Pest Control New Street

Pest Control in New Street

New Street is a small hamlet in the TN postcode area, one of those quiet Kent settlements where a few houses and farms sit along a lane amid fields and hedgerows. Despite its name, there is nothing especially new about New Street. The properties here include traditional brick and tile cottages, weatherboarded farmhouses and the occasional barn conversion, all surrounded by the working farmland that has sustained these communities for generations. The agricultural landscape brings rats close to homes, as they feed on stored grain, spilled animal feed and the organic waste that accumulates around working farms. From there, it is a short journey into outbuildings, garages and the underside of houses. Rat control is something our technicians handle frequently in the hamlets around New Street.

Mice are equally at home in a rural setting like this. The older buildings in New Street have walls of brick and mortar that crack and erode over time and the joins between original structures and later additions are common weak points. Field mice from the surrounding land move indoors when temperatures drop in autumn, joining any house mice that may already be present. Mouse control that combines effective treatment with practical proofing is the only reliable way to solve the problem long term and our technicians will always advise on the steps needed to seal your home against future entry.

The hedgerows and gardens around New Street provide nesting habitat for wasps each summer and the undisturbed roof spaces and garden outbuildings that are common in rural hamlets are ideal locations for colonies to develop. A wasp nest that starts in May can be fully grown by August and the larger the colony, the greater the risk of stings. Our teams can deal with nests at any stage and in any location and we aim to attend the same day wherever possible. We cover New Street as part of our regular rounds through this section of the TN postcode.
