Pest Control Services in Ludlow
Rats, mice, squirrels, moles and insects treated at the source and proofed against coming back, with a free survey and fixed written quote before any work starts.
Rat & Mouse Control in Ludlow
Bait stations placed and monitored, entry points found and blocked, so the infestation is fully cleared rather than just quieted down.
What's included
- Full inspection to find entry points
- Bait stations placed and monitored
- Follow-up visits to confirm clearance
- Droppings, gnaw marks and nests cleared
- Entry points blocked once clear
- Advice on keeping them out
A rat or mouse problem is rarely just the ones you see. I start by working out how they're getting in, under doors, through gaps around pipework, gaps in brickwork or roof voids, because treating the symptoms without finding the access point just means they come back. Bait stations go down in the right places, checked and topped up until activity stops.
Once I'm confident the infestation is cleared, not just reduced, I go back and block up the entry points so it doesn't start again. That's the part a lot of treatments skip. For homes, farms, shops or commercial units in and around Ludlow, the process is the same: find it, treat it, seal it.
Squirrel Control in Ludlow
Grey squirrels in the loft located, removed and their entry points sealed to stop chewed wiring, insulation and joists.
What's included
- Loft and roof space inspection
- Entry points identified
- Squirrels removed
- Damage to wiring/insulation noted
- Access points sealed permanently
- Advice on preventing re-entry
Grey squirrels get into roof spaces through gaps at the eaves, damaged soffits or missing tiles, and once in they chew through wiring, insulation and joists, the damage often costs more to put right than the pest control itself. I start with a proper look round the roof space and the outside of the property to find how they're getting in.
Once removed, sealing the entry point is the priority. A squirrel that's found a way in once will keep trying, so the fix has to be permanent, proper materials, not a temporary block. I cover properties across Ludlow and the surrounding Shropshire, Herefordshire and Worcestershire area.
Mole Control in Ludlow
Molehills and tunnelling dealt with using professional trapping, protecting lawns, paddocks and grounds from further damage.
What's included
- Site inspection to map tunnel runs
- Professional trapping
- Molehills and mounds assessed
- Follow-up checks on activity
- Advice on lawn/ground repair
- Covers gardens, paddocks and grounds
Moles can wreck a lawn or a paddock fast, surface tunnelling, molehills, and roots disturbed underneath. I assess the tunnel runs across the site to work out where traps need to go, since guesswork just means missed moles and more damage while you wait.
Trapping is checked and moved as needed until activity stops. It's suited to gardens, paddocks, sports pitches or any grounds where moles are causing a problem, across Ludlow and the wider area.
Insect Treatments in Ludlow
Wasps, ants and other crawling or flying insects treated at the nest or source with the right product for the job.
What's included
- Nest or source located
- Correct treatment applied
- Wasps, ants, crawling & flying insects
- PA1 & PA6 qualified spraying
- Safe application around homes/pets
- Follow-up if activity continues
Wasp nests, ant colonies and other insect problems all need a different approach depending on the species and where they've settled, in a roof void, under decking, in a wall cavity. I identify what I'm dealing with first, then apply the right product properly and safely, holding PA1 and PA6 spraying qualifications for the work.
Whether it's a single wasp nest at the height of summer or a recurring ant problem indoors, the aim is to treat it at the source so it doesn't just move somewhere else on the property.
Pest Proofing in Ludlow
Gaps, holes and access points identified and sealed permanently, the long-term fix once a pest problem is cleared.
What's included
- Full external inspection
- Entry points identified
- Gaps and holes sealed permanently
- Suitable for rodents and insects
- Can be carried out standalone
- Follow-up check available
Treating an infestation without proofing just buys time, whatever got in once will find its way back, or something else will use the same gap. Proofing means going round the property properly, checking brickwork, pipework, roof lines, doors and vents for anything a rodent or insect could exploit, and sealing it with the right material.
It's built into every rat, mouse and squirrel job I do, but it can also be carried out on its own if you want a property checked over and secured before a problem ever starts.
Property Inspections in Ludlow
A thorough look round the property to identify what pests are present, how they're getting in, and what's needed to sort it.
What's included
- Full internal & external check
- Identification of pest species
- Entry points located
- Extent of the problem assessed
- Clear written findings
- Fixed quote for any work needed
If you're not sure what you've got, droppings, noises in the loft, damage you can't explain, I'll come out and go through the property properly to work out what's there and how it's getting in. That's the starting point for any job, so it's a service in its own right if all you need is clarity.
You get a clear picture of the problem and, if work's needed, a fixed written quote before anything goes ahead. No guesswork, no pressure.
