Older homes and post-war houses stand side by side here. We visit Stockhill, find the cause and treat it, whatever age of property you have.
Housing of different ages in one area means pests can exploit different weaknesses. An older house may have a loose tile or crumbling mortar, while a post-war semi may have gaps where a pipe passes through an outside wall. The gardens in between give rats and mice cover and routes. It is also worth checking the loft hatch and eaves, because an older roof can have small gaps that rodents and wasps find easily.
Our visit begins with a look at the inside and outside, then a plain explanation of what we found. If you keep chickens, bird feed or compost, mention it, since these attract rodents. We finish with a free pest prevention survey so you know what to change in the garden and around the house. Ants are easiest to treat once we know where the trail starts and finishes, so take note of the times of day you see them.
It can. Spilled seed on the ground is an easy meal for rats and mice. Using feeders with trays and sweeping up beneath them reduces the draw. Place seed out of reach, avoid putting food scraps on compost heaps and clear what falls, as these simple habits cut down the attraction considerably.
Follow the trail. Ants walk set routes between food and the nest, often outside under paving or by a wall. Tell us where you see them and we can find and treat the nest.
No. There are no call-out charges, and prices are fixed so you know what you are paying before we arrive.
If the sounds in the roof come at breakfast time and sound like someone moving furniture, think squirrel before mouse. Here is what to check and what to do.
