Rows of semi-detached houses with back gardens suit ants, wasps and mice alike. We sort the problem in Carlton and help stop it returning.
Carlton is largely inter-war and post-war semi-detached housing, each with a front and back garden. That means ants nesting under paving, wasps in the loft eaves, and mice finding their way in through a side extension or garage. Rats can travel along the line of back gardens if food is left out. Check the side gate, the back door threshold and any gap by the boiler flue, as these are favourite entry points in this kind of house.
A common mistake is to lay poison without knowing the pest or where it is living. We would rather identify it first, then treat it so that you are not putting out product that is not needed. Each treatment includes free advice, and a prevention survey covering the roof, doors and drains. Where ants are concerned, a small amount of sweet food left on a worktop can bring a whole trail within hours, so wipe surfaces and store sugar well.
It carries risks for children, pets and wildlife, and it may not address the cause. Please speak to us first so the pest is identified and handled properly. We prefer to inspect, identify the species and then place treatment in the right spot, which reduces waste and avoids unnecessary use of products around your home.
They follow trails from a nest, often outside, to food. Wiping the trail away does not remove the nest. Treating the nest, and removing food sources, is what stops it. Cleaning removes the scent trail, but the nest keeps sending workers. Blocking cracks, storing food in sealed containers and dealing with the nest are what stop the cycle.
No. There are no call-out charges, and prices are fixed so you know what you are paying before we arrive.
In a Carlton semi with a mature tree at the back, a squirrel in the loft is a familiar story. The sooner it is dealt with, the less it chews.
Read the advice →When the nights get colder, rats look for warmth and food. A Carlton semi with a warm kitchen and a quiet airing cupboard is an attractive option.
