Margate Rodent Control

There are a wide selection of species of rodents and many of these are regarded as being pests in the UK. The most frequent rodent pests are rats and mice, but squirrels and voles are also present in the UK. The technique of pest control for these animals will vary, but rats and mice are often managed using similar methods, making variations 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 swift rate of breeding, rodent populations can increase very quickly.

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

There are a number of techniques for managing 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 effective. This may involve blocking up access holes into buildings, as well as ensuring there are no food sources for the rodents to eat. Specialist pest control companies can survey the building and locate areas where deterrent measures and access blocking should be applied.
