Pest Control Northbridge Street

Pest Control in Northbridge Street

Northbridge Street is a small settlement near Robertsbridge in East Sussex, sitting in the valley of the River Rother. It is a handful of houses and farm buildings strung along the road, with the river running close by and farmland stretching out on all sides. That landscape makes rat activity almost inevitable. The Rother provides water, the fields provide food and the barns and outbuildings in the area provide shelter. Rats move freely between all of these and when they find their way into domestic gardens or buildings it is usually because something is drawing them in. We handle rat control in these rural corners of the Tunbridge Wells area and the riverside locations always need the most attention.

Mice follow similar patterns, moving from the surrounding countryside into houses as the weather cools. The properties around Northbridge Street include some older cottages and farmhouses built with materials and methods that leave plenty of access points. Stone walls, timber frames and old clay tile roofs all develop gaps over the years and a mouse needs barely any space to get through. A mouse problem in a building like this often requires a careful survey of the whole exterior to find every possible entry point before sealing them up.

Wasps nest in the outbuildings, barns and roof spaces of properties around Northbridge Street every summer. In a quiet rural spot like this, nests can grow to a large size before anyone realises they are there. We deal with wasp removal across the area and can usually treat the nest in a single visit. The woodland and hedgerows also support squirrels and grey squirrels occasionally get into the roof spaces of homes here, causing damage to insulation and wiring that makes prompt treatment worthwhile.
