Neath Port Talbot Rat Control

Rats often provoke fear and disgust when we see them. These highly intelligent, voraciously hungry disease carrying scavengers can be a persistent threat to the safety of your home or business. They are highly adept at finding food and will gnaw through virtually anything to get to it. And because they breed very quickly, they can become very difficult to control.

Our Neath Port Talbot rat control team have the knowledge and expertise to rid your home of rats. What’s more, they’ll also proof your residential or commercial property to prevent them from returning.

We deploy a range of techniques in line with your needs including traps, baits and poisons. We have years of experience dealing with all kinds of rat infestations, chasing them out of their hiding places between walls, behind appliances, in attics or on the tiniest crawl spaces.

Neath Port Talbot Mice Control

Like rats, mice are often kept as pets. They are also very intelligent and always hungry. And they’ll show no respect for your property in their quest to feed themselves. What’s more, their droppings can be poisonous, especially to young children.

That’s why our Neath Port Talbot mouse control experts are standing by to remove mice from your home or business and keep them out for good. We’re highly trained to spot the signs of a mouse presence or infestation in your home. We can also identify the many entry points through which mice may be getting into your home. We can even help you to proof your property so that mice stay gone.

Neath Port Talbot Wasp Nest Removal 

Wasps are a very common (if unwelcome) part of the British summer. From July until October they can often be found hovering in our favourite picnic spots and getting dangerously close to our icecreams. Alone they can be intimidating. But when they are numerous and aggressive, you may well fear for yourself, your staff or your family.

Fortunately, our Neath Port Talbot wasp control experts are fully equipped to remove wasps from your home or business premises and ensure that they stay gone.

Our Neath Port Talbot wasp nest removal services are extremely popular in and around summer. The Pestforce network has removed countless wasp nests from all sorts of locations up and down the country in all kinds of sizes.

Neath Port Talbot Bee Control 

We all know that bees are wonderful insects that are a pleasure to observe in and around our homes, gardens and workplaces. However, while bees are usually happy to coexist with us, they can get protective and territorial when we, our children or our pets stray too close to their nest. As such, your delight may turn to fear when you discover a bee’s nest in your Neath Port Talbot garden.

What’s more, you may feel hesitant about calling out a Neath Port Talbot Pest Control service because of our shared duty to protect our bees. After all, they are a vital part of our ecosystem.

Fortunately, at Pestforce we do all that we can to protect bees – although there are some few occasions where a “treatment” may be required. Rest assured that we will always relocate bees to a safer location when we can.

We understand the special care that is necessary when tackling a bee problem. We never destroy the nest and take every care to rehome the bee’s nest somewhere safe without harming them. Needless to say, we employ a combination of extensive knowledge and specialist protective equipment to handle bees in their nests safely and effectively.

Neath Port Talbot Squirrel Control

They may be cute and cuddly, but squirrels can be persistent and even aggressive when left unchecked. If you’re having problems with grey squirrels in Neath Port Talbot and need our Neath Port Talbot squirrel control services, call us on 01639 335 035 today.

Some are hesitant to contact us when it comes to squirrels as they believe them to be endangered. Just to clarify, red squirrels are the native UK species, and are a protected species. While we can offer some squirrel control advice to help keep the red squirrels away from your property we are limited in what we can do as they are protected.

However, the American grey squirrel has aggressively overtaken our nation’s squirrel population. We can do much more to keep these pests under control.

Neath Port Talbot Bird Control and Pigeon Proofing

Birds are usually a welcome sight near our homes and gardens. However, there are some, especially pigeons that can become a nuisance to Neath Port Talbot’s homes and businesses. Especially when they nest within your property and cause potential problems with roofing, guttering, solar panels, etc. Not to mention leaving a lot of mess for you to clean up.

Furthermore, when they get indoors, they can cause a great deal of distress and potentially cause damage to your belongings.

