A market town in north Nottinghamshire with an old centre and plenty of newer housing. We tackle pests in Worksop homes and trade premises.
Worksop is a market town in Bassetlaw with Worksop Priory at its heart, older town-centre buildings around it and later housing beyond. Large old buildings attract pigeons, which roost on ledges and in roof spaces, while the narrow rear access and yards of older property favour rats and mice. Narrow alleys and back yards behind older shops are where rats tend to run, so we look at waste storage, drains and door gaps to the rear.
Pigeons are wild birds and protected, so we deal with them lawfully, typically through proofing. For homes and shops alike we identify the pest, treat it and give free advice. Autumn is when we hear most about mice coming in, with wasp nests following the opposite pattern through the summer. Netting, spikes and sealing roof entry points are the usual choices for pigeons, and we advise what is lawful and fitting for your type of building.
Wild birds are protected, so the approach has to be lawful. We usually recommend proofing to stop them roosting, rather than anything harmful. Autumn brings mice indoors as the temperature falls, so we suggest checking the gaps before then, and sealing anything near pipes, doors or air vents.
It can be, as shared walls, yards and food premises affect how pests spread. We look at the whole setting, not just your own room or unit. Birds also leave droppings that block gutters and spoil stonework, so proofing helps protect the building as well as people walking beneath.

Two different insects make very similar holes in wool. Working out which one you have in your Worksop home decides where you look and what you treat.
