Wells Rodent Control

There are a wide selection of species of rodents and many of these are considered to be pests in the UK. The most widespread 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 managed using similar methods, making changes to account for the difference in proportions between the species. Rodents cause severe issues if an infestation is permitted to grow too large. Due to the rapid rate of breeding, rodent populations can increase very rapidly.

Rodents in buildings may cause issues if left uncontrolled, and the advice of specialist pest control companies should be sought quickly. Rodents spread diseases and can contaminate foodstuffs if permitted to travel into kitchens or other areas of the home. They could also gnaw through electrical cables or structural elements of the building, causing fire risks or even damage to the building structure.

There are a selection of ways of controlling rodent pests. Live capture or snap traps can be utilised, or poisoned baits can be laid. Any pest control method must be carried out together with deterrent methods and access prevention to make sure that the pest control is effective. This may include blocking up access holes into buildings, as well as making sure there are no food sources for the rodents to eat. Experienced pest control companies can survey the building and identify areas where deterrent measures and access blocking should be applied.
