Pest Control Manchester

Pest Control in Manchester

Manchester is one of the biggest and most diverse cities in England, a sprawling urban area that stretches from the dense city centre and its surrounding inner-city neighbourhoods out through miles of suburbs in every direction. The city centre itself has a huge number of restaurants, bars, hotels and food businesses and the waste this generates makes rat control a constant job. The Victorian sewers and service tunnels beneath the streets of the Northern Quarter, Piccadilly and Deansgate give rats a vast underground network and we handle rat control in the city centre and inner Manchester every week. The River Irwell, the Rochdale Canal and the Ashton Canal all run through the city, providing water and covered routes that rats follow between the waterside bars and the residential streets behind.

The inner-city terraces of Longsight, Rusholme, Moss Side, Hulme and Gorton were built for the Victorian cotton industry and these tightly packed streets have shared walls, cellars and aging drains that make rat and mouse problems a regular feature. Mouse problems in terraced properties can spread through a whole row and the high density of rental housing in the student areas around Fallowfield and Withington adds another layer. In the tower blocks and flatted estates of places like Beswick, Miles Platting and Wythenshawe, mice travel through service risers and pipe runs between units, making building-wide treatment the most effective approach.

Bed bugs have become a growing issue across Manchester, particularly in the student rental market around the university corridors, the city centre hotels and the areas with high tenant turnover. Wasp nests keep us busy every summer right across the city, from the terraces of Chorlton to the semis of Sale and the city centre pigeons are an ever-present problem on commercial buildings that needs ongoing management.
