Pest Control Bewdley

Pest Control in Bewdley

Bewdley is a handsome Georgian river town on the banks of the Severn in Worcestershire, with a fine stone bridge and a steep high street of listed buildings climbing away from the water. The Severn floods regularly and the low-lying streets near the bridge bear the brunt. When the water recedes, the ground stays damp for weeks and the conditions are perfect for rats. Brown rats live along the riverbanks, beneath the bridge and around the flood-prone areas of Load Street and Severnside. They move through the gardens and outbuildings of the riverside properties year-round and the older buildings in the town centre have cellars and stone foundations with gaps that have opened up over centuries. Our rat control in Bewdley takes the river flooding into account and works to protect properties between and after flood events.

Mice are common across the town. The Georgian and older buildings along the High Street and Welch Gate have thick walls, lime mortar and original timber features that mice use to move through the building unseen. The shops and restaurants in the centre add food sources that keep mouse numbers up. On the modern estates above the town, mice enter through the standard gaps around meter boxes and service entries. We carry out mouse control across Bewdley for both homes and businesses.

The Wyre Forest sits right on the western edge of Bewdley, one of the largest remaining areas of ancient woodland in England. The forest supports grey squirrels in huge numbers and the houses along the forest edge regularly deal with squirrels in their loft spaces. Our squirrel control in Bewdley removes the animals and advises on managing tree access. Wasps nest in the roof voids and stone walls of the older buildings every summer and our wasp removal service runs throughout the season.
