Common Pest Problems I Treat in Portsmouth
Here’s a breakdown of the most common pests I handle in the Portsmouth area, each with its own approach and treatment plan.
Rat Control in Portsmouth
Rats are a regular nuisance in Portsmouth, especially in older homes and buildings with easy access to lofts, cellars, and drains. If you're hearing scratching at night or spotting droppings, give me a ring.
I’ll carry out a thorough inspection to find how the rats are getting in. Once identified, I’ll place safe bait stations or traps, and give you practical advice on proofing your property. I also look at factors like bin storage, garden access, and drainage issues, which can all attract rats.
Mouse Control in Portsmouth
Mice can squeeze through tiny gaps and often nest in warm, hidden areas like kitchen units or airing cupboards. Signs include droppings, chewed packaging, and scratching sounds.
I use tamper-proof bait boxes and traps in strategic locations, always following BPCA best practice. I’ll also help you identify and seal entry points to stop them coming back.
Wasp Nest Removal in Portsmouth
Wasps are most active during summer and often build nests in sheds, lofts, roof spaces and wall cavities. If you’ve noticed a sudden increase in wasp activity, it’s best not to try tackling it yourself.
I use fast-acting, professional-grade treatments to kill the colony safely. If accessible, I’ll remove the nest and advise you on preventing future problems.
Ant Control in Portsmouth
Ants can be a persistent problem across Portsmouth, especially in kitchens and conservatories. They’re often drawn in through tiny cracks and can return repeatedly if the nest isn’t treated properly.
I’ll locate the nest and treat it using specialist gels, dusts or sprays that are safe for your home but deadly to ants. I’ll also check for hidden trails and give advice to stop reinfestation.
Cockroach Control in Portsmouth
Cockroaches are a serious hygiene issue and can spread fast in warm, damp areas like under sinks, behind appliances or near boiler cupboards.
I use bait gels and professional treatments to deal with all stages of the cockroach lifecycle. My approach is discreet, thorough and fully BPCA-compliant.
Flea Treatment in Portsmouth
Fleas are often brought into homes across Portsmouth by pets, visitors, or from previous occupants. They cause itching and irritation and can spread quickly.
I’ll treat your home using a combination of sprays and growth regulators to break the flea life cycle. I’ll also provide guidance on vacuuming, laundry, and pet treatment to ensure the job is done right.
Bed Bug Treatment in Portsmouth
If you’re waking up with bites or finding blood spots on the sheets, bed bugs could be the cause. They’re becoming increasingly common in Portsmouth and can spread easily.
I’ll inspect the affected areas, use professional-strength insecticides or heat treatments, and guide you through all the prep and follow-up steps to make sure they’re gone for good.
Squirrel Control in Portsmouth
Grey squirrels can get into lofts and cause serious damage to insulation, timber, and electrical wiring. They’re also noisy and disruptive.
I humanely trap and remove squirrels, then help you prevent re-entry by checking for gaps, broken tiles, and overhanging trees. I’ll also offer long-term deterrent advice.
Bird Control in Portsmouth
Pigeons and gulls often nest on rooftops and leave behind mess and noise. Their droppings are not only unsightly but also hazardous.
I offer bird proofing solutions like netting, spikes, and visual deterrents to stop birds roosting on your property. Clean-up and ongoing prevention advice also available.
