Bath Rat Control
When you think of pests, probably the first type that comes to mind is the rat. If you have ever had rats in your home or your place of business, you will probably appreciate the importance of finding good rat control services in Bath.
One of the first signs you might have rats is when you see droppings. These droppings are generally surprisingly large, and you will probably be taken aback by them at first. That shock can be distinctly unpleasant, but it’s worth paying attention to it rather than ignoring it. Of course, you might also merely see a rat in your home, in which case you know you have them, or at least one of them.
If you see any signs of rats in the home or your place of work, call our Bath rat control team on 01225 285 098 at your earliest convenience.
Bath Mice Control
You might not have such bad feelings towards mice, but they are nonetheless not the kind of animal you really want to share your space with. Our Bath mice control team deal with mice every day, and are well adept at ensuring they stay away from your premises in the future.
As with rats, you might spot mice droppings on the floor, or you might even hear them scurrying around at night. If so, it’s time to call the experts in. Left to their own devices, mice may well soon overrun your home and nest in a number of parts of the home. That’s not something you want.
Call our Bath mice control team today on 01225 285 098 to find out more about how we can help.
Bath Wasp Nest Removal
You are no doubt very used to at least seeing wasps in your garden in the height of summer, and sometimes as late as September. But you know you need to call a Bath wasp control and wasp nest removal team if you start to see plenty of them around your garden and home - or especially if you fear they might have started nesting nearby.
Removing a wasp nest yourself could endanger you, so you should not attempt to do this. Instead, simply make sure you call our Bath wasp control services on 01225 285 098 at your earliest convenience.
Bath Bee Control
While bees are a necessary part of the ecosystem, you still don’t want them in your home any more than wasps. Finding trustworthy and reliable Bath bee control and bee’s nest removal and rehoming can be challenging, but you really need look no further than Pestforce.
Although bees are generally friendly, like wasps they will certainly not think twice about attacking you if they feel threatened. That means you should probably avoid going too near their nest, and you should certainly not try to rehome it yourself.
If you are concerned about whether the bees will be dealt with ethically, you can be guaranteed of that with our pest control services in Bath. We always endeavour to safely and humanely rehome bees, albeit while ensuring that they are unlikely to return to your premises. If you would like the help of a caring pest control team, contact Bath bee control on 01225 285 098 today to book in.
Bath Squirrel Control
Many people actually find squirrels adorable, but no matter what you personally think of them, to have them running around your home or business premises is not going to be pleasant or desirable. Without the help of a decent and trusted Bath squirrel control team, you could end up with damaged foundations to the building, or at the very least a garden that is overrun by the furry rodents.
Bear in mind that we have different treatment options available depending on the type of squirrel you have in your home, with the red squirrel being a protected species and the grey not. But in any case, you can always expect us to be humane in our handling of all pests, squirrels included.
Give our Bath squirrel control team a call today on 01225 285 098 to discuss your squirrel problem and find out more about potential solutions.
Bath Bird Control and Pigeon Proofing
Birds in the home or in business premises can be a real nuisance, not least because they often become agitated when you go near them. Good, professional Bath bird control teams know how to manage them however, so it is worth calling us to find out more if you have a bird problem. They might be roosting in your shed or outhouse, or even in your attic - wherever you have birds, if they are causing you a nuisance, you should absolutely make sure you call us as soon as possible.
We can even provide professional pigeon proofing, to ensure that no pigeon returns to your home ever again to try and nest. This is a safe and humane means of keeping birds away from your home without causing them any damage or distress, as it is a purely preventative measure.
Our Bath bird control and pigeon proofing team can help you today. Call them on 01225 285 098.
Bath Bed Bug Control
Arguably some of the more frustrating and nuisance pests are those which you can’t even see. Bath bed bug control teams are skilled at finding bed bugs, but you will probably struggle to see them with the naked eye, for they are so miniscule.
You will know that you might have bed bugs if you start to notice bumps or itchy rashes on your skin in the morning after sleeping. Likewise, your bed might be itchy to lie in at any time of day. This can be really unsettling and unpleasant, and you should have it dealt with as soon as possible.
To ensure that happens, speak to our Bath bed bug control experts on 01225 285 098.
Bath Cockroach Control
Probably the creepiest of all the creepy-crawlies, the cockroach is an unwelcome sight in any building. Our Bath cockroach control professionals are well-versed in dealing with them, but in all likelihood you will not enjoy seeing one. When you do see one, it means it’s time to do something about them - fast.
If you allow a cockroach infestation to continue, it can cause some serious problems in your home. Not least of these problems would be an increased likelihood of disease in you and your family members, and the possibility of sharing a bed with one of these critters. Yuk!
There’s nothing else for it - call our dedicated Bath cockroach control team on 01225 285 098 today and get your free quote for having those cockroaches fully managed.
Bath Flea Control
Although it is typically homes with pets that get fleas, actually they can crop up anywhere - and in many commercial premises too. Our Bath flea control professionals normally find that a home or place of business is riddled with them by the time they get there to sort it out, and that’s because they are so hard to see.
However, unlike bed bugs they are not invisible. If you look closely, you can probably see them on your pet’s fur or on the furniture dotted around the home. You might even spot the trademark jump that fleas have. If you have started itching, or you have started to notice bumps or rashes on your skin, you should definitely think about calling in the pest control services in Bath.
The earlier the better. If you are worried about a flea infestation in your home, call our Bath flea control team today on 01225 285 098 as soon as possible. You will be glad you did.
