Chatham Vermin Control

Vermin can refer to several different types of pests. Since there is no legal definition for vermin, the term is frequently thought to refer to rodents such as mice, rats and grey squirrels as well as insects like ants, wasps, bed bugs and cockroaches. Vermin are usually nuisance pests which can spread disease or cause other health and safety issues such as contaminating food products. If you believe there might be a vermin infestation on your premises, it is important to speak to a qualified pest control company immediately as pests may breed very quickly and create more problems.

The approach to pest control for vermin will change 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 critical 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 typically do not try and force their way in. Getting rid of their access to food may involve covering pet food and properly storing all dried foodstuffs. Getting rid of the access to shelter may require effectively securing basements and roof spaces by blocking up any spaces, and making sure that external walls do not have any small gaps for them to enter through.

Experienced 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 area coupled with help and advice on how to prevent the pests from returning.
