Barnet Vermin Control

Vermin can refer to a variety of types of pests. While there is no legal classification for vermin, the phrase is commonly considered to make reference to rodents such as mice, rats and grey squirrels as well as insects like ants, wasps, bed bugs and cockroaches. Vermin are normally nuisance pests which can spread disease or cause other health and safety issues such as contaminating food products. If you suspect there may be a vermin infestation on your property, it is important to speak to a professional pest control company immediately as pests may breed rapidly and create more problems.

The method of pest control for vermin will change depending on the species. While rodents tend to be caught using traps, insects are usually controlled by using an insecticide delivered either as a spray or as a powder. Furthermore, it’s vital to remove the access to food and shelter. Most pets will only venture into homes or other properties where it is possible for them to do so, meaning that if you take steps to protect your home they generally do not try and force their way in. Eliminating their access to food may involve covering pet food and correctly storing all dried foodstuffs. Removing the access to shelter may require appropriately securing basements and roof spaces by blocking up any spaces, and making sure external walls do not have any small gaps for them to enter through.

Specialist pest control companies can advise you on the best way to deal with a vermin problem. This will most likely involve a treatment of the region coupled with help and advice on how to prevent the pests from coming back.
