Pest Control Tong

Pest Control in Tong

Tong is a tiny hamlet in the Kentish countryside, a scattering of houses and farms along the lanes between the larger villages. The landscape is agricultural with fields, hedgerows and small areas of woodland typical of the Weald. Properties are well spread out and the rural setting means pests have plenty of habitat in the surrounding countryside. Rats are drawn to the farms and any residential property that offers food. They travel through the hedgerows and along drainage ditches, moving between the open fields and buildings. A chicken coop, compost heap or uncovered pet food bowl is enough to bring them right up to the house. Our rat control service covers Tong and the surrounding rural lanes.

Mice are a predictable problem in the older buildings around Tong. The farmhouses and cottages have gaps in the brickwork, around doors and windows and where the roof meets the walls. These openings have been there for decades or longer and mice have been using them just as long. We deliver mouse control that includes proofing work to seal these gaps, because in a rural location there will always be mice nearby and the only way to keep them out of the house is to close off the routes they use.

Wasps are a regular summer issue at the rural properties around Tong. The old barns, sheds and outbuildings provide sheltered nesting sites and a colony tucked into the corner of a barn can grow to thousands before anyone realises it is there. We handle wasp removal across the area. The heavy Wealden clay also supports moles, which can be a real nuisance in the larger gardens and paddocks, throwing up mounds of earth across lawns that have taken years to establish.
