This week, we’ve been working alongside The John Henry Group, who maintain fibre optic networks on behalf of Virgin Media, after reports of rat activity inside two external cable cabinets.

Upon inspection, both boxes showed clear signs of rodent presence, including droppings and disturbance around the fibre infrastructure. These cabinets house critical fibre optic connections supplying broadband services to surrounding properties, so fast action was essential.

We carried out:

✔️ Full inspection of both cabinets
✔️ Safe placement of secure baiting systems
✔️ Monitoring measures to track activity levels
✔️ Recommendations to prevent further ingress

Rodents are drawn to these cabinets for warmth and shelter, and unfortunately fibre cabling can be vulnerable to gnawing damage – which can lead to costly service disruptions.

We’re proud to be supporting infrastructure contractors like The John Henry Group in keeping essential services protected across Dorset and Hampshire.

If your business manages external utility boxes, plant rooms or service cabinets, prevention is always cheaper than repair.

This client recently had several trees removed from their garden, which disturbed an established rat habitat in the ground. Within just a few days, they began hearing movement in their loft space and contacted us immediately.

On inspection, we identified rat droppings and evidence of gnawing to timber beams in the loft. Bait trays were strategically placed in high activity areas, along with UV tracking dust to monitor movement and pinpoint the entry route.

At the second visit, all trays had been completely taken and there was heavy tracking activity around them. This allowed us to trace the problem to an access hole on the exterior of the roof, concealed behind the soil pipe, something that could only be identified from outside the property.

The entry point was sealed, and one week later there has been no further movement, no bait activity, and most importantly no more noises in the loft.

We don’t just put poison down.
We identify the source of the problem and eliminate it properly.

Another happy client who can finally sleep peacefully at night.

Customer was hearing scratching in the loft and underneath the kitchen units. We used mousestop to block up an entry point the rats were using to get into the kitchen. This stopped them from gaining access to the kitchen instantly.

There was successful baiting inside the loft and in the drains which killed off the infestation after week 2.

After investigating the drain we found that there was a redundant drain pipe that was left uncapped and hadn’t been in use since he moved the toilet 17 years ago. Cap was put on the drain stopping the rats from re-entry.

Another happy customer, and if you have any rodent issues, give us a call!

🐀Rats don’t wait for an invite… they chew their way in. These photos show classic signs of rat activity: gnawed wheelie bin lids, shredded plastic edges, and entry holes big enough for a rodent to squeeze through.

Rats target bins for two reasons:
🔹 Easy food sources
🔹 Warm shelter

If you’re noticing:
✔️ Holes appearing in your bin
✔️ Jagged chew marks
✔️ Ripped bin bags inside
✔️ Scratching sounds near your waste area

…then you might have uninvited guests.

At Primitive Control, we don’t just treat the problem — we find the entry points, remove the food sources, and stop the cycle.

📞 Give us a call if your bins look anything like this.

Contact us today for a free bird proofing survey on your property✅

Solar Panel Wiring Protection:
* Ensure your solar panels stay efficient and safe with dedicated bird proofing. Birds can nest around panels, causing damage to wiring and reducing energy output. Shielding solar panel wiring prevents unwanted avian interference, keeping your energy source reliable and efficient.

Balcony Bird Netting:
* Enjoy your balcony without unwelcome avian visitors. Bird netting acts as a protective barrier, creating a bird-free zone while allowing you to relish the outdoors. With its versatility and unobtrusive design, balcony bird netting is the perfect solution for a harmonious living space.

Post and Wire Proofing:
* Defend your property with post and wire proofing, a discreet yet effective method. By installing low-profile wires strategically, it discourages birds from landing or perching. This humane approach provides a barrier without compromising the aesthetics of your space, keeping unwanted guests at bay.

Bird Spikes for Precision Defense
* Precision meets protection with bird spikes! Ideal for ledges, rooftops, or any elevated surface, these spikes deter birds from landing. Their humane design ensures safety for both birds and property, offering a reliable solution to keep your spaces free from perching pests.

Choose the right bird proofing method for your property and enjoy a feather-free environment that enhances both aesthetics and functionality. 🏡🐦
