Issues rodents pose in Howden
Damage to Howden Properties
Rats, mice, and squirrels have teeth that’ll tear through nearly any material, and your property’s interior is no exception.
Fire Risk
Rats are one of the main reasons for property fires in the UK, chewing on wires and causing potentially harmful sparks.
Disease Spreading
Rodents bring with them a variety of dangerous diseases, which they spread primarily through droppings, though bites are also a rare transmission route. As they travel through unsanitary areas like sewers, they deposit filth and disease along the way.
Reputation Damage
For a business, a rodent infestation can be catastrophic, threatening the goodwill they’ve built in the local area. Our team is passionate about keeping businesses rodent-free, using a powerful control program to identify and clear out every rodent from your property.
After eliminating the infestation, we’ll add proofing to keep them out for good. Plus, we’ll provide guidance on keeping rodents away from your space permanently.
Bird Control Howden
Pigeons and gulls are on the rise in urban areas across the UK, and Howden is experiencing this rise too. Managing pest birds is typically a job for skilled professionals, as methods like bird proofing demand specialized equipment, thorough training, and proven experience to be effective.
Take a look at our Howden services to learn about all the bird control and pest management options we offer.
Pest Bird Species in Howden
Feral Pigeons (Columba Livia)
Feral pigeons are a familiar presence in Howden, and even if they aren’t as notorious as rats, the harm they can do is substantial.
They bring diseases like E. coli and Salmonella, which can infect people via contact with droppings or by inhaling particles. They’re responsible for both roof damage and the creation of hazardous, slippery paths through their droppings.
Gulls (Laridae)
People call them seagulls, but you’ll find them all over Howden—far beyond coastal spots!
Our commercial services focus heavily on gull proofing and nest removal as part of our commercial pest control services. Our durable netting can cover spacious warehouses and office buildings, giving you sturdy defence against these persistent birds. Let us help you keep them at bay.