As responsible pest control specialists, our Neath Port Talbot bird control team know which birds are protected and how to render proper treatment for different kinds of bird ingress and infestation. We can safely remove unwanted birds and help to keep them away with effective pigeon-proofing.

Neath Port Talbot Bed Bug Control

They say “don’t let the bed bugs bite”. But this is easier said than done, especially since these tiny parasites are so difficult to detect. And their presence isn’t just limited to the bedroom. They can take up residence in any furniture or upholstery. These pests can prove a risk to your comfort and your well being, and their presence can be notoriously difficult to remove from your home by yourself.

Our Neath Port Talbot bed bug control service can give your home the professional touch it needs.

If you find that you wake up with itchy bumps and bites or find little spots of blood on your bedding, these may be signs of a bed bug infestation. Don’t let these parasites outstay their welcome.

Neath Port Talbot Cockroach Control

They’re creepy, they’re ugly and once they’re in your home, they can be extremely difficult to remove.

Cockroaches are notoriously persistent and hard to kill. And with many different species of cockroach, you may not know the best course of action to take.

Don’t live in fear of these insects any longer. Pestforce’s Neath Port Talbot cockroach control team are uniquely qualified to deal with all kinds of infestations of German cockroach, Oriental and American cockroaches.

Neath Port Talbot Flea Control

Homes, especially homes with pets can be very vulnerable to fleas. And contrary to popular belief they can last up to two weeks even without a host.

The good news is that there’s no flea infestation too big or too small for our Neath Port Talbot flea control team. If you or your pets seem to get persistent itches accompanied by speckles of what seem like grains of pepper (actually flea faeces) in your bed or carpet it’s time to call in the professionals.

Our Neath Port Talbot flea control experts can carry out an inspection of your home and advise on the best way to rid your home of these agile and determined pests once and for all.

Recent Jobs

Squirrels in Neath Port talbot, SA11 - October 2022

The cold weather has been driving the squirrels back into roofs more then ever this year and this is one of many squirrel jobs we have had this month. A gentle older lady who had quite a temper on her about these squirrels running a circus in her roof and had no doubt that back in the day she would have delt with them herself with any fire arm she could get her hands on. They were entering her dormer bungalow down the side on second story which was all boxed in the with no eve cupboards giving us access to the area where they run so we had to trap them on the outside as they entered. It took about a week to catch the mum and 4 young squirrels which had a knack for taking the bait of the traps without setting them off because they where so light. We eventually got them all and sealed up the holes so they couldn’t enter again.

Bee Hive Removal Port Talbot, SA12 - April 2022

One of the best feelings in my job is to successfully find the queen bee in a hive amongst thousands of bees and that’s what we managed to do on this job. After been called out late last summer to look at this hive we told the client it was too late in the season to successfully remove the hive so we offered to come back in April 2022 and do It then. After struggling to find the queen after we removed the hive we were about to give up and just start hoovering up the bees but she suddenly appeared and we scooped her up and put her in the nuc and before long she called most of the colony. I delivered the hive to a bee keeper after repairing the roof and sealing up the holes to make sure they don’t come back.

Mole Control in Port Talbot, SA12, 30/09/2021

A customer had been struggling to deal with a mole problem, digging up both the front and back garden of their property in Port Talbot. After trying the other alternatives the customer searched for mole control in Port Talbot and Pestforce Port Talbot appeared at the top of the list. I explained to the customer the process used in dealing with the mole problem a was able to book in the customer for the following day.

The customer was delighted to see the the mole hills were no longer vappearing in her gardens.

Squirrel control in Neath, SA10 - 01/09/2021

Customer was having problems with squirrels entering her roof space. After searching for squirrel control in Neath  online and a quick call, we were able to arrange a visit. The squirrel was entering the loft space through a fallen facia board.  The squirrel had created a nest In the attic and had been causing quite a substantial damage to the insulation and the beams. After trapping and removing an adult female and two young from the property we were able to repair where the squirrel was entering. The customer was very pleased to be squirrel free.

