Pest Control Mowshurst

Pest Control in Mowshurst

Mowshurst is a small area near Seal in the countryside south of Sevenoaks, where a few properties sit among the orchards, pasture and woodland that fill the gentle slopes between the North Downs and the Greensand Ridge. The area is quiet and leafy, with mature trees lining the lanes and gardens that merge into the wider countryside. Grey squirrels are common in this well-wooded setting and they regularly explore the rooftops of nearby houses, getting in through gaps under tiles or where soffit boards have lifted. We carry out squirrel control in Mowshurst and always seal the entry points once the animals are removed.

Mice are a steady year-round issue. The older properties have the usual Kentish construction with ragstone, timber and tile and the small gaps that develop over time let mice in from the gardens and fields. We deal with mouse control here and always combine treatment with proofing work to make sure the problem does not simply repeat itself a few weeks later.

Rats appear around the farms and orchards, especially in autumn when fallen fruit and crop residues draw them in. The hedgerows and ditches that border the fields give rats cover and routes and they can be present in a garden for some time before anyone notices the signs. We provide rat control and always check the wider area to find the source. Wasp nests turn up in the outbuildings and roof spaces of properties each summer and the warm, sheltered spots in old walls and under traditional roof tiles are the most popular sites. The setting around Mowshurst is lovely but the wildlife pressure is real and dealing with it early is always the best approach.
