Pest Control Pulborough

Pest Control in Pulborough

Pulborough is a village in the Arun valley in West Sussex, sitting on a sandstone ridge above the water meadows and floodplains that surround the River Arun. The village stretches along the A283 between the old settlement around the church on the hilltop and the more modern development down by the railway station and the Brooks. The RSPB Pulborough Brooks nature reserve, on the floodplain below the village, is one of the finest wetland sites in the south of England, attracting birds, wildlife and visitors in equal measure. That wetland environment also provides ideal habitat for brown rats, which thrive in the damp meadows, ditches and riverbanks of the Arun valley. Rats follow the watercourses and field boundaries up into the village and properties on the lower streets near the Brooks and along the roads towards Nutbourne and West Chiltington are among the most frequently affected. Our rat control in Pulborough understands the connection between the valley's wetland character and the rat activity that comes with it.

Mice are common in Pulborough, with the village's rural surroundings providing a constant source of field mice that move indoors as the seasons change. The older houses on the ridge, many built from local sandstone with tile-hung facades, have the kind of character that comes with age, but also the gaps and crevices that mice use to get inside. Thatched roofs, while becoming less common, are another attraction for mice and even rats looking for warm, sheltered nesting sites. Our mouse control in Pulborough treats properties across the village and the surrounding countryside, with attention to the specific entry points each building presents.

Wasps build nests in the garden sheds, barns and outbuildings around Pulborough during summer and the warm, sheltered spots created by south-facing stone walls and tile-hung buildings are popular nest sites. Squirrels from the surrounding woodland and the trees along the Arun valley move into loft spaces, where they can damage wiring and insulation. Our wasp removal and squirrel control services in Pulborough are available throughout the year, delivered by technicians who know the area and its rural pest pressures well.
