Welwyn Garden City Vermin Control

Vermin can describe a number of different types of pests. Since there is no legal description for vermin, the phrase is commonly 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 generally nuisance pests which can spread disease or cause other health and safety issues such as contaminating food. If you suspect there may be a vermin infestation on your property, it is important to speak to an experienced pest control company immediately as pests can often breed rapidly and cause more problems.

The approach to pest control for vermin will vary depending on the species. While rodents are usually caught using traps, insects are often controlled by using an insecticide delivered either as a spray or as a powder. Additionally, it’s vital to eliminate the access to food and shelter. Most pets will only venture into homes or other structures where it’s possible for them to do so, meaning that if you take steps to secure 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. Removing the access to shelter may require 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.

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 stop the pests from returning.
