Pest Control Penhurst

Pest Control in Penhurst

Penhurst is a tiny hamlet in the Tunbridge Wells postcode area, buried deep in the East Sussex countryside between Battle and Robertsbridge. It is surrounded by the farmland, woodland and streams of the High Weald, with just a handful of properties scattered along the lanes. Pest activity here is shaped entirely by the rural landscape. Rats are a fact of life in agricultural areas and they move between the surrounding fields, farm buildings and domestic gardens along hedgerows and watercourses. Properties in spots like Penhurst attract rats when bird feeders, compost bins, chicken coops or stored feed provide them with a reliable food source. We carry out rat control across these remote rural properties in the TN area.

Mice come indoors from the surrounding countryside as the colder months set in and the older buildings around Penhurst give them no shortage of ways in. Aging brickwork, timber frames and tile roofs all develop gaps over time and mice need the smallest opening to squeeze through. Once inside they nest in wall cavities, under floorboards and in loft insulation and they breed fast. A mouse control job in a property like this means finding and sealing every entry point as well as removing the mice already inside.

Wasps nest in barns, outbuildings and loft spaces around Penhurst every summer. In a quiet, rural location these nests can grow to a good size before anyone notices the activity. We handle wasp removal and can treat the nest in a single visit. Squirrels also get into the roof spaces of properties near woodland and the damage they do to wiring and timber makes prompt action sensible.
