BROWN RAT (Rattus Norvegicus) is increasing in numbers; this has lead to greater demand for our service, particularly industrial estates.
HOUSE MOUSE (Mus domesticus) an increasing problem in business premises, particularly in large towns and cities. Eradication is a problem as this species is reluctant to accept the manufactured rodenticide and a lot of ingenuity is required.
FOXES (Vulpes vulpes)
Cause considerable damage to gardens and a threat to domestic animals.
The most appropriate method of control is trapping, although other less acceptable methods are available that will depend on the location.
MINK (Mustela vision)
Mainly on waterways. Can do a lot of damage to small farm animals and wild life. Trapping is the effective method of control.
GRAY SQUIRREL (Sciurus carolinensis)
Nice to look at in the garden but when they build a dray in a loft considerable amount of damage can be done to the insulation and electrical wiring.
Again trapping is the most appropriate method of control, although rodenticide can be laid during the winter period in the effected area and garden.
MOLES (Talpa europaea)
A difficult species to control. They can be controlled with traps or gas. In a small garden they have a tendency to travel in and out of the garden not travelling along the same run into the area of treatment.
FERAL CATS (felis catus)
A problem in large industrial areas. Trapping is the only method of control.
