Pest Control in Hexham

Hexham is a handsome market town in the Tyne valley, widely regarded as one of the finest small towns in England. The town sits on a terrace above the River Tyne where the North and South Tyne meet and its centrepiece is the magnificent Hexham Abbey, founded in the 7th century. The streets around the Market Place, Fore Street and Beaumont Street are lined with stone buildings of real character, including medieval structures, Georgian townhouses and Victorian shop fronts. The Old Gaol, one of the earliest purpose-built prisons in England, adds to the town's historic appeal. These older buildings, while beautiful, present the kind of pest challenges that come with centuries of wear on stone and mortar. Mice find their way into wall cavities, under floorboards and into roof spaces through gaps that have developed gradually over generations. Our mouse control in Hexham works carefully in and around the town's period properties, dealing with mice without causing damage to historic fabric.

The River Tyne is a defining presence in Hexham and the wooded banks and water meadows below the town are attractive to look at but also serve as a corridor for brown rats. The rivers bring rats from the farming country upstream and they appear in gardens and properties on the lower streets of the town closest to the valley floor. The livestock market at Hexham, one of the largest in England, brings agricultural activity right into the edge of town and contributes to the rodent population in the surrounding area. Our rat control in Hexham covers the town itself and the farms and rural properties scattered across the Tyne valley.

Grey squirrels from the parkland and mature gardens around the Abbey and Sele Park enter loft spaces in nearby properties, where they can damage insulation and chew through wiring. Wasps are common during the warmer months, building nests in the stone walls, outbuildings and roof spaces of properties throughout the town. Our squirrel control and wasp removal services in Hexham are delivered by local technicians who understand the town and the care required when working with its many older and listed buildings.
