Pest Control Aperfield

Pest Control in Aperfield

Aperfield is a small hamlet on the southern fringe of the London Borough of Bromley, sitting on the Kent border where the suburban streets of Biggin Hill give way to open farmland. The handful of properties here are surrounded by fields and patches of woodland and that rural edge creates a very different pest picture from the built-up areas just a mile or two north. Brown rats move freely between the farms, the field margins and any domestic property that offers food or shelter. Garden compost heaps, bird feeders and pet food left out overnight are common draws. Our rat control service covers Aperfield and the surrounding rural lanes.

Mice come indoors with the cold weather, moving from the hedgerows and field edges into any building with a gap big enough to squeeze through. The older cottages and converted buildings in the area have plenty of potential entry points, from gaps around pipes to spaces beneath doors and around window frames. Field mice and house mice both turn up and while they look slightly different they cause the same problems once inside: contaminated food, chewed packaging and droppings throughout the house. Our mouse control in Aperfield includes blocking the access routes as well as treating the mice already in the building.

The wooded areas and mature hedgerows nearby provide a home for grey squirrels and properties with trees growing close to the roof are at risk of squirrels chewing in through soffits and fascia boards to nest in the loft. The damage to stored items and electrical wiring can be serious. In summer, wasps build nests in roof spaces, sheds and sometimes in the ground on grassy banks. The quiet, undisturbed nature of a place like Aperfield means nests can reach a large size before they are discovered. We provide wasp removal across the Aperfield area throughout the warmer months.
