Pest Control Mundy Bois

Pest Control in Mundy Bois

Mundy Bois is a small area near Egerton in the Low Weald of Kent, set among the orchards, fields and hedgerows that fill the gently rolling countryside south of the Greensand Ridge. The clay soil holds water well and the ditches and streams that drain the farmland create ideal conditions for brown rats. They travel along these watercourses and field margins, moving towards buildings when the fields are less productive or when weather drives them to seek shelter. We carry out rat control across Mundy Bois and the surrounding farms and the pattern of calls follows the seasons closely.

Mice are the other main rodent problem. The older farmhouses and cottages in the area have traditional Wealden construction with timber frames, tile-hanging and brickwork that develops gaps over the years. Mice use every opening they can find and the first signs are usually droppings in a kitchen cupboard or scratch marks on food packaging. We provide mouse control and always take a thorough approach to finding and blocking the entry routes, because in a place this rural the supply of mice from the surrounding fields is constant.

Wasp nests are common in the summer months, found in the barns, outbuildings and older properties that are typical of this farming area. The warm cavities inside traditional roofs and behind weatherboarding are favourite nesting spots and a nest can grow large before anyone notices it in a building that is not visited every day. We handle wasp removal quickly and can treat most nests in one visit. The orchards nearby add to the wasp pressure when the fruit starts to drop. Mundy Bois is a quiet corner of the Weald but the pest work reflects the productive farmland all around it.
