Braintree Rodent Control

There are a wide array of species of rodents and many of these are considered to be pests in the UK. The most common rodent pests are rats and mice, but squirrels and voles are also present in the United Kingdom. The method of pest control for these animals will change, but rats and mice are often 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 rapid rate of breeding, rodent populations can expand very rapidly.

Rodents in structures will cause problems if left uncontrolled, and the advice of experienced pest control companies should be sought quickly. Rodents spread diseases and can contaminate food products if permitted to travel into kitchens or other areas of your home. They could also gnaw through electrical cables or structural elements of the building, causing fire risks or even harm to the building structure.

There are a variety 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 carried out alongside deterrent methods and access prevention to ensure that the pest control is successful. This could include blocking up access holes into buildings, as well as making sure there are no food sources for the rodents to consume. Qualified pest control companies can survey the building and identify areas where deterrent methods and access blocking should be utilised.
