Braintree Vermin Control

Vermin can refer to a variety of types of pests. While there is no legal classification for vermin, the phrase is typically thought 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 typically nuisance pests which can spread disease or cause other health and safety issues such as contaminating foodstuffs. If you suspect there may be a vermin infestation on your property, it is important to speak to a specialist pest control company immediately as pests might breed very quickly and cause more problems.

The approach to pest control for vermin will vary depending on the species. While rodents tend to be caught using traps, insects are generally 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 structures where it is possible for them to do so, meaning that if you take steps to protect your home they typically do not try and force their way in. Removing their access to food may involve covering pet food and correctly storing all dried foodstuffs. Getting rid of the access to shelter may require properly securing basements and roof spaces by blocking up any gaps, and making sure external walls don’t have any small gaps for them to enter through.

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