Pest Control in Corbridge

Corbridge is an attractive village on the north bank of the River Tyne in the Tyne valley, just east of Hexham. The village has a long history stretching back to Roman times, when the fort at Corstopitum guarded the bridge over the Tyne and today it is one of the most desirable places to live in Northumberland. The main street is lined with stone-built houses, independent shops, pubs and restaurants and the residential streets branching off it are a mix of Georgian townhouses, Victorian villas and more modern family homes. The quality of the buildings is high, but even well-maintained stone properties develop gaps over time where mortar weathers, lead flashing lifts and roof slates shift. These are the openings that mice use to get inside and our mouse control in Corbridge regularly treats the handsome properties along the main street and the lanes running down towards the river.

The River Tyne is the dominant feature of the landscape here, flowing wide and fast through a wooded valley that is beautiful to look at but also provides a natural highway for brown rats. The riverbanks, with their overgrown vegetation and tree roots, offer rats shelter, water and food and from here they move up into gardens and properties on the lower streets of the village. The allotments and agricultural land on the edges of Corbridge add to the attraction for rodents. Our rat control in Corbridge covers the village and the surrounding farms and country properties along the Tyne valley.

Grey squirrels are common in Corbridge, moving between the mature trees in gardens and along the riverbank and entering loft spaces through gaps in soffits and fascias. Wasps nest in the roof spaces and stone walls of properties across the village each summer and the warm, sheltered character of the Tyne valley seems to encourage large colonies. Our squirrel control and wasp removal services in Corbridge are delivered by technicians who appreciate the need for careful work in and around period properties.
