How Do We Approach Rodent Control
When conducting rodent control we adopt the approach of Integrated Pest Management.
- We will firstly conduct a survey to establish what the pest is, why rodents are on your property and most importantly how its getting in. We do this by using cameras, ultraviolet tracking and our skill and expertise in good rodent investigation.
- We use an Integrated Pest Management plan to solve your rodent issue. This may be simple exclusion methods followed by trapping and baiting.
- Finally, we will monitor your property for further signs of rodent activity. Often there is a structural defect in the drainage, guttering or a hole in building masonry. We can fix all areas of access.

Signs of mice infestation include droppings, fresh gnawing on furniture, tracks and rodent sightings. Mice have a very short gestation period of around three weeks, with a litter reaching up to 16. The young reach sexual maturity in as little as six weeks which means mathematically, that one pair of mice can result in 2,000 offspring in a single year.
Squirrel Control – Infestations & Removal
Known for causing more structural damage to properties than all other rodents, they are loud and may contaminate uncovered water tanks if they have taken up residence in your loft. Grey Squirrels are classed as vermin and will prey on birds’ nests, eating eggs & young. It is illegal to release a trapped Grey Squirrel and for this reason, people prefer an experienced squirrel control professional.
Due to the enquizitive nature of Squirrels an infestation is treated swiftly. Unlike rats Squirrels love to investigate new objects which aids control. Control of Squirrels in outside areas can be carried out, but this needs some careful consideration, since the cleared area may be re-occupied at a later point if it isn’t proofed correctly.
To control the squirrels we use a combination of trapping & exclusion. Legally, certain traps have to be checked daily so can only be used if this can be done. We also identify the entry points of the squirrels so we can undertake and advise on squirrel-proofing measures.
