Pest Control Langton Green

Pest Control in Langton Green

Langton Green is a village between Tunbridge Wells and Groombridge, centred on a large triangular green with a pub, a church and some attractive period houses. The area has a mix of older properties and comfortable 20th-century homes, many with good-sized gardens that back onto farmland or the edges of woodland. The proximity to Tunbridge Wells Common and the countryside beyond means there is always wildlife moving through and some of it causes problems. Grey squirrels are a regular nuisance in Langton Green, coming from the mature trees around the green and the woodland to the south. Once they get into a roof space they chew through cables and insulation and we carry out squirrel control here throughout the year.

Mice are probably the single most common pest in this village. The older houses around the green have sash windows, airbricks and gaps around pipework that give mice easy routes inside, while even the newer properties can be vulnerable if air vents or cable entry points are not properly sealed. We deal with mouse control in Langton Green on a regular basis and always take the time to track down where the mice are getting in, because proofing the entry points is the only way to stop them coming back.

Rats appear from time to time, especially around properties with large gardens that border the fields or where bird feeders and compost bins provide an easy food source. We handle rat control carefully in this kind of residential area, keeping the work discreet and thorough. Wasp nests are common in summer, building in the eaves and wall cavities of the older houses or in garden sheds and fence posts on the newer estates. The village has a pleasant, settled feel to it, but the green spaces and mature trees that make it so attractive also bring a steady stream of pest work across the seasons.
