Pest Control Ferndown

Pest Control in Ferndown

Ferndown is a sizeable town just north of Bournemouth on the edge of the Dorset heathland, covering the BH22 postcode area. It has grown steadily over the decades and the housing ranges from older properties around the centre near Victoria Road to large modern estates spreading out towards Trickett's Cross, Longham and West Moors. The town is bordered by heathland, pine woodland and the River Stour to the south and that mix of habitats means pest pressure is a year-round concern. Rats are common near the watercourses and along the edges of the heathland and they move readily into gardens and outbuildings in the residential areas. Our rat control service covers all of the BH22 area and we see steady demand from both homes and businesses along Ringwood Road and the Ferndown industrial estate.

Mice are another frequent call, especially through the colder months. The bungalows and dormer bungalows that make up a large part of Ferndown's housing are often close to ground level with crawl spaces underneath and mice find their way in through air vents and gaps around pipes. We carry out mouse control across the town and always walk the outside of the property to identify entry points that need blocking.

The heathland around Ferndown supports large numbers of wasps and bees during summer and nests regularly turn up in roof spaces, garden sheds and in the ground along sandy banks. We treat plenty of wasp nests through the season. Squirrels are another pest we deal with here, with the pine trees and mature gardens giving grey squirrels easy access to rooftops. Our squirrel control work often involves roof proofing once the animals have been removed.
