Pest Control in Craven Arms

Craven Arms is a small market town in south Shropshire, sitting at the junction of the A49 and the B4368 in the valley between Wenlock Edge and the Long Mynd. The town grew up as a railway junction in the Victorian era and retains a compact, practical character with a high street serving the surrounding farming community. Agriculture dominates the landscape around Craven Arms, with sheep and cattle farming on the surrounding hills and arable fields in the valleys. This farming environment supports rat activity year-round. Grain stores, feed bins, silage clamps and the general debris of working farms all provide food, while hedgerows, ditches and the River Onny give rats sheltered routes to travel. Our Craven Arms rat control service works across the town and the wider rural area.

The housing in Craven Arms includes Victorian terraces near the station, a range of 20th-century homes and some older stone cottages and farmhouses on the outskirts. The Victorian properties have the typical vulnerabilities of their era, with spaces under suspended floors, gaps around service entries and roof voids that mice can access. Properties on the edge of town, where gardens and paddocks meet open farmland, tend to see the heaviest mouse activity. As temperatures drop in autumn, mice from the fields move into any warm building they can find. Our mouse control in Craven Arms combines treatment with proofing to give you lasting protection.

The surrounding countryside makes Craven Arms a busy area for wasps during the summer months. Nests turn up in loft spaces, barns, stone walls and underground burrows across the valley. The Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre, on the edge of town, is a reminder of just how close the wild landscape is. Our wasp removal service in Craven Arms is available throughout the season.
