There are a wide variety of species of rodents and many of these are regarded as pests in the UK. The most frequent rodent pests are rats and mice, but squirrels and voles are also present in the UK. The method of pest control for these animals will vary, but rats and mice are generally controlled using similar methods, making changes to account for the difference in proportions between the species. Rodents cause serious problems if an infestation is allowed to grow too large. Because of the quick rate of breeding, rodent populations can increase very quickly.
Rodents in buildings will cause issues if left uncontrolled, and the advice of qualified pest control companies should be sought without delay. Rodents spread diseases and can contaminate foodstuffs if permitted to travel into kitchens or other areas of the property. They can also gnaw through electrical wiring or structural elements of the building, creating fire risks or even damage to the building frame.
There are a selection of ways of controlling rodent pests. Live capture or snap traps can be utilised, or poisoned baits can be laid. Any pest control method must be accomplished together with deterrent methods and access prevention to ensure that the pest control is successful. This can consist of blocking up access holes into buildings, as well as ensuring there are no food sources for the rodents to consume. Specialist pest control companies can survey the building and determine areas where deterrent measures and access blocking should be utilised.
