Dunstable Vermin Control

Vermin can describe a number of different types of pests. Since there is no legal classification for vermin, the term is typically considered 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. If you believe there may be a vermin infestation on your property, it is important to speak to a professional pest control company immediately as pests could breed rapidly 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 often controlled by using an insecticide delivered either as a spray or as a powder. Additionally, it’s important to eliminate the access to food and shelter. Most pets will only venture into homes or other buildings where it is possible for them to do so, meaning that if you take steps to protect your property they will not try and force their way in. Removing their access to food may require covering pet food and appropriately storing all dried foodstuffs. Eliminating the access to shelter may require properly securing basements and roof spaces by blocking up any spaces, and making certain external walls do not have any small spaces for them to enter through.

Expert 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 stop the pests from coming back.
