Pest Control Gillingham

Pest Control in Gillingham

Gillingham is a large town in the Medway conurbation covering the ME7 and ME8 postcodes, stretching from the waterfront along the River Medway up through the town centre and out to the residential areas at Rainham, Wigmore and Hempstead. The town has a real mix of housing, from the Victorian and Edwardian terraces near the High Street and Chatham dockyard to the larger estates at Parkwood and Twydall. Rats are one of the most common pest problems across Gillingham. The river, the dockyard area and the older drainage beneath the terraced streets all contribute to steady rat activity. We provide rat control right across both postcodes and always check whether defective drains are playing a part when rats keep appearing inside or near a building.

Mice are a constant problem too. The tightly packed terraces near the town centre and the older houses along Watling Street and Canterbury Street share party walls and service routes that mice use to travel between properties. Even the newer estates further out aren't immune, with utility entries and gaps under doors providing access. Our mouse control service covers the whole town and always includes a check of the building exterior to identify where mice are getting in.

The density of housing in Gillingham means flea treatments are a regular job, especially in homes with pets or in rented properties between tenancies. Wasp nests keep us busy through summer, with the roof voids of the older terraces and the garden sheds on the estates being the most common nesting spots. Bed bug calls come in from the shared houses and rental properties around the town centre as well.
