Old terraces and former works buildings give pests places to hide. We treat homes and small businesses in Old Basford and show you where they are getting in.
Old Basford mixes older terraces with premises that once served industry, and many of those buildings have been split, converted or left half-used. Empty units and unused yards are quiet places for rats to burrow, and pigeons settle on ledges and loading bays where nobody disturbs them. Gaps in old brickwork, rotten doors and broken air vents are the typical entry points, and we show you each one we find on the visit.
For homes, the work is the usual mix of identifying the pest, treating it and sealing what we can advise on. For small businesses and landlords with vacant space, a commercial survey with a written inspection report is a practical starting point. Wild birds are protected, so any proofing has to be done lawfully. Because Old Basford still has working and converted units next to homes, we take the neighbouring uses into account when judging where a problem may have started.
Yes, but wild birds are protected, so the approach has to be lawful. Usually that means proofing ledges and entry points rather than anything harmful. We will look at the building and explain what is suitable.
Vacant premises can attract rats and mice because nobody is disturbing them. A survey can check for signs and gaps. Our commercial division offers free surveys with a free written inspection report. We check yards, stores, drains and access points, and a written report gives you a clear record of what needs doing and what has been found.
No. There are no call-out charges, and prices are fixed so you know what you are paying before we arrive.
If ants have taken over a corner of the worktop, start by working out where they come from. In Old Basford's older buildings, the nest may be under the yard.
Read the advice →Pigeons keep returning to the same ledge because it suits them. Proofing changes the ledge instead of chasing the bird, which is why it lasts where scaring does not.
