    Hi, does anyone have one of hhe se that they will come and use in my loft? I have a rat problem, the crawl space is too small to get into. I can't find entry point on outside of house, so would like to trace it from inside to outside. It's an old bungalow in the countryside , stone walls, various extentions, bit of a muddle. I blocked up drains with expanded wire held on with jubilee clips over ends of pipes, can't see any cracks, holes etc. They keep me awake nights! PLEASE HELP.

    Take your smartphone, tape it to a brush. set it to video and put it to whatever location you want.


    Cheap, easy effective. Then watch the video back.

    They are cheap for reason though, the image quality can be questionable at best.

    I have one.

    Ah, back to my original question so.....Anyone got a good pole camera, or something that will allow me to see places in loft and/or drain to inspect for holes and damage?

    Just realised, original post doesn't mention that I need this because I have vermin getting into the loft. I don't expect it for free...just couldn't find anyone online in Ireland. The sevice is available in the U.K by the look of it, so there m6 st be someone here?
