Pest Control in Winscombe

Winscombe is a large village nestled in a valley between the Mendip Hills and the Wavering Down ridge in North Somerset. The village centre around Woodborough Road has a mix of older stone houses and 1930s properties while newer estates have filled in the gaps along the edges. Winscombe Hill rises steeply to the south and is covered in dense woodland that comes right down to the backs of gardens. That closeness to woodland and open countryside has a real impact on the pest problems we see here. Rats are the most common call we get. The farmland around the village and the stream that runs through the valley both support rat numbers and they move into houses through gaps at ground level. The older stone properties in the centre have worn mortar joints that rats can gnaw through and on the newer estates they get in where service pipes enter the building. Rat control in Winscombe means sorting the access points as well as dealing with the rats already inside.

Grey squirrels are a big problem in Winscombe because of the woodland on Winscombe Hill. They get onto roofs from overhanging branches and chew through fascia boards and tiles to get into lofts. Once inside they gnaw wiring and rip up insulation. Squirrel control in Winscombe involves humane trapping and then proofing the entry points so they stay out. Mice are common in both the older and newer homes with autumn and winter being the busiest period as field mice head indoors for warmth.

Mouse control in Winscombe is straightforward work when you know where they are getting in and we always check every possible entry point. Wasps build nests in roof spaces and garden sheds across the village every summer and the south-facing eaves of the houses along Woodborough Road are a regular spot. We cover this part of North Somerset and can usually get to you the same day.

Pest control is the management or removal of unwanted pests such as rodents, insects, birds or other wildlife that invade homes or businesses. It involves inspection, identification of pests and tailored treatment solutions to eliminate or prevent infestations. Professional pest control companies use methods like traps, bait, insecticides and preventive measures to ensure long-term protection.
The cost of pest control depends on several factors, including the type of pest, the severity of the infestation, the size of the property and the treatment required. We offer tailored solutions to suit your specific needs. Contact us for a free quote.
Professional pest control is more effective, safer and longer-lasting than DIY methods. Experts can accurately identify pests, use advanced techniques and prevent future infestations, saving you time and money in the long run.
The frequency of visits depends on your situation. For severe infestations, a pest technician may need to visit multiple times to ensure complete eradication. For ongoing prevention, quarterly or bi-annual visits are often sufficient.
The most common methods include:
  • Chemical Treatments: Using insecticides and rodenticides to eliminate pests.
  • Traps and Baits: For rodents and insects like ants or cockroaches.
  • Physical Barriers: Sealing entry points to prevent pests from entering.
  • Heat Treatments: Heat treatments are effective for bed bugs and certain insects.
  • Biological Control: Using natural predators such as falcons or solutions to control pest populations.
We handle a wide variety of pests, including:
Our pest technicians use a combination of methods, including traps, bait stations and rodenticides. They also identify entry points and advise on sealing them to prevent re-entry. Long-term solutions may include habitat modification to deter rodents from returning.

Yes, we provide treatments for silverfish and other small insects. Treatments typically involve insecticide sprays, dusts or traps and include advice on reducing dampness and humidity, which attract these pests.
Bed bugs and fleas require specialised treatments, such as heat treatments, steam applications or targeted insecticides. These methods ensure effective eradication of these persistent pests.
In most cases no preparation is required, however for some treatments preparation may include:
  • Clearing access to areas requiring treatment, such as skirting boards or cupboards.
  • Storing food, utensils and personal items safely.
  • Cleaning floors and surfaces to ensure effective application of treatments.
  • Following any specific instructions provided by your pest control specialist.
Your pest technician will advise you if any preparation is needed before your treatment. Contact us to arrange a visit.
This depends on the type of treatment. For most treatments you do not need to leave your home. For pest control services such as fumigation our technicians will advise you when it will be safe to return based on the specific products used.
When applied correctly by trained professionals, pest control chemicals are safe and approved for use in homes. We take every precaution to minimise exposure and provide guidelines to ensure your safety.
Several factors impact the cost, including:
  • Type of pest and size of the infestation
  • Size and type of property
  • Methods and products required
  • Frequency of visits
