Pest Control Pembury

Pest Control in Pembury

Pembury is a large village just east of Tunbridge Wells, sitting on a ridge in the Kent High Weald with the Pembury Hospital on its northern edge and attractive countryside all around. The village has a historic core along the High Street with period buildings and modern housing estates have expanded it considerably over the decades. The mix of old and new housing, combined with the surrounding farmland and woodland, creates a varied pest picture. Rats are present in the countryside around Pembury and they move into the edges of the village along hedgerows and ditches. Properties backing onto fields or the woodland near the Pembury Walks see the most activity. We carry out rat control across Pembury year-round.

Mice are the most common pest we deal with in the residential areas. The older houses along the High Street and lower Green have aging brickwork and gaps around their original windows and doors that mice exploit. The newer estates have their own issues, typically around pipe entries, beneath garage doors and where extensions have been added. A thorough mouse control approach always combines removal with proofing, because Pembury sits in a landscape that will always have mice looking for a way in.

Wasps are a big part of our summer work in Pembury. The village has plenty of mature gardens, allotments and green spaces that provide nesting sites and the sandy Wealden soils in places are ideal for ground nests. Loft spaces, garden sheds and air bricks are all common nest locations too. We handle wasp removal throughout the season. Squirrels are another issue, especially along the roads near the Pembury Walks where mature trees give grey squirrels direct access to rooftops and into loft spaces. Squirrel control prevents the damage to wiring and insulation that quickly adds up if left.
