Pest Control in Clevedon

Clevedon is a Victorian seaside town on the North Somerset coast looking out across the Severn Estuary towards Wales. The seafront with its restored pier and promenade is lined with large Victorian and Edwardian villas and the town climbs up the hillside behind with a mix of older terraces and newer housing estates. The coastal location has a direct effect on the pest problems we deal with here. Seagulls are a major issue in Clevedon. Herring gulls nest on the flat roofs of the seafront buildings and on the chimneys and ridges of houses across the town. They are loud and territorial during nesting season and their droppings damage stonework and block gutters. Seagull control in Clevedon involves fitting deterrent systems like spikes and netting to keep them from landing and nesting on your property.

Rats are the other big problem. The drainage in the older parts of Clevedon dates back to the Victorian era and cracked underground pipes give rats a route up from the sewers into houses. The seafront and Hill Road areas see more rat activity than most and we deal with rat control in Clevedon all year round. Properties near Clevedon Lake and the rhynes that drain the levels to the east also see more rats because of the nearby water. Mice are common in the Victorian terraces along Alexandra Road and Old Church Road where the buildings are tightly packed and have plenty of gaps around pipework and under floors.

Mouse control in Clevedon usually involves proofing as well as treatment because in the older houses there are always multiple entry points. Wasps nest in the eaves and soffits of the big Victorian houses every summer and the south-facing walls along the seafront are a favourite spot. We cover Clevedon regularly and can usually attend the same day.
