Farmland pressure means rodents often head for houses and outbuildings. We help East Stoke residents deal with them and keep them out.
Village life near the A46 comes with open fields on every side, and farming brings its own rhythms. When crops are harvested and fields turned over, mice and rats look for new shelter, and the nearest buildings are barns, garages and houses. In summer, wasps nest in outbuildings and old sheds. Walk round the outside and look at the base of walls, doors and vents, because small gaps there are where rodents get in most often.
A visit usually starts outside, looking at stores, hedge lines and the edges of buildings, because that is where the route in often lies. We then deal with the pest and give free advice. Feed bins, log piles and dry stores deserve attention, as they provide food and nesting spots very close to the house. Tidy storage helps, and so does clearing weeds and long grass near the building, which removes cover and makes burrows easier to spot.
It can. Cutting crops removes cover and food, so rodents move to nearby buildings. Early proofing and tidy storage help. Seal any gaps you find, store feed in lidded bins and keep wood stacks off the ground and away from walls to reduce rodents' favourite hiding places.

In a village surrounded by farmland, a wasp nest might sit in a hedge bank, an outbuilding or the soffit. Whether it needs treatment depends on where it is.
Read the advice →Ants rarely start in the kitchen. In a village house surrounded by farmland, the nest is often under the patio or in the garden bed, and the kitchen is just a food stop.
