Pest Control in Brentwood

Brentwood is a prosperous commuter town in south-west Essex sitting on the old coaching route between London and Colchester. The High Street has a good mix of shops and restaurants and the town is known for its independent schools and leafy residential streets. Housing ranges from Georgian and Victorian properties along the High Street and Kings Road to large Edwardian and 1930s detached houses in Shenfield and Hutton and modern developments closer to the A12. The town is surrounded by green belt and that proximity to open countryside affects the pest calls we get. Rats come in from the farmland and golf courses that border the town and the older drains in the centre of Brentwood give them routes into buildings. Rat control in Brentwood is a year-round service and we often find that a drain survey reveals the root cause of the problem.

Mice are common across the town. The older properties along the High Street and in the streets around the cathedral have gaps in the brickwork and around original pipework that mice exploit. The larger detached houses in Shenfield and Hutton are not immune either because mice will find any small gap around a pipe or cable entry. Mouse control in Brentwood involves proofing as well as treatment to make sure the problem is sorted properly. The autumn months are the busiest time as mice move indoors but we deal with them at any time of year.

Squirrels are a regular problem in Brentwood. The mature trees in the big gardens and along the avenues in Shenfield give grey squirrels direct routes onto rooftops and they chew through fascia boards to get into lofts. Squirrel control in Brentwood involves humane trapping and sealing the entry points. Wasps build nests in roof spaces and garden sheds across the town every summer and the sandy Essex soil suits underground nests too. We cover Brentwood and the surrounding area regularly and can usually attend the same day.
