Londonderry Vermin Control

Vermin can refer to a number of types of pests. While there is no legal description for vermin, the term is usually 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 usually nuisance pests which can spread disease or cause other health and safety issues such as contaminating foodstuffs. If you believe there might be a vermin infestation on your premises, it’s important to speak to a specialist pest control company immediately as pests could 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 commonly controlled by using an insecticide delivered either as a spray or as a powder. In addition, it’s critical to eliminate 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 will not try and force their way in. Getting rid of their access to food may require covering pet food and correctly storing all dried foodstuffs. Removing the access to shelter may involve correctly 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.

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 area coupled with help and advice on how to prevent the pests from coming back.
