Southend Rodent Control

Dealing with rodents is never fun—especially when your home’s design makes it easy for them to slip in unnoticed.

If your neighbors have a rodent issue, it’s not long before they start sneaking into your property, too.

Rats and mice are crafty little critters, darting around quickly and hiding in the smallest spaces.

But don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. We provide a full range of services to help eliminate your rodent problem and ensure your Southend home stays rodent-free.

Rat Control in Southend

Rats are relentless breeders, and before you know it, a minor problem can quickly turn into a major one. The younger rats need to eat constantly, and they’re not picky—they’ll scavenge for food in your garden, inside your home, or in outdoor sheds. As the weather changes, rats get even more creative, hunting for warm, dry places like garages, attics, and basements to escape the elements.

Beyond just being a nuisance, rats pose serious health risks. They’re known for spreading diseases by contaminating food and water sources. Luckily, we’ve got plenty of experience handling all kinds of rat infestations, whether it’s in your home or a business in Southend. We don’t just get rid of the rats you see; we dig deeper to find their hiding spots and prevent future invasions. We know all their favorite hideouts—in the walls, behind appliances, and around the yard—so we’ll make sure your property is completely rodent-free.

Rodent Drain Surveys in Southend

One of the main sources of rat problems in Southend properties comes from drainage issues. That’s why we offer comprehensive CCTV drainage surveys to see if rodents are getting in through damaged or faulty drains. Our specialist drain cameras help us locate any potential entry points, so we can tackle the problem at its source. Most rat issues we deal with in Southend stem from defective drains, so it’s crucial to check for this early on.

Key Signs to Look For

• If you think you have a rat problem and any of these situations sound familiar, it’s possible they’re sneaking in through your drainage system:
• Have you recently added a new extension and started hearing strange noises in the walls?
• Have you moved or installed a new manhole cover?
• Fitted a new kitchen and relocated the sink?
• Made changes to the drainage, like new toilets or pipes?
• Moved the original vertical stack pipe recently?
• Noticed more rodent noise after a rainy day?
• Had a long-term rodent issue that traps or poisons haven’t been able to solve?
• Does your house have cavity walls?

If any of this rings true, give us a call. We can send out our detection team to identify the root cause and resolve it for good.

Mice Control in Southend

Mice love settling into cozy homes—they can’t resist the warmth, nesting materials, and endless food supplies. And unlike some pests, mice tend to announce their presence. If you’re hearing tiny feet scampering around, that’s a sign they’re already multiplying. As they grow in numbers, you might start seeing them more frequently, too.

If you think you might have mice but haven’t spotted any yet, look out for small clues like shredded materials left on floors or surfaces. Mice are sneaky and resourceful—they’ll use anything from old cushions and cardboard to paper as nesting material. Check your recycling bin—they’re known to set up camp there. Though small, mice can cause big damage by chewing through clothing, damaging grains and groceries, and even spreading diseases.

But don’t worry, we have quick and effective solutions for mice, whether they’re in your home, garden, or nearby structures. We can also provide ongoing treatments to make sure they stay gone. Got a mouse issue? Reach out, and we’ll handle it before they get too comfortable!

Insect Control in Southend

Some residents in Southend may be led to believe that the removal of insects constitutes a simple DIY job…However with many insects misidentified by the untrained eye, the application of a standard insecticide bought of the supermarket shelves won’t usually do much good…and rather lead to increased resistance in the bugs that will be breeding and conquering your home at an alarming rate.

So for peace of mind that your insect problems will be dispatched effectively, call me today at Pestforce Southend.

I conduct a thorough investigation of your specific insect issue, identifying the pest in question or sending off samples to our lab should there be any doubt. I’ll then apply a lasting solution and follow up treatments where necessary till your pests are GONE for good.

Southend Bedbug Control Services

We understand the distress and inconvenience that bedbug infestations can cause, and our dedicated team is here to provide effective solutions to protect your home or business.

Bedbugs are parasitic insects that feed on human blood, and their presence can be a major source of discomfort and frustration. These tiny pests are excellent hitchhikers and can easily be transported into your property through luggage, clothing, or used furniture. Once they find their way into your living or working spaces, they can quickly multiply and become a significant problem.

At Pestforce Pest Control Southend, we offer professional and comprehensive bedbug control services tailored to your specific needs. Our team of experienced technicians is highly trained in identifying and eradicating bedbugs, ensuring that your property is thoroughly inspected and treated with utmost care.

Here's an overview of our bedbug control process:

1. Inspection: Our skilled technicians will conduct a thorough inspection of your property, including bedrooms, living areas, and furniture, to identify the extent of the infestation. This step allows us to develop a targeted treatment plan.
2. Treatment Plan: Based on the inspection findings, we will customise a treatment plan that suits your specific situation. We employ a combination of effective techniques, including chemical treatments, heat treatments, and steam treatments, to eliminate bedbugs at all stages of their lifecycle.
3. Treatment Execution: Our team will implement the chosen treatment plan, employing the most suitable methods to eradicate bedbugs from your property. We utilise safe and environmentally friendly products, ensuring the well-being of your family, pets, and the surrounding environment.
4. Follow-up Inspections: We understand the importance of ensuring long-term success in bedbug control. After the initial treatment, our team will schedule follow-up inspections to monitor the situation and address any remaining or newly emerging bedbugs. This step allows us to provide additional treatments if necessary, giving you peace of mind.
5. Prevention and Education: Bedbug control goes beyond treatment. We provide valuable advice on preventive measures you can take to minimise the risk of future infestations. Our team will guide you on proper sanitation practices, effective cleaning techniques, and ways to detect early signs of bedbug activity.

Rodents disrupting sleep at a family home in Southend, SS5 - 3rd January 2023

Pestforce Pest Control Southend received a call from a frustrated father who reports that noises in the loft are keeping his children awake at night. We arrived at this family home in Southend to investigate the noises in the loft, starting with a survey of the property. During the external survey we were able to identify 2 points of entry for rodents, the internal survey helped us to uncover droppings and gnawing, which is further evidence of mice being active in the loft space. Work commenced immediately with a 3-visit mouse treatment program. One week later we visited this home again, to check and monitor the progress of the mouse treatment program. The bait had been taken and there was no new evidence of recent activity. The baits were replenished, and the points of entry were then blocked up to prevent the mice gaining entrance again. We have left bait trays in place and will visit again next week; we are confident that this treatment will be another successful mouse treatment program and this family will be able to sleep at night without disturbance.
