Pest Control in Jarrow

Jarrow is a town on the south bank of the River Tyne in South Tyneside, forever associated with the Jarrow March of 1936 and the Venerable Bede who lived and worked at the monastery here in the 7th century. The town sits on rising ground above the Tyne, with the older streets around the town centre and Grange Road climbing the hillside, while the riverside area has been transformed by the development around the Tyne Tunnel and the Viking Retail Park. The residential heart of Jarrow is built from rows of Tyneside flats and traditional terraced houses, red brick properties that share walls, rooflines and drainage systems in the way that is typical of South Tyneside. This interconnected housing makes rodent control a particular challenge, as rats moving through the shared drainage pipes beneath the streets can emerge in any property along the row. Our rat control in Jarrow often starts with investigating the drains, because the Victorian and Edwardian sewer system beneath the town is where many rat problems originate.

The River Tyne and the Don Valley, running south from the river through Jarrow, provide natural corridors for rats and other wildlife. The trading estates and commercial areas along the riverside generate food waste and provide shelter and rats move between these areas and the residential streets with ease. Mice are common throughout Jarrow, found in the older terraces near the centre and in the post-war housing estates further up the hill. The green spaces around Jarrow, including Primrose nature reserve and the open ground along the Don Valley, bring wildlife into close contact with housing. Our mouse control in Jarrow is available across the town, with treatment designed to clear the current problem and reduce the risk of recurrence.

Wasps nest in the loft spaces and garden sheds of terraced houses throughout summer and the back lanes between rows of terraces often harbour nests in walls and fences. Bed bugs can be found in multi-occupancy properties and rented accommodation in the town. Our wasp removal and bed bug treatment services in Jarrow are available with fast response to help contain problems before they spread between connected properties.