Rat control in Pontrhydyfen SA12, Neath Port talbot - 20/06/2021

A lovely couple called Pestforce after searching for pest control in their search engine. They explaining they had rats coming into their flat roof extension and had other pest controllers out and had not solved the problem. Normally with a flat roof we can remove some light fittings or something from the ceiling to get some bait Into it but in this case it simply was not an option due to the way everything was fitted to the walls. I was lucky enough to find the what it thought could have been two entry points on the outside so I baited right next to these points in secure Rat boxes. The bait was quickly taken and after a few days revisited the site to top up bait which was taken again. After about 9 days all noise had stopped in the flat roof so I returned sealed up the entry points and removed the Bait boxes.

Squirrel control in Neath Abbey, Neath - 12/04/2021

A customer from Neath Abbey rang Nick with a report of squirrels in the attic and causing allot of noise. Nick discovered that there were 3 squirrels living in the loft space and had caused significant damage to the beams and insulation. Nick used his experience and knowledge of squirrel trapping to remove the squirrel problem and highlight and squirrel proof the access point. 

Rats in Garden in Port Talbot, SA13 - 15/03/2021

A customer searched for Pest Control in the Port talbot area and I came up, His main concern was rats in his garden which had dug tunnels under his paving stones and they had started to move. We lifted up the paving stones and treated the rats tunnels directly before putting the paving stones back down. The customer and I also lifted some Decking boards to treat underneath them as they where clearly using this area. As Well as treating underneath the decking and paving stones I put some bait in the garage and bait boxes around garden. Over a few weeks the rats started using the bait boxes and the numbers declined and they stopped using the tunnels under the paving stones. Due to the customers surrounds it will always be hard to stop rats passing though his back yard but stopping them from living there we achieved.

Squirrels in Neath SA10 - 07/02/2021

Clients where Sick of watching Squirrels dig up their garden and almost teasing them in the process so they Called Pest Force after searching for pest control on line. They Explained the situation, I told them I would be happy to help and organised a visit. I fitted an automatic squirrel trap to the property on a tree that they liked climbing and within 36 hours I had caught and successfully put a big dent in the local squirrel population. Squirrels cause all sorts of problems to the environment and can cause huge amounts of damage in your roof space in a short space of time. So makes good sense to reduce the population in your area if able to do so.

Mice problem in Port Talbot., SA12 - 14/01/2021

Visited a client with noise coming from her ceilings on her first floor. Not sure what we were dealing with I looked through the roof to find a small evidence of mice. We put some traps up in the roof thinking the mice would travel up into this space. We caught one mouse on return and the noise had stopped. I left the traps there and over a period and had a call to say the noise had returned with a vengeance. On return I found all traps had gone off and noises where still coming. We moved to baiting as this problem had got bigger with the cold snap we had. After baiting the noise quickly reduced and with one more visits the bait stopped been taken and noises had gone completely. With this case I could not find any entry points on the occupants house but as it was not a detached property there is potential the mice where entering from another adjacent property.

Rat problem in Neath, SA13 - 10/12/2020

Rats seem to be popping up everywhere at the moment and I’m getting more and more jobs which look like they are entering though broken drains or at least coming up from the ground somewhere into a cavity. These are the most annoying jobs as its always much more rewarding if you can fix your clients problems for good without having to call in some external contractor to survey the drains. After searching Pest control port talbot a client called pest force an In this case it was pretty easy to point out the drain was broken as they were clearly entering the house from where the waste pipe was boxed in through a hole in the side of plaster board that boxed the pipe in. after lifting a drain cover less then 4m from the drain entrance we could see the rats had made an entrance under the drain cover where the plastic had broken away and had tunnels under the paving stones out the back of the house. I left what I had found with the house owner and some choices we could go down to fix the issues which included drain valves and getting contractors in to dig up and redo the drains. In the mean time I have placed bait in the house and drains to reduce the numbers of rats entering the house.

