Pest Control Folkestone

Pest Control in Folkestone

Folkestone is a coastal town on the English Channel in Kent, covering the CT18, CT19 and CT20 postcodes and ranging from the harbour and the Creative Quarter along the Old High Street up through the town centre to the clifftop areas at The Leas and beyond. The town has a huge range of building types. Victorian and Edwardian terraces climb the hillside, there are large period houses along the seafront roads and newer estates around Cheriton and Hawkinge on the edges. That variety means we deal with every kind of pest problem. Rats are one of the most common calls. The harbour, the streams running through Folkestone Warren and the older drains beneath the town centre all provide routes for rats to move around. Properties near the harbour arm and along Tontine Street, as well as those backing onto the railway and the Channel Tunnel terminal at Cheriton, see the most activity. Our rat control service works across the whole town and we always investigate whether defective drainage is part of the problem.

Mice are common throughout Folkestone, from the flats and shared houses in the town centre to the family homes on the slopes above. The tightly built terraces share party walls and utility routes that mice travel through and older properties often have gaps around fireplaces and service pipes that have never been sealed. We carry out mouse control across all three postcode areas and always focus on finding entry points alongside treating the mice already inside.

Seagull control is a big part of our work in Folkestone. Herring gulls nest right across the town centre rooftops and their noise, mess and aggression during the breeding season cause real problems for residents and businesses. Netting and deterrent systems fitted before nesting begins are the most reliable solution. Wasp nests in summer and bed bug treatments in the guest houses and holiday lets keep us busy through the warmer months too.
