West Midlands Vermin Control

Vermin can describe a number of different types of pests. While there is no legal description for vermin, the term is generally 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 commonly 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’s important to speak to an experienced pest control company immediately as pests might breed rapidly and create 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 important to remove the access to food and shelter. Most pets will only venture into homes or other buildings where it’s 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. Eliminating their access to food may involve covering pet food and properly storing all dried foodstuffs. Getting rid of the access to shelter may involve properly securing basements and roof spaces by blocking up any gaps, and making certain external walls do not have any small gaps for them to enter through.

Specialist pest control companies can advise you on 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 stop the pests from coming back.
