Watford Rodent Control

There are a variety of species of rodents and many of these are thought to be pests in the UK. The most common rodent pests are rats and mice, but squirrels and voles are also present in the UK. The method of pest control for these animals will change, but rats and mice are typically controlled using similar methods, making adjustments to account for the difference in size between the species. Rodents cause significant problems if an infestation is permitted to grow too large. Because of the quick rate of breeding, rodent populations can expand very rapidly.

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 home. They may also gnaw through electric wires or structural components of the building, creating fire risks or even damage to the building frame.

There are a variety of ways 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 along with deterrent methods and access prevention to ensure that the pest control is effective. This may consist of blocking up access holes into buildings, as well as guaranteeing there are no food sources for the rodents to consume. Expert pest control companies can survey the building and determine areas where deterrent measures and access blocking should be applied.
