EV Charger Installation Creates Rat Highway in Little Gransden
I was recently responded to a call in Little Gransden where a homeowner was experiencing a rat infestation. During my initial inspection, I quickly identified the culprit: a poorly installed EV charger. While the homeowner was thrilled with their new electric vehicle charging capability, the installation had inadvertently created a superhighway for rodents.
The installation company had drilled a large hole for the charging cable but instead of properly sealing it, they attempted to conceal the opening behind a repurposed drain pipe. This left a gaping entry point, practically inviting rats into the property. We found clear evidence of rodent activity inside.


I got to work immediately. First, we humanely removed the existing rat population. Then, we installed a robust rodent-proof mesh to block the entry point. Finally, we sealed the area with a waterproof sealant to ensure long-lasting protection. Now, the homeowner can enjoy their EV charger without worrying about unwanted guests.
This case highlights the importance of hiring qualified and experienced installers for any home improvement project. A seemingly small oversight can lead to significant pest problems. If you’re in the Little Gransden area and need pest control services, contact Green Pest Control Solutions today!
