Pest Control Marlpits

Pest Control in Marlpits

Marlpits is a small area near Edenbridge in the western part of the TN postcode area, set in the farmland and orchards that fill the Eden valley. The houses here are scattered along lanes between fields and the flat ground near the River Eden can get wet after heavy rain. This damp, agricultural setting is tailor-made for rats, which use the riverbanks, ditches and field edges to move around and head for buildings where food is easy to find. We deal with rat control across Marlpits and the surrounding farms.

Mice are just as common. The older properties in the area have the gaps and cracks that come with traditional construction and even newer homes are not immune where utility entries and ventilation points have not been properly sealed. Mice are active all year round and their numbers build quickly if left unchecked. We provide mouse control that combines treatment with a thorough check of the building for entry points and we seal those gaps as part of the service wherever possible.

The orchards in this part of the Eden valley attract wasps in late summer when the fruit is ripening and falling and nests appear in the barns, sheds and older buildings throughout the warmer months. We carry out wasp removal efficiently and usually in one visit. Squirrels are present along the tree lines and hedgerows and can get into roof spaces from overhanging branches. Flies can be a nuisance around the farms in warmer weather, drawn by livestock and stored feed. The pest work in a small rural area like Marlpits is driven by the farming landscape and the mix of water, crops and older buildings creates a reliable set of challenges through every season.
