Frome Rodent Control

There are a variety of species of rodents and many of these are considered to be pests in the United Kingdom. The most typical rodent pests are rats and mice, but squirrels and voles are also present in the United Kingdom. The technique of pest control for these animals will vary, but rats and mice are typically managed using similar methods, making allowances to account for the difference in size between the species. Rodents cause significant problems if an infestation is permitted to grow too big. Due to the rapid rate of breeding, rodent populations can develop very quickly.

Rodents in buildings will cause issues if left uncontrolled, and the advice of professional 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 the home. They might also gnaw through electric wiring or structural components of the building, causing fire risks or even damage to the building structure.

There are a variety 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 completed together with deterrent methods and access prevention to ensure that the pest control is effective. This can involve blocking up access holes into buildings, as well as guaranteeing there are no food sources for the rodents to eat. Specialist pest control companies can survey the building and identify areas where deterrent methods and access blocking should be utilised.
