Pest Control Bexhill-On-Sea

Pest Control in Bexhill-On-Sea

Bexhill-on-Sea is an Edwardian seaside town on the East Sussex coast, sitting between the chalk cliffs at Galley Hill and the low ground toward Cooden Beach. The town has a distinctive character, with wide tree-lined avenues, large detached Edwardian houses and a seafront that was purpose-built for leisure. The architecture is a mix of Edwardian villas and terraces, inter-war bungalows and modern development around the fringes. The seafront properties deal with the effects of salt air on building fabric and that accelerated weathering opens up entry points for pests faster than in towns further inland. Mice are the most frequent pest call in Bexhill-on-Sea. The Edwardian houses have sub-floor voids and original timber features that mice use to travel through the building and the bungalows along the coast road have low-level airbricks that mice walk through when the mesh corrodes. Our mouse control in Bexhill-on-Sea combines treatment with proofing to give a lasting result.

Rats are present in the town, concentrated around the commercial centre where restaurants and shops generate food waste and along the lower ground near the Sluice and Little Common where drainage runs toward the sea. The older drainage from the Victorian and Edwardian era is showing its age and cracked pipe joints give rats a path from the sewer to the surface. We handle rat control across Bexhill-on-Sea with drain investigations where the situation requires it.

Herring gulls are a seasonal headache on the coast. They nest on flat roofs and in the guttering of the taller buildings, becoming noisy and aggressive during the breeding season. Our seagull deterrent service prevents nesting with netting and other systems. Wasps are active all summer, with nests in roof spaces, behind fascia boards and in the ground along the chalky slopes at the western end of town. Our wasp removal service covers the whole town throughout the season.
