Reading Rat Control
Reading rat control is essential if you want to avoid various diseases, which rats usually transmit. Rats can be very persistent and, if not dealt with, can gain access into your business or home and spread diseases, cause substantial damage and contaminate food.
They can also damage your home's insulation, chew on walls, cause fire by chewing on electric cable, and, more seriously, destroy the building structures by burrowing.
Besides, just having rats in your yard can pose a significant health risk since kids and pets visit those areas. Our rat control technicians are well experienced and have the necessary knowledge to get rid of your rat issue. We can also rat-proof your property to get rid of your rat problem permanently.
It doesn’t matter the type of infestation you are struggling with; our well-trained team will help you. We have dealt with every kind of rat infestation, from outdoor to indoor infestation.

Not only have they nibbled on your beloved grocery, but they have had the bravery to leave behind some more evidence of their presence.
Mice might look cute; however, they are dangerous and pose a severe health risk to your family. And during colder months, mice tend to look for shelter indoors, either in your home or business. Pestforce pest control can help you.
Our Reading pest control technicians are ready to help you eliminate your mice problem and keep your home and business clean.

Reading Squirrel Control
Reading squirrel control is vital if you want to protect your property. Squirrels might be small and cute; however, they can cause a homeowner substantial damage and plenty of anguish.
Squirrels can chew their way into your home during colder months in an effort to get in.
In serious cases, squirrels can cause a fire by striping the protective cover from wires. So, the best thing is to get an early intervention from our Reading squirrel control services.
There are two main types of squirrels in the UK: the red squirrel, which is native to the UK and prefers conferred forest, and the grey squirrel, which is highly adaptable and invasive. Usually, grey squirrels are considered destructive as they tend to strip away backs from trees.

Reading Bird Control and Pigeon Proofing
You might be wondering why Reading bird control is important. Birds, primarily pigeons, are common in Reading. And while a perching bird might seem fantastic at first sight, the truth is that they present a big problem.
Bird droppings have been found to carry parasites and over 50 illnesses that can be transmitted to humans. On the other hand, birds can leave behind nests that can damage property in many ways.
Getting rid of pigeons can be more complicated than it looks. This is usually because they have an inherent homing impulse that drives them to be attached to their built nesting sites.
Pigeons can harm the status of your business and can cause damage to the air conditioning units as well as any rooftop appliances.
At Pestforce Pest Control, we are well aware of the protected bird species, and we can advise you on the subject. Contact our Reading bird control crew to solve the bird problem before it becomes an infestation.
