Pest and vermin control
Pest and vermin control
GREY SQUIRRELS
The "tree rat" is a rodent with the capability to kill trees by bark stripping, a keen birds' nest robber and killer of fledglings. Controlled by anti-coagulant poison baiting in species specific containers.
RABBITS
Crop grazers and damagers of regenerated trees. Controlled by shooting, ferreting and live cage trapping.
DEER
Destroyers of young trees and frayers of saplings, each species requiring a population survey prior to specialised selective control methods.
RATS
Disease-carrying rodents of sewers, rubbish dumps, untidy areas and hedgerows. Controlled by anti-coagulant poison baiting in species specific containers.
MICE
This household pest is becoming more prevalent in domestic situations and in factories and offices, where they can live happily in suspended ceilings. Apart from the hygiene concerns, mice cost UK companies tens of thousands of pounds each year by, for example, chewing through computer network cables and electrical wiring. A female mouse can produce eight to ten young every 15 days, so they are a problem which needs to be tackled as soon as they are discovered.
FOXES
This persistent killer has become adapted to urban life, enjoying feasts from dustbins and garden pets. Controlled by live catching cage traps and shooting at night.
MAGPIES
The ultimate egg stealer, sharp-eyed and an inveterate thief and taker of young birds and animals. Controlled by live catching cages.
CARRION CROWS
These "dead meat" eaters are great egg stealers and takers of young birds, rabbits, leverets and deer fawns. Controlled by live catching cage traps.

MOLES
Far from being the cuddly animal of “Wind in the Willows” fame, moles are increasingly growing as both a rural and urban pest, damaging lawns, grassed areas, orchards, paddocks and golf courses. We are proud members of the British Traditional Molecatchers Register and control them by humane trapping in the traditional manner. We have been offering this service for almost 40 years.
MINK
The most recent addition to our wildlife, a wanton killer of any species it can get its teeth into. Controlled by live catching cage traps.
INSECTS
We are bee-keepers ourselves, so we will catch swarms and transfer them to our own hives. We deal with wasp problems during July and August – including the increasing numbers of European wasps, which are three times the size of the normal British wasp.They build their nests in trees, bushes and creepers and are multi-stingers. We
also deal with flies coming in to roofspaces
of buildings for the winter. Fleas are a
year-round problem in offices and homes and are easily spread by humans – not just pets and other animals! We also offer an identification service whenever unusual insects are discovered and we have the technical expertise to carry out the appropriate control.
FERAL PIGEONS
The proverbial “flying rat” so common in towns and cities poses a health risk to humans and causes major damage to buildings. They carry 74 diseases, 28 of which are transmissible to humans, and
their droppings are corrosive and unsightly. We can deny their access to roofs and roosting areas by fitment of ultra-fine netting and prevent them from roosting
on ledges, windowsills, gutters etc with
the use of specialised translucent plastic
spikes which are virtually invisible to passers-by.
