Sunderland 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 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 generally managed using similar methods, making adjustments to account for the difference in proportions between the species. Rodents cause significant problems if an infestation is allowed to grow too big. Because of the fast rate of breeding, rodent populations can develop very quickly.

Rodents in buildings will cause issues if left uncontrolled, and the assistance of professional pest control companies should be sought without delay. Rodents spread diseases and can contaminate food if permitted to travel into kitchens or other areas of the house. They could also gnaw through electric wiring or structural components of the building, causing fire risks or even damage to the building structure.

There are various 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 performed together with deterrent methods and access prevention to ensure that the pest control is effective. This could include 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 identify areas where deterrent methods and access blocking should be used.
