Pest Control in Seaham

Seaham is a coastal town in County Durham with a harbour, a long seafront and a character shaped by its mining and industrial past. The older parts of town around the harbour and Church Street have stone and brick buildings dating back to the early 19th century, while the former colliery housing at Dawdon, Parkside and New Seaham reflects the town's mining heritage. The harbour area is where pest control issues are often at their most obvious. Seagulls nest on the rooftops of the buildings overlooking the harbour and the seafront and their aggressive behaviour during nesting season causes real problems for residents and business owners. We provide seagull control in Seaham including deterrent systems to stop them nesting on rooftops where they cause the most nuisance.

The older terraced housing around the town centre and the colliery estates has the typical issues that come with properties of that age and type. Shared walls, sub-floor voids, coal cellars that have been sealed over but not properly filled and airbricks that have crumbled over the decades all let mice in. Mouse control in Seaham is one of our most common calls and the terraced housing means that a problem in one house can easily spread to the neighbours through the shared wall spaces.

Rats are drawn to the harbour area and the drains that run from the town into the sea. The older drainage systems under the town centre are showing their age and cracked pipes give rats access to the sewer network where they can move around freely. Rat problems in Seaham tend to concentrate around the lower parts of town near the harbour and the denes that cut through the coast, but they can turn up anywhere the drainage is compromised. The coastal location, the old housing types and the harbour all combine to give Seaham a pest control profile that needs constant attention.
