Canterbury 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 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 change, but rats and mice are often controlled using similar methods, making variations to account for the difference in proportions between the species. Rodents cause severe issues if an infestation is permitted to grow too large. Due to the quick rate of breeding, rodent populations can increase very rapidly.

Rodents in structures may cause issues if left uncontrolled, and the assistance of specialist pest control companies should be sought promptly. Rodents spread diseases and can contaminate foodstuffs if allowed to travel into kitchens or other areas of the home. They may also gnaw through electrical wiring or structural elements of the building, creating fire risks or even damage to the building structure.

There are a number of methods of managing rodent pests. Live capture or snap traps can be utilised, or poisoned baits can be laid. Any pest control method must be carried out along with deterrent methods and access prevention to make sure that the pest control is effective. This can involve blocking up access holes into buildings, as well as making sure there are no food sources for the rodents to eat. Experienced pest control companies can survey the building and identify areas where deterrent methods and access blocking should be utilised.
