New Milton Rodent Control

There are a wide array 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 found in the UK. The technique of pest control for these animals will vary, but rats and mice are typically managed using similar methods, making adjustments to account for the difference in proportions between the species. Rodents cause serious problems if an infestation is permitted to grow too large. Due to the fast rate of breeding, rodent populations can grow very rapidly.

Rodents in structures will cause issues if left uncontrolled, and the assistance of professional pest control companies should be sought immediately. Rodents spread diseases and can contaminate food products if allowed to travel into kitchens or other areas of the home. They can also gnaw through electric wiring or structural elements of the building, creating fire risks or even damage to the building frame.

There are a variety of techniques for controlling rodent pests. Live capture or snap traps may be used, or poisoned baits can be laid. Any pest control method must be performed alongside deterrent methods and access prevention to make sure that the pest control is effective. This might consist of blocking up access holes into buildings, as well as ensuring there are no food sources for the rodents to eat. Professional pest control companies can survey the building and identify areas where deterrent measures and access blocking should be used.
