Rats in my house

    I live in an estate in Dublin. It is an end of terrace house. A few weeks ago we saw a rat in the kitchen. It ran under the dishwasher (integrated). We saw it (or another one) a couple of days later. We got a pest control company out who did 3 visits for €200. They laid poison traps around and on the 3rd visit none of the bait had been eaten and it seemed sorted. That was two weeks ago.

    This evening we saw another one who ran out the same way. We filled up small holes outside etc. The areas behind the presses in the kitchen are veey awkward to get at in terms of checking for any gaps. The pest control guy couldn't locate where they were getting in.

    Anyway some questions:

    Do you think the pest control people will come out again without charging?

    They advised getting the outside sewer done with smoke, cameras etc to see if there are any holes but it would cost over €300. Is this worth doing?

    Finally any other advice would be welcome.

    Thanks in advance.
