Pest Control Sherwood Park

Pest Control in Sherwood Park

Sherwood Park is a modern residential area in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, built on the southern side of the town during the latter half of the 20th century. The estate is made up mainly of family houses, bungalows and flats from the 1960s, 70s and 80s, set along curved roads with modest front gardens and larger rear plots. The area sits between the built-up town centre and the open countryside of the High Weald and this position on the urban-rural boundary means that pest species have easy access to the estate from the surrounding fields, hedgerows and patches of woodland.

Rat problems in Sherwood Park are something we handle regularly. Brown rats move in from the nearby countryside and follow garden fence lines, overgrown areas and drainage runs through the estate. The mid-to-late 20th century housing can have issues with ageing underground drainage, where cracked pipes and displaced joints give rats access to the sewer network. From there, they can emerge through damaged inspection chambers or broken drain connections inside the building. Our rat control service includes drain investigations where needed, along with a full property survey and targeted treatment. Mice are also common across the estate and our mouse control work covers assessment, treatment and proofing.

Wasps build nests in the roof voids, behind fascia boards and inside garden sheds across Sherwood Park every summer. The housing from this era often has gaps in the soffit boards and ventilation panels that give wasps an easy route into the roof space. Our wasp removal team attends promptly during the busy season and usually deals with a nest in one visit. We also offer flea treatment for pet-owning households, where warm carpeted rooms can allow flea numbers to build up quickly in summer.
