Our services in Ramsgate, Broadstairs, Margate, Canterbury, Deal, Dover, Folkestone and all surrounding areas help to solve and prevent your pest problems. On occasions there are things you can do to prevent pests too which we have shared below:
Birds
Each bird problem is unique and birds in large numbers can cause numerous damage to properties with their droppings also causing a health hazard to humans. Birds are attracted by food and for harbourage. Nesting Seagulls will return year after year so don’t put off this problem for another year!
How to prevent Bird problems?
Prevention is better than cure for any bird control problems. We can provide bird proofing such as bird spikes, wire netting, chimney capping and other deterrents. If you already have a current bird control problem we are able to resolve this issue for you and provide services and advice regarding any clean-up.
Wasps
Wasp problems occur when they find a suitable environment to nest in. Wasps will look for warm, dry places but are known to nest in gardens as well. Wasps can become extremely aggressive when threatened so it is best that you call us straight away if you encounter a nest in an unsuitable location.
How to prevent Wasp problems?
Wasp problems will always occur during the summer months. We can apply some preventative grates over airbricks to prevent them from accessing your home.
Rats and Mice
Rats and Mice are looking for food, water and warmth and often this can be found in our homes, outbuilding, business’ and shops. Each rodent infestation is unique and a full survey of the property will need to be carried out to identify the extent of the problem. Rat and Mice infestations can cause fires by knawing on electric cables, damage to properties. The risk of Leptospirosis is a serious concern and can be life threatening.

Rat and Mice problems are more likely to occur in winter when the weather is harsher and food is scarce. Food sources should be suitably stored and we can provide services to proof your property whether domestic or commercial.
Moles
Moles need to eat ¾ of their body weight each day. They are simply looking for earthworms but they will eat other grubs and slugs as well and will stay in a particular area where they are able to find plenty to eat. A mole is indiscriminate about where they tunnel and create mounds, which are the tell-tale sign you have a mole problem. These are not only unsightly but can lead to injury and even subsidence.
