Pest Control Tipton

Pest Control in Tipton

Tipton is a proper Black Country town, shaped by its industrial past and still carrying the marks of it in its buildings and layout. The old canal network runs right through the middle, with the Owen Street area and the New Road district built around what was once a hub of ironworks and factories. Many of those industrial buildings are gone now, replaced by modern housing and retail parks, but the canals remain and they bring rats. The waterways around Factory Junction and Tipton Green give brown rats a reliable corridor to move between feeding sites and bins behind the takeaways and shops along Owen Street keep them well fed. Rat control in Tipton is one of our most common calls across the DY postcode.

The housing in Tipton covers a wide range. There are rows of Victorian and Edwardian terraces around Ocker Hill and Great Bridge that have the sort of older construction where mice find their way in through crumbling airbricks and gaps beneath floorboards. Then there are the council-built estates from the 1950s and 1960s around Princes End and Toll End where flat roofs and cavity walls create different entry points. Mouse problems run right through the autumn and winter months in these areas, as house mice look for warmth and easy food sources. The Jubilee Park area and the green spaces around Tipton Cemetery can also harbour squirrels that occasionally make their way into roof spaces of nearby homes.

Summer months bring a steady stream of wasp nest calls from across Tipton, with garden sheds, garage roofs and loft spaces all being favourite nesting spots. The mix of older and newer buildings means there are plenty of voids and sheltered corners for queens to start building in spring. Fleas can also be an issue in the terraced streets where cats move freely between houses and gardens and flea treatments are something we handle regularly during the warmer months.
