Pest Control Underling Green

Pest Control in Underling Green

Underling Green is a small hamlet in the Kentish Weald, a few houses gathered along the lanes amid fields and hedgerows. The Low Weald landscape here is gentle and green, with heavy clay soil that stays damp through much of the year. Farming shapes the area with pasture, arable fields and the remains of orchards and hop gardens that once covered much of this part of Kent. Rats are drawn to the agricultural land and the food it provides, travelling along the hedgerows and drainage ditches that divide the fields. When they find a garden or outbuilding with accessible food they move in and from there it is a short step to the house itself. Our rat control service handles the rural rat problems found at hamlets like Underling Green.

Mice head indoors when the autumn weather arrives, finding their way through gaps in the older houses and converted farm buildings. The tile-hung and weatherboarded cottages of the Weald have a certain look that comes from their age and that age also means gaps around doors, windows and where rooflines have settled. We deliver mouse control that combines treatment with proofing to give a lasting result in a location where mice are always present in the surrounding countryside.

Wasps nest in the barns, sheds and roof spaces of properties around Underling Green each summer. The old agricultural buildings provide exactly the kind of sheltered, undisturbed nesting sites that wasps prefer. We handle wasp removal safely and can usually get to rural properties within a day or two during the peak season. The clay soil here also suits moles and their tunnelling can damage gardens and paddocks quickly during their most active months.
