Pest Control in Martock

Martock is a large village in south Somerset, spread along the valley of the River Parrett with a fine parish church and an unusually long main street lined with Ham stone buildings. The village has a strong agricultural heritage and the surrounding land is a mix of dairy pasture, arable fields and the remnants of old orchards. This rural setting means that rodents are always nearby and the transition from countryside to village is seamless for a mouse or rat looking for shelter. Mouse activity peaks in Martock during autumn and early winter, when the harvest is finished and the fields offer less cover and food. Homes on the edges of the village, backing onto farmland and allotments, tend to notice the first signs.

The older Ham stone cottages that give Martock its character are beautiful but they were not built with modern pest-proofing in mind. Stone rubble construction naturally contains voids and original features like flagstone floors, lime mortar pointing and timber lintels all deteriorate over time to create small openings. Rats are drawn to properties near the river and the drainage ditches that feed into it, using these waterways as travel routes through the village. The combination of water access, older buildings and abundant farm-sourced food makes Martock a reliably busy area for rodent work.

Summer brings wasp nests into the picture, with the warm Ham stone walls and south-facing roof spaces providing the kind of sheltered spots that wasps seek out. Garden fruit trees and composting areas add to the attraction. Our technicians know Martock well and visit regularly, bringing the right mix of treatment and proofing advice to keep pest problems under control in this busy and attractive Somerset village.

Pest control is the management or removal of unwanted pests such as rodents, insects, birds or other wildlife that invade homes or businesses. It involves inspection, identification of pests and tailored treatment solutions to eliminate or prevent infestations. Professional pest control companies use methods like traps, bait, insecticides and preventive measures to ensure long-term protection.
The cost of pest control depends on several factors, including the type of pest, the severity of the infestation, the size of the property and the treatment required. We offer tailored solutions to suit your specific needs. Contact us for a free quote.
Professional pest control is more effective, safer and longer-lasting than DIY methods. Experts can accurately identify pests, use advanced techniques and prevent future infestations, saving you time and money in the long run.
The frequency of visits depends on your situation. For severe infestations, a pest technician may need to visit multiple times to ensure complete eradication. For ongoing prevention, quarterly or bi-annual visits are often sufficient.
The most common methods include:
  • Chemical Treatments: Using insecticides and rodenticides to eliminate pests.
  • Traps and Baits: For rodents and insects like ants or cockroaches.
  • Physical Barriers: Sealing entry points to prevent pests from entering.
  • Heat Treatments: Heat treatments are effective for bed bugs and certain insects.
  • Biological Control: Using natural predators such as falcons or solutions to control pest populations.
We handle a wide variety of pests, including:
Our pest technicians use a combination of methods, including traps, bait stations and rodenticides. They also identify entry points and advise on sealing them to prevent re-entry. Long-term solutions may include habitat modification to deter rodents from returning.

Both options are available for businesses and residential customers. One-time services can suit immediate infestations, while regular contracts provide ongoing protection and help prevent future issues.
Yes, we provide treatments for silverfish and other small insects. Treatments typically involve insecticide sprays, dusts or traps and include advice on reducing dampness and humidity, which attract these pests.
Bed bugs and fleas require specialised treatments, such as heat treatments, steam applications or targeted insecticides. These methods ensure effective eradication of these persistent pests.
In most cases no preparation is required, however for some treatments preparation may include:
  • Clearing access to areas requiring treatment, such as skirting boards or cupboards.
  • Storing food, utensils and personal items safely.
  • Cleaning floors and surfaces to ensure effective application of treatments.
  • Following any specific instructions provided by your pest control specialist.
Your pest technician will advise you if any preparation is needed before your treatment. Contact us to arrange a visit.
This depends on the type of treatment. For most treatments you do not need to leave your home. For pest control services such as fumigation our technicians will advise you when it will be safe to return based on the specific products used.
When applied correctly by trained professionals, pest control chemicals are safe and approved for use in homes. We take every precaution to minimise exposure and provide guidelines to ensure your safety.
Several factors impact the cost, including:
  • Type of pest and size of the infestation
  • Size and type of property
  • Methods and products required
  • Frequency of visits
Pest controllers use targeted treatments, including gel baits, insecticides and traps. They focus on areas where cockroaches hide, such as cracks, crevices and dark, damp spaces. Proper sanitation is also crucial for effective control.
