Altrincham Rodent Control

There are a wide array of species of rodents and many of these are regarded as pests in the United Kingdom. The most frequent rodent pests are rats and mice, but squirrels and voles are also present in the UK. The technique 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 severe problems if an infestation is permitted to grow too big. Because of the quick rate of breeding, rodent populations can grow very quickly.

Rodents in structures will cause problems if left uncontrolled, and the advice of experienced pest control companies should be sought without delay. Rodents spread diseases and can contaminate food if allowed to travel into kitchens or other areas of your home. They might also gnaw through electric wires or structural components of the building, creating fire risks or even damage to the building frame.

There are a variety of techniques for managing rodent pests. Live capture or snap traps may be used, or poisoned baits can be laid. Any pest control method must be completed along with deterrent methods and access prevention to ensure that the pest control is effective. This can consist of blocking up access holes into buildings, as well as ensuring there are no food sources for the rodents to consume. Professional pest control companies can survey the building and identify areas where deterrent measures and access blocking should be used.
