Pest Control Printstile

Pest Control in Printstile

Printstile is a tiny rural spot on the outskirts of Lamberhurst in the Kent High Weald, where the rolling countryside is a blend of hop gardens, orchards, pasture and dense woodland. Properties here tend to be well spaced, with a mix of traditional Kentish farmhouses, oast houses and more recent country homes. The character of the area makes it a lovely place to live, but the surrounding landscape also supports a healthy population of pest species. Fields and ditches provide food and travel routes for rats, while the older building stock offers plenty of ways in for mice and other small animals.

Rat activity around Printstile tends to increase from early autumn, when harvesting in nearby fields disturbs nesting sites and pushes rodents toward gardens and outbuildings. Log piles, feed stores and compost bins are often the first port of call, but it is not long before rats move into cavity walls, under decking or into garages. Our rat control technicians carry out a thorough assessment of your property and its surroundings before recommending treatment, so we deal with the root cause and not just the symptoms. We also handle regular mouse control work in this area, where field mice and house mice both cause problems in homes with older brickwork and timber frames.

During the warmer months, wasp nests are a frequent call-out in the Printstile and Lamberhurst area. The many garden sheds, barns and covered porches provide sheltered spots for queens to start building in spring and by late summer nests can be large enough to be dangerous. Our wasp removal service deals with nests safely and usually in a single visit. Grey squirrels also cause problems here, using overhanging branches to access roof spaces where they can damage wiring and insulation.
