Watford stands on a low hill near the River Colne that was originally a fording point for travellers along an ancient trackway. The town was located on the first dry ground above the marshy edges of the River Colne. The name Watford may have arisen from the Old English for "waet" (full of water).

Watford's High Street still follows the line of this ancient route on the northern side of the ford. Over time Watford’s location on a trading route allowed the town to develop, and it has become a major regional centre for the northern Home Counties.

The main retail areas are based around the Harlequin Shopping Centre, a large purpose-built indoor mall with over 140 shops, restaurants and cafes. The High Street however, is the main focus of nightlife, having a high concentration of the town's bars, pubs, clubs and restaurants.

The array of cafes, bars, pubs, takeaways and restaurants that cater for shoppers, locals and visitors can inadvertently attract rodents. Rats and mice are scavengers, which can flourish in such areas, eating everything from rubbish in bins to discarded left-overs.

There are 43 public parks, gardens, recreation grounds and allotments in Watford, making it a very green town. Six of these have been awarded a Green Flag, in recognition of their quality. Cassiobury Park is one of the larger parks and was formed from the grounds of nearby Cassiobury House - consisting of 190 acres (0.77 km2) of open space, with the Grand Union Canal passes through the park.

Rodents will use these open spaces such as parks and gardens as safe harbourages to nest. Rats will then forage these areas and beyond in sheds, basements, garages and gardens for food scraps, spilt litter, unsecured bin bags and any other potential food sources.

Rats and mice are opportunistic scavengers surviving in populated areas from Croxley Green to Elstree, that can offer them easy food and shelter. 

Rodents eat anything from contents of refuse and compost bins, discarded left-overs to fruits and seeds in gardens and parks as well as food in our homes if they get in. 

If you’ve seen signs of rats or mice the safest and most effective way to get rid of rodents is by professional, targeted treatments.
