Pest Control in Guestling Thorn

Guestling Thorn is a small hamlet close to Guestling Green in East Sussex, sitting in the gently rolling countryside between Hastings and the Romney Marsh. The hamlet takes its name from the thorn hedges that once marked the boundaries of the medieval parish and hedgerows remain a defining feature of the landscape today. These hedges, along with the ditches and streams that border the fields, provide ideal cover and travel routes for rats. The agricultural land around Guestling Thorn supports mixed farming and wherever livestock or grain are present, rodent activity follows. Rat control is one of the most common services we provide in this part of East Sussex.

The properties in Guestling Thorn range from old farmhouses and cottages to converted outbuildings and the traditional construction materials used in these homes, including local sandstone, brick, timber and clay tiles, create plenty of potential entry points for mice. A gap beneath a door, a crack in old mortar or an uncapped pipe entry is all a mouse needs to gain access. Once inside, mice can breed rapidly and what seems like a small problem can grow if not addressed promptly. Our technicians provide mouse control in Guestling Thorn that includes identification of entry points and advice on how to proof them.
