Pest Control in Malpas

Malpas is a historic small town in the north-west corner of Shropshire, close to the Cheshire and Welsh borders. The town sits on a ridge overlooking the surrounding lowland farmland, with St Oswald's Church commanding the high point and a cluster of timber-framed and Georgian buildings along the high street below. Malpas has been a market town for centuries and retains a calm, prosperous feel. The farming landscape that surrounds it on all sides is the main influence on local pest activity. Cattle and arable farming dominate the lowlands and the grain stores, silage clamps, barns and feed bins associated with these farms support rat numbers throughout the year. The network of streams, ditches and hedgerows criss-crossing the farmland provides cover and travel routes for rodents to move into the town. Our Malpas rat control service covers the town and the surrounding farms and hamlets.

The older buildings in Malpas are some of the most attractive in this part of the Welsh Marches. Timber-framed houses, brick-built Georgian properties and stone cottages line the high street and surrounding lanes. These period buildings develop gaps in their fabric over time and mice are experts at finding them. Spaces around old window frames, beneath doors, where timbers have shifted and around service entries all provide access. The more modern housing on the edges of town is less vulnerable but not immune, especially where gardens adjoin open farmland. Our mouse control in Malpas includes thorough proofing to prevent repeat problems.

Wasps are a regular summer concern across Malpas and the surrounding countryside. Loft spaces, garden sheds, old barns and stone walls are common nesting sites. Our wasp removal service in Malpas treats nests wherever they are found.
