Pest Control Fareham

Pest Control in Fareham

Fareham is a Hampshire town at the head of an inlet of Portsmouth Harbour, with a historic centre of Georgian and Victorian buildings and large residential areas spreading out across the surrounding countryside. The town has grown steadily, absorbing villages like Portchester, Titchfield and Stubbington and the mix of period housing, post-war estates and modern developments creates a wide range of pest challenges. The waterfront and the creek running through the town centre are the main drivers of rat activity. Rats follow the tidal creek and the drainage system and properties near the water or along the older streets with Victorian drains see the most problems. The food waste from the restaurants and shops in the town centre adds to the attraction. We handle rat control right across Fareham, from the waterfront to the estates on the outskirts.

Mice are common in the older housing around the town centre and in the Victorian and Edwardian terraces along the main roads. These properties have the cavity walls, suspended floors and aging brickwork that mice exploit and mouse control is our most frequent residential call from the town. The newer estates tend to be better sealed but still develop problems where there are gaps around service entries and poorly fitted doors. The surrounding countryside brings field mice into the estates on the edges of the built-up area.

Seagulls are becoming more of an issue in Fareham as herring gulls move inland from the coast to nest on flat rooftops. Seagull deterrents fitted before the nesting season are the best solution. Wasp nests are common across the whole town during summer and the mild Hampshire climate means the wasp season can extend well into October. We respond to calls quickly throughout the season.
