Pest Control in Consett

Consett sits high on the hills of north-west County Durham at over 200 metres above sea level, making it one of the highest towns in England. The former steel town looks out over the Derwent Valley and the moors to the west and the exposed hilltop position means the weather here is colder and windier than in the lowland towns of the region. That drives pest behaviour in a direct way. Mice and rats seek warmth earlier in the year than in more sheltered locations and the cold winters push them harder towards homes and outbuildings. Mouse control calls in Consett start building from September and stay busy right through to spring, as mice do everything they can to get out of the harsh conditions outside.

The town's industrial past has left its mark on the landscape. The former steelworks site has been regenerated with housing and business development, but the surrounding rough ground, overgrown areas and the drainage buildings and drainage that served the old industrial works still support rat numbers. Brown rats follow the streams and drainage channels down through the town and rat activity is common along these waterway corridors and in the streets that border them. The terraced housing that was built for steelworkers in the nineteenth and early twentieth century still makes up a large part of the town's residential fabric and these rows have the shared walls and connected roof spaces that allow rodents to travel between properties.

The surrounding moorland and farmland bring additional pressure from field mice and voles moving towards buildings. Wasp nests appear in roof voids, garden sheds and outbuildings through the summer, though the season tends to be shorter at this altitude. Wasp nest removal is still a regular service we provide from June through to September. Our technicians cover Consett and the surrounding communities of Leadgate, Castleside, Shotley Bridge and Blackhill.

Pest control is the management or removal of unwanted pests such as rodents, insects, birds or other wildlife that invade homes or businesses. It involves inspection, identification of pests and tailored treatment solutions to eliminate or prevent infestations. Professional pest control companies use methods like traps, bait, insecticides and preventive measures to ensure long-term protection.
The cost of pest control depends on several factors, including the type of pest, the severity of the infestation, the size of the property and the treatment required. We offer tailored solutions to suit your specific needs. Contact us for a free quote.
Professional pest control is more effective, safer and longer-lasting than DIY methods. Experts can accurately identify pests, use advanced techniques and prevent future infestations, saving you time and money in the long run.
The frequency of visits depends on your situation. For severe infestations, a pest technician may need to visit multiple times to ensure complete eradication. For ongoing prevention, quarterly or bi-annual visits are often sufficient.
The most common methods include:
  • Chemical Treatments: Using insecticides and rodenticides to eliminate pests.
  • Traps and Baits: For rodents and insects like ants or cockroaches.
  • Physical Barriers: Sealing entry points to prevent pests from entering.
  • Heat Treatments: Heat treatments are effective for bed bugs and certain insects.
  • Biological Control: Using natural predators such as falcons or solutions to control pest populations.
We handle a wide variety of pests, including:
Our pest technicians use a combination of methods, including traps, bait stations and rodenticides. They also identify entry points and advise on sealing them to prevent re-entry. Long-term solutions may include habitat modification to deter rodents from returning.
Yes, when carried out by professionals. We use products that are safe and approved for domestic use. Our team provides detailed aftercare instructions to ensure the safety of your family and pets.
Both options are available for businesses and residential customers. One-time services can suit immediate infestations, while regular contracts provide ongoing protection and help prevent future issues.
Yes, we provide treatments for silverfish and other small insects. Treatments typically involve insecticide sprays, dusts or traps and include advice on reducing dampness and humidity, which attract these pests.
Bed bugs and fleas require specialised treatments, such as heat treatments, steam applications or targeted insecticides. These methods ensure effective eradication of these persistent pests.
In most cases no preparation is required, however for some treatments preparation may include:
  • Clearing access to areas requiring treatment, such as skirting boards or cupboards.
  • Storing food, utensils and personal items safely.
  • Cleaning floors and surfaces to ensure effective application of treatments.
  • Following any specific instructions provided by your pest control specialist.
Your pest technician will advise you if any preparation is needed before your treatment. Contact us to arrange a visit.
This depends on the type of treatment. For most treatments you do not need to leave your home. For pest control services such as fumigation our technicians will advise you when it will be safe to return based on the specific products used.
When applied correctly by trained professionals, pest control chemicals are safe and approved for use in homes. We take every precaution to minimise exposure and provide guidelines to ensure your safety.
Several factors impact the cost, including:
  • Type of pest and size of the infestation
  • Size and type of property
  • Methods and products required
  • Frequency of visits
Pest controllers use targeted treatments, including gel baits, insecticides and traps. They focus on areas where cockroaches hide, such as cracks, crevices and dark, damp spaces. Proper sanitation is also crucial for effective control.
