Highly adaptive and can squeeze through gaps as small as 15mm, making thorough proofing essential.
Mice
Breed rapidly and often nest within walls, requiring a combination of baiting and sealing techniques to eliminate infestations effectively.
Squirrels
Particularly grey squirrels, can be destructive in lofts and attics, chewing through insulation and electrical wiring.
Here’s How We Approach Rodent Control
If the infestation poses an urgent health risk or is particularly severe, we may consider additional treatment options, which we will discuss with you to ensure complete transparency and safety.
Entry Point Sealing
We identify and seal entry points to prevent rodents from entering your property. This includes small gaps in walls, floors, or roofing where rats and mice can gain access.
Proofing Solutions
Proofing your property is a crucial step in long-term rodent control. By installing barriers, rodent mesh, and other deterrents, we ensure rodents are kept out of your premises without harming them.
Bait Stations and Traps
For rat control and mouse control, we use secure bait stations and humane traps, minimising risk to non-target animals while safely managing rodent populations.
Understanding the Threat of Rodents
Rodents, including rats, mice, and squirrels, pose significant risks to properties and people:
- Health Hazards: Rodents can carry harmful bacteria and viruses, spreading them through droppings, urine, and nesting materials. These contaminants can lead to illnesses affecting both humans and pets.
- Property Damage: Rats, mice, and squirrels are notorious for gnawing on wires, wooden structures, and insulation, often resulting in fire hazards or costly repairs. Squirrels, in particular, can cause extensive damage by chewing through roof timbers and creating nests in lofts or attics.
- Food Contamination: Kitchens, pantries, and food storage areas are vulnerable to contamination, especially in commercial settings. This poses serious hygiene and safety concerns for businesses such as restaurants and cafes.
- Noise and Disturbances: Rodents can cause significant noise, particularly when nesting in lofts, walls, or crawl spaces. This can disrupt your household or business operations, with squirrels often being particularly active and noisy in early mornings or evenings.
Garden and Outdoor Damage: Squirrels are known to dig up plants, disturb soil, and raid bird feeders, creating mess and inconvenience in outdoor spaces.
