Pest Control Lamberhurst

Pest Control in Lamberhurst

Lamberhurst is a handsome village straddling the River Teise on the A21 between Tunbridge Wells and Hastings. The village centre has fine old buildings including the George and Dragon pub and a number of tile-hung and weatherboarded houses, while the surrounding area includes hop gardens, orchards and the famous Scotney Castle with its moat and gardens. The River Teise running through the middle of the village brings damp ground and a reliable water source for rats, which follow the riverbanks and appear in gardens and outbuildings on both sides of the valley. We handle rat control across Lamberhurst and the farms and properties along the river corridor.

The older buildings in the village give mice plenty of ways to get inside. Timber-framed cottages, converted oast houses and weatherboarded barns all have the kind of small gaps that mice can squeeze through and the surrounding farmland and orchards provide a constant supply of new mice looking for warmth and food as the seasons change. We carry out mouse control across Lamberhurst and always take time to proof the entry points alongside treatment, which is the only way to break the cycle in a village with this much character and age to its buildings.

The A21 passes straight through Lamberhurst and the traffic can sometimes bring pests into commercial premises along the main road. Wasps are a very common summer call here, nesting in the traditional roofs and old walls of the village houses as well as in the outbuildings on surrounding farms. We deal with wasp removal efficiently throughout the season. The orchards and hop gardens attract wasps too when the crops ripen and fallen fruit left on the ground will draw them in numbers. Squirrels move through the tree lines along the river and around the castle grounds and sometimes find their way into nearby roofs. Lamberhurst is a busy village for pest work because the river, the old buildings and the farmland all play their part.
