Pest Control in Liverpool

Liverpool is one of the great cities of the north of England, a sprawling port city on the Mersey estuary with a huge range of housing, from the dense Victorian and Georgian terraces of the inner city to the large council estates and modern suburbs stretching out to Crosby, Huyton and Speke. The older parts of the city around Toxteth, Anfield, Everton and Kirkdale have some of the most tightly packed terraced housing in the country, with shared walls, cellars and Victorian drains that create perfect conditions for rats. A cracked drain under one terrace can send rats into a whole row of houses and we deal with rat control across the inner city throughout the year. The commercial areas around Bold Street, the city centre and the docks add food waste to the equation, keeping rat numbers high.

The River Mersey, the Leeds and Liverpool Canal and the network of streams and culverts running through the city all contribute to the rodent picture. Properties near the canal at Aintree, Bootle and Litherland sit in prime rat territory and the waterfront from the Pier Head down to the Festival Gardens has a long history of rat activity. Mice are equally common across Liverpool, getting into terraced houses through air bricks and gaps in brickwork and into flats through service risers and shared utility spaces. Mouse problems in high-rise and medium-rise blocks are especially challenging because mice can move between floors through pipe runs and cable channels.

Bed bugs have been a growing issue across Liverpool, particularly in the areas with a high density of rental properties, HMOs and hostels. The city's busy hospitality sector and student housing around the universities also contribute. Wasp nests keep us busy every summer right across the city, from the terraces of Walton to the semis of Woolton and seagull problems along the waterfront and in the city centre are a year-round nuisance.
