Pest Control in Yeovil

Yeovil is the largest town in south Somerset, a busy place spread across hilly ground above the River Yeo with a mix of commercial, industrial and residential areas that give it more of a small city feel than a typical market town. The town centre around Middle Street, Princes Street and the Quedam shopping centre has been heavily redeveloped, but older streets like Silver Street and the area around the church of St John still have character. The residential spread reaches out to Westlands, Preston, Mudford and Lufton, covering a wide range of housing from pre-war terraces to modern estates. Rats are an ongoing issue across Yeovil. The River Yeo and Dodham Brook both cut through built-up areas and provide reliable routes for rats to move through the town. Properties near the waterways at Ninesprings and along the river towards Barwick tend to see the most frequent rat activity.

The density of housing across Yeovil's central and inner suburbs means that mouse problems are common too. The terraced streets around Sherborne Road, the Huish area and the older parts of Westlands have all the usual issues with ageing buildings. Gaps around pipework, worn door seals, cracked air bricks and poorly fitted meter box covers are enough to let mice in and in terraced rows these problems often affect several houses at once. The trading estates at Houndstone and Lufton and the Leonardo helicopter factory bring a commercial dimension to pest control in Yeovil, with warehouses, food businesses and manufacturing sites all needing regular monitoring.

Yeovil's hillside setting and the green spaces at Ninesprings, Wyndham Hill and along the country park bring a healthy population of wasps during summer. Wasp nest removal is one of our busiest summer jobs here, with nests found in everything from garden sheds to cavity walls and roof spaces across the town. Flea treatments are another regular call-out, often needed in rental properties between tenancies or in homes where pets have brought fleas in from the large areas of grassland around the town.
