Large Victorian villas have big roof spaces and plenty of nooks. We identify what is behind the noises in Carrington and treat it properly.
The larger Victorian villas near Mansfield Road bring larger roof voids, cellars and chimney breasts, all of which can host pests unseen for months. A faint thumping at dusk may be a squirrel, while light scratching at night is more often a mouse. Telling them apart changes the treatment. Older villas often have more than one loft level, so we check each void and the eaves, because an entry hole may be well away from where you hear the noise.
We ask where and when you hear it, then inspect the loft and exterior. Grey squirrels nest in lofts and chew cables, so we take those seriously. Once treated, we give a free prevention survey covering missing tiles, gaps at eaves and old vents. Carrington's terraces get the same careful look. Stored wool, carpets and soft furnishings in large homes are also worth checking when you see small flying insects or holes in fabric.
Squirrels are mostly active by day, often early morning, with heavier running sounds. Rats and mice are more often noticed at night. Droppings and gnaw marks help us identify which one it is. Squirrels are mostly seen by day, while rats and mice are more likely at night, and chewed pipes or insulation can show us which animal is responsible.
It can be. Grey squirrels and rodents chew cables, which is a risk. If you suspect it, avoid using affected circuits and have a qualified electrician look, while we deal with the pest. Do not use damaged sockets or lights if you suspect gnawing, and book an electrician to inspect the wiring once we have dealt with the cause.
No. There are no call-out charges, and prices are fixed so you know what you are paying before we arrive.
Cockroaches are rarely seen first. In Carrington's villas and terraces, a faint smell or a speck on a shelf is often the first hint that something is wrong.
