Pest Control Beacon Hill

Pest Control in Beacon Hill

Beacon Hill is a small settlement in the High Weald of East Sussex, close to the ridge road between Crowborough and Rotherfield. The area sits high up with views across the Weald and the properties are a mix of older cottages and larger houses set among woodland and open heathland. The elevated position and the surrounding ancient woodland make this a rich area for wildlife and that includes the pests that come with it. Grey squirrels are one of the main issues here, using the mature trees to reach rooftops and chewing through soffits and fascia boards to get into loft spaces. The damage to electrical wiring is a real fire risk and our squirrel control in Beacon Hill helps homeowners deal with the problem before it gets expensive.

Brown rats are present around the rural edges, working the field margins and hedgerows and moving into gardens where they find food. The older properties have thick walls with gaps where mortar has weathered and rats will probe these for entry. Mice head indoors through the colder months and in countryside locations like this the supply of mice from outside is constant. Sealing the entry points is essential, not just treating the ones already inside. We carry out rat control and mouse control across Beacon Hill with proofing as a standard part of the service.

The heathland and woodland support high numbers of insects through the summer and wasp nests appear in roof spaces, garden outbuildings and in the ground on the sandy slopes. The acidic, sandy soil of the High Weald makes ground-nesting wasps more common here than on the clay below. Our wasp removal service runs throughout the warmer months and covers the whole High Weald area.
