Pest Control Proofing

By Essex Pest Control and Bird Control

Pest Proofing as well as Pest Control is vital for property protection. In any property that has experienced problems with Rats or Mice, there will usually be proofing issues related to the infestation. We find this commonly when providing pest control London and Pest control Essex.

Rodents can enter a property via a number of areas, some are usually obvious and some not so obvious. By carrying out some simple yet effective proofing measures you can ensure that your property remains free or rodents long term.

Over time buildings can develop holes for a number of reasons, weather, old age, poor condition and even rodents themselves can make holes to get into a property. If holes and rodent entry points are left then overtime they will become bigger and be used more to gain entry to a building.

 

Areas to inspect for proofing issues:

• Electric meters.
• Gas meters.
• Drainage and water hoses/pipes.
• Under kitchen units.
• Under entry/exit doors.
• External vents on base of properties.
• Ventilation systems on roofs.
• Boilers and flu.

 

Materials used for proofing will range from cement, wire wool, wood, foam and filler. It is important to use the correct materials for the correct locations. Always be aware of where you are pushing wire wool into. The last thing you want to do is insert it into a hole of which you cannot see beneath only to find a electrical wire that has been chewed on by rodents (common) and has the wires exposed!

Essex Pest Control and Bird Control can ensure all of the above areas are fully proofed for your property. We provide Pest Control London, Pest Control Kent and Pest Control Essex. Wherever you are, we can keep your property pest free.

FACT: Rats (and Squirrels) will gnaw on various materials to control the size of their teeth, which constantly grow. This can not only cause holes, but also health risks as they can often gnaw on cables and wires.
