Ashington Rodent Control

There are a wide variety of species of rodents and many of these are regarded as pests in the UK. The most prevalent rodent pests are rats and mice, but squirrels and voles are also found in the United Kingdom. The technique of pest control for these animals will vary, but rats and mice are usually controlled using similar methods, making adjustments to account for the difference in proportions between the species. Rodents cause serious problems if an infestation is allowed to grow too big. Due to the fast rate of breeding, rodent populations can grow very quickly.

Rodents in structures may cause problems if left uncontrolled, and the advice of experienced pest control companies should be sought promptly. Rodents spread diseases and can contaminate food products if permitted to travel into kitchens or other areas of your home. They may also gnaw through electric cables or structural elements of the building, creating fire risks or even damage to the building frame.

There are a number of techniques for controlling rodent pests. Live capture or snap traps can be utilised, or poisoned baits can be laid. Any pest control method must be accomplished alongside deterrent methods and access prevention to make sure that the pest control is successful. This might include blocking up access holes into buildings, as well as making sure there are no food sources for the rodents to eat. Specialist pest control companies can survey the building and determine areas where deterrent methods and access blocking should be applied.
