Pest Control Lower Bitchet

Pest Control in Lower Bitchet

Lower Bitchet is a small area near Seal in the countryside south of Sevenoaks, where a handful of houses and farms sit among the orchards and fields that fill the gently rolling land between the North Downs and the Greensand Ridge. The area is quiet and residential, with mature trees lining the lanes and plenty of garden space around the properties. Grey squirrels are common here, moving through the tree canopy and finding their way into roof spaces where they cause damage to wiring, insulation and stored items. We deal with squirrel control in Lower Bitchet and always seal the entry points once the squirrels are gone to prevent a repeat.

Mice are a regular problem for the houses in this area. The older properties have the usual gaps around doors, windows and pipework that mice can get through and the farmland all around provides a constant supply of new arrivals looking for food and shelter. We carry out mouse control and always investigate the full perimeter of a property to find every possible entry point, because blocking one gap while leaving another open achieves very little.

Rats appear around the farms and orchards, especially after fruit picking when fallen apples and pears attract them. The hedgerows and ditches that border the fields give rats cover and travel routes and they can go unnoticed for some time in a garden before someone spots the telltale signs. We provide rat control across this area and work thoroughly to trace back to where the activity is coming from. Wasps nest in the outbuildings, roof spaces and garden structures of properties here each summer and we handle removal quickly. Lower Bitchet is a small patch of rural Kent that shares the same pest pressures as the wider countryside around Sevenoaks.
