Rat Control Kent
Our specialists in rat control in Kent are fully certified and experienced in rodent control and emergency rat removal Kent for domestic and commercial properties. We treat rat infestations using a variety of methods depending on the level of infestation and their behavioural patterns.
The common rat has coarse, reddish/brown fur on its back and a light belly, but colour can vary. An adult rat has body length of approximately up to 19 centimetres plus a scaly tail of up to 12 centimetres. They have a blunt nose and small ears.
Common rats live where they can find food, water and shelter. In homes, they can live in loft spaces, wall cavities, cellars or under floorboards although they do not normally live in occupied homes.
If you think you have rats, our fully trained pest control technicians will give you advice, survey your home and provide treatment using a safe modern rodenticide approved for use in occupied properties. Although successful treatment is usually achieved over 2-4 days, follow up visits will be made to make sure the treatment has worked. Our rat specialist will tell you if further treatment is needed.
Our rat specialists are able to locate any holes in the property that may be used by pests, but do not carry out repairs. We can also make provisions to block these areas to prevent the rats returning.
Mouse Control Kent
Mice live in dark, quiet places such as under floorboards, behind wall panelling and in roof spaces and can climb rough surfaces, jump and even swim if necessary.
Mice tend to come out in late evening, and therefore are rarely seen, however you may notice any of the following signs of mouse activity: a musty smell - left from the urine, droppings, holes gnawed in food wrapping, boxes and bags.
The most effective form of mouse control is to remove access to their sources of food. This can be achieved by sealing holes larger than 2-3 millimetres, keeping food in tightly fitting containers, cleaning up food spills and keeping rubbish in bins with tightly fitting lids.
We will survey your property to confirm the nature and extent of your mouse problem, identify potential sources of food, identify where the mice are coming from and tell you how to proof these. We will then implement our recommended treatments which can take up to 14 days to completely eradicate the mouse problem.
Fox Management Kent
Why Do We Need To Control Foxes?
Fox control is becoming a necessity within urban areas, foxes have adapted to living alongside man in built up areas and their numbers are spiralling out of control. The ways we live have helped to accelerate the rate of reproduction in the urban fox. This is down to large volumes of food waste not being stored securely, patios/sheds etc being built giving foxes a safe, warm and dry area to burrow under.
Fox activity poses little risk to human health, they also prove little risk to cats or dogs. Smaller pets like rabbits or guinea pigs must be kept in fox proof cages otherwise foxes can and will attack them.
They will however cause damage to structures when burrowing under them, their faeces and urine carry a very pungent distasteful smell that can linger for many days around your garden/bin area.
Feeding foxes is also, ironically one of the main reasons for needing to control their numbers, this extra food source (that they do not need) is helping to drive the number out of control. It is also making them become used to close encounters with human, we mistake this from them becoming ‘tame’ and this is often when accidents and attack may happen as foxes will defend themselves when they feel threatened.
In general foxes are more of a nuisance than a problem and our expert technicians will instigate all possible non-lethal methods of control to resolve the issue. If this is not possible then we ensure the foxes are removed in the most discreet and humane ways possible.
Squirrel Control Kent
Effective Solutions for Grey Squirrel Problems
Grey squirrels are not native to Britain - they were introduced to this country from America between 1876 and 1929. Opinion differs as to whether grey squirrels were responsible for the disappearance of red squirrels or whether red squirrels disappeared through loss of habitat and disease and grey squirrels simply filled the empty space.
Grey squirrels are most likely to cause problems when they gain access to roof spaces via building defects. Once they have gained access squirrels can cause damage to roof timbers, electrical wiring and plumbing.
Grey squirrels are serious pests to forestry plantations where they cause damage by stripping bark from tree trunks. Problems can also be caused to gardeners, allotment holders and market gardeners, as grey squirrels will take cereals, fruit and vegetables.
Cockroach Control Kent
Cockroaches are large insects which range in size from 10-23 millimetres they have a long antennae and 2 pairs of wings. Common in the UK, the German Cockroach is dark brown and smaller than the Oriental cockroach, which is black in colour. The German variety can climb smooth surfaces.
Cockroaches carry food poisoning germs on their bodies and are responsible for the spread of dysentery and gastroenteritis. They will feed on almost anything including faecal matter. Food contamination will occur when the insect comes in to contact with food, food preparation surfaces or through faecal contamination of foodstuffs.
If you think you have a cockroach infestation, our fully trained pest control technicians will give you advice, survey your property and provide treatment using a safe modern rodenticide approved for use in occupied properties.
If cockroaches are causing havoc in your home or business contact DB Pest Management (Kent Branch) today.
