Pest Control in Blyth

Blyth is a coastal town in south-east Northumberland, built around its harbour and port on the estuary of the River Blyth. The town grew rapidly during the coal and shipbuilding era and its streets of Victorian and Edwardian terraces reflect that industrial past. The older parts of Blyth, around Waterloo Road, Regent Street and the streets near the harbour, are densely built with rows of brick terraces that share walls, rooflines and drainage systems. These connected properties give rats and mice easy routes to travel between houses and the aging Victorian drains beneath the streets are a known pathway for brown rats to enter properties from below. Our rat control in Blyth is one of our busiest services on the Northumberland coast and drain defects are often the root cause of recurring rat problems in the older parts of town.

The harbour and the waterfront areas of Blyth attract rats for obvious reasons. Fishing boats, food businesses and the general activity around the port create food sources, while the old quayside structures, sea walls and derelict buildings provide shelter and nesting sites. The River Blyth and the drainage channels running through the town connect the countryside to the coast, giving rats a continuous corridor from the farmland upstream right into the heart of Blyth. Mice are also common, found throughout the town in both older terraces and the newer housing estates around Newsham and the southern edge of town. Our mouse control in Blyth includes careful inspection of each property to find entry points and nesting locations.

Seagulls are a familiar sight and sound in Blyth, nesting on the flat roofs of commercial buildings around the town centre and on residential chimney stacks. During breeding season they become territorial, diving at people and raiding bins. Wasps build nests in loft spaces, garden sheds and the cavity walls of older houses each summer. Our seagull control and wasp removal services in Blyth help homeowners and businesses manage these seasonal problems with practical, lasting solutions.
