Pest Control Camer

Pest Control in Camer

Camer is a small settlement in the DA13 postcode area on the edge of Meopham in north-west Kent. Camer Park is the local green space that gives the area its identity and the country park with its rolling grassland and ancient woodland is a well-used spot for walkers and families. The houses around the park are a mix of older detached properties and some more modern homes and they all share the same proximity to open green space that attracts pests. Squirrels from the woodland in the park regularly move into roof spaces of nearby houses. The mature oaks and chestnuts give them easy access to rooftops and once inside they gnaw through cables and insulation.

Mice are a year-round issue for properties around Camer. The parkland and surrounding farmland keep a constant supply of mice close to residential areas and during the colder months they move indoors through gaps in brickwork and around pipework. The older houses tend to have more entry points but even newer properties can be affected when they are this close to countryside. Good proofing work is essential in an area like Camer because treating the mice inside the house is only half the job if the gaps they came through are still open.

Rats are present in the fields around Camer and they follow the hedgerows and fence lines into gardens. Properties with compost heaps or chicken coops are more likely to attract them because these provide easy food sources. Wasp nests are treated during the summer months in garden sheds and older roof spaces. The parkland setting makes Camer an attractive place to live but it does mean accepting that pest management is part of the deal when you share your boundaries with open countryside.
