Pest Control Belmont

Pest Control in Belmont

Belmont in the London Borough of Sutton sits on the chalk downland between Banstead and Cheam, with the open spaces of Belmont Downs and the Royal Marsden Hospital forming landmarks in the area. The housing is mainly inter-war and post-war, with 1930s semis and some bungalows along the main roads and newer developments closer to the station. The chalky ground and the proximity of the downs create conditions that are slightly different from the clay areas further north. Brown rats burrow in the softer patches of soil along garden boundaries and under outbuildings and the allotments and open spaces nearby provide food and cover. Our rat control in Belmont covers the residential streets and the properties backing onto the green spaces.

Mice are a year-round issue in the 1930s houses that make up much of the area. The suspended timber floors have ventilated sub-floor voids and cracked airbricks at ground level let mice in underneath the house. From the sub-floor they work their way up through the building using pipe runs and gaps behind boxing. The newer houses near the station see mice entering around meter boxes and service penetrations. We carry out mouse control across Belmont and always include proofing work to prevent the problem returning.

The chalk downland above Belmont supports insects and wildlife in good numbers and wasps do well on the warm, south-facing slopes. Nests appear in loft spaces, garden sheds and in the ground from late April through to autumn. The open ground is also popular with dog walkers and fleas picked up during walks through the long grass become an indoor problem in summer. Our wasp removal and flea treatment services both cover the Belmont area.
