Pest Control in Grange-Over-Sands

Grange-over-Sands is a quiet Victorian seaside town on the northern shore of Morecambe Bay, sheltered by the limestone hills behind it and looking out across the vast tidal sands. The town has a genteel character with ornamental gardens, a promenade and rows of stone-built houses and guest houses climbing the hillside. That mixture of older stone buildings and a damp, mild coastal climate creates the right conditions for a range of pests. Rats are found along the shoreline and the wooded areas behind the town and they follow the streams and drains that run down from the hills through the built-up area. We deal with rat control in Grange regularly and properties near the beck and the lower streets tend to see the most activity.

Mice are common in the older stone buildings, which make up a large part of the town. The Victorian and Edwardian guest houses and hotels along the front have thick stone walls with voids that mice exploit and the size of these buildings means a mouse problem can develop for some time before it is spotted. Mouse control for the hospitality businesses in Grange is something we take seriously because any pest issue can damage a reputation that has taken years to build. Residential properties on the hillside also see mice, with field mice coming in from the limestone woodland and gardens above.

The mild climate around Grange supports wasps through the summer and nests turn up in the stone walls, roof spaces and outbuildings of properties across the town. Wasp removal from a stone wall cavity needs a different approach to a loft nest and we have the experience to handle both. The damp air from the bay also encourages woodlice, silverfish and other moisture-loving insects into homes. Grange-over-Sands is a beautiful town with a loyal community and keeping properties pest-free is part of maintaining the quality of life that makes people want to live and visit here.