Fleas in Neath, SA10 - 15/11/2020

Client contacted me to treat Fleas as part of a required tenant agreement when moving out of their home after having pets in it. A few week earlier I dropped off a flea trap for the client to monitor for fleas before I treated this week. After three weeks of monitoring we managed to catch a few fleas on the trap which was proof enough for me to treat. So after the client had removed all of their furniture they organised me to come and treat the house for fleas.

Rats in Neath, SA11 - 10/11/2020

After treating rats in a roof space of a single story extension I explained to the client that there was a lot of waste up in roof space that encouraged rats to come up and after years of activity the rats had also left a huge amount of faeces in the roof space. As there was no insulation in roof space I suggested that we clean the waste away and clean up faeces and put insulation down. I suited up in disposable coveralls face mask and gloves before heading up to spray the Faeces and waste with a biocide and disinfectant to minimise any chance of catching disease. Cleaning the waste out only a small roof space I removed one very old water tank which I had to cut in half to get out the access hole, two big bags of building rubble 1 large bag of dust and rat faes which I swept up to remove with dustpan and brush and 5 other very full bags of junk that had been put up into the space over the years by previous tenants/owners. I also blocked holes into the main part of the building to stop access of the rats into that. This took 5 hours to complete. We are now monitoring for more rat activity before we put insulation down.

Wasps in Neath, SA9 - 01/11/2020

Still getting one or two wasps nests a week this late in the season which is great but every week I expect that was my last wasp nest only to get a call the next day for another one. Most I have seen over the weeks are definitely on the decline but still active enough to be annoying the client. On this occasion it was a wet and wild day and it was still a very active nest possibly the most active one I have seen this season. It took two treatments probably due to the weather on the first treatment but as for all my wasp nest that are located in a building it is a guaranteed treatment so it costs nothing more for the client for me to come out a second time.

Moles in Neath Port Talbot - 22/10/2020

On a very tidy front lawn a mole very seldomly made its way out of a neighbours hedge row messing up my clients lawn which understandably was a bit of annoyance after the work she took to keep it tidy. I only used one trap for this job as the mole only had one entrance to the garden. I squashed down all the runs and set the trap at the entrance point. I returned once when passing through to find no signs of activity. On my second visit if found there had been activity on the lawn but nun close to the hedge so he must have either been in deeper tunnels on the lawn when I set the trap or he has two tunnels into hedge row. I moved the trap further into the lawn. I came back a few days later to find I had been successful. Its always hard judging how many moles a client has but if you catch one and there is only 10 or less mole hills you might have the only mole or you may not. In this case I have removed the trap and pushed down all runs and hills and asked the client to contact me if any more activity occurs. So far no news of any more Moles. I once caught two moles with only 3 mole hills but have had more then 20 hills once and only caught one and activity stopped.

Wasps in Neath Port Talbot, SA10 - 08/10/2020

Called to two wasp nests in Bryncoch In the same hour at two different locations. Both nests under the clay tiles at the front of the house and treated the same way with lance and insecticide Dust. Not having to come into the house during Covid times is handy and wasps we can avoid doing this in most cases. This especially helped with an older couple that on the phone emphasized that didn’t want me to come inside as they where isolating but wanted the wasps gone. Thankfully we achieved this.

Spiders in Port Talbot, SA12 - 23/09/2020

Spider infestation in dining room of house, Tiny money spiders had been haunting clints for years and had tried many things to try and remove spiders, even called in another company in previous years. We removed all furniture from the room except for the table in the middle. Removing the curtains reviled two more tiny gaps between the window frame the client had not seen and blocked off. We then sprayed with a new product that has been released in the last 12 months which has done the job for now. Spiders are notoriously hard to get rid of and although it has only been a week the problem has gone for the first time in along time and brought some relief to the clients lets keep our fingers crossed it stays this way.
