Edgware Rodent Control

There are a wide array 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 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 size between the species. Rodents cause serious problems if an infestation is permitted to grow too big. Because of the fast rate of breeding, rodent populations can grow very quickly.

Rodents in structures may cause issues if left uncontrolled, and the assistance of expert pest control companies should be sought quickly. Rodents spread diseases and can contaminate foodstuffs if allowed to travel into kitchens or other areas of the house. They could also gnaw through electrical wiring or structural components of the building, causing fire risks or even damage to the building frame.

There are a number of ways of controlling rodent pests. Live capture or snap traps may be used, 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 effective. This could involve blocking up access holes into buildings, as well as ensuring there are no food sources for the rodents to eat. Experienced pest control companies can survey the building and determine areas where deterrent methods and access blocking should be used.
