What we treat

Rats

Common rats live in any situation that provides food, water and shelter. The common rat is the most widespread of its species and is widely found in urban and rural areas. In homes they will live in loft spaces, wall cavities, cellars or under floorboards. In gardens, they will burrow into compost heaps and grassy banks or under sheds. They are also commonly found living in sewer systems.

Mice

The house mouse can be found in a wide range of urban and rural buildings, although it may live for part of the year outdoors. Mice live in nests, often built inside houses, especially during the winter. Nests are built wherever there is access to a source of food. Spaces under the floor and lofts are favoured places for nests, which are built out of cloth, wool and paper. House mice can cause damage by eating, gnawing and contaminating foods. They urinate constantly and carry diseases such as salmonella.

Wasps

There are several species of wasp. Some are solitary and others are social and build large nests. The most popular are the Common Wasp and the German Wasp, both of which can nest underground, in trees or in cavities, garden sheds and roof spaces. They can become a problem when they nest in and around domestic properties, especially in late summer when they are irritable with the onset of cooler weather and are feeding on over-ripe fruit juices.
