Pest Control Union Street

Pest Control in Union Street

Union Street is a small settlement in the Kentish Weald, one of many named spots along the lanes between the larger towns and villages. The area is rural with farmland, hedgerows and patches of woodland shaping the landscape around a few houses and farms. The agricultural character of this part of Kent means rats are always present, moving through the fields and along the drainage ditches that cross the clay ground. They are drawn to any building that offers food, from farm stores and chicken runs to garden compost bins and bird feeders. Our rat control service handles these rural situations effectively, getting to the source of the problem rather than just dealing with individual rats.

Mice find their way into the older buildings at Union Street through the gaps and cracks that come with age. The traditional Wealden construction of timber, brick and tile provides a solid-looking exterior but the joints and junctions between different materials can develop openings over time. Mice only need a gap a few millimetres wide to get through. We provide mouse control that includes sealing these entry points so the problem does not come back every autumn.

Wasps are a predictable summer issue at rural properties. The old barns, sheds and outbuildings that are found on farms and in the gardens of country homes provide the sheltered nesting spots that wasps need. A colony in a disused outbuilding can grow very large before anyone realises it is there. We deal with wasp removal across the area. The damp clay soil also supports fleas in the undergrowth and pets that explore the fields and hedgerows can carry them indoors where they breed in warm, carpeted rooms.
