Pest Control Services Across Taunton
Pest problems aren’t always as straightforward as they first appear.
Treating the pest you can see may only be part of the solution.
The construction of a property, drainage system, neighbouring buildings, service penetrations, roof spaces, food sources and surrounding environment can all contribute to an infestation.
Where appropriate, my approach is to investigate:
- What pest is present?
- Where is the activity occurring?
- How could the pest be entering?
- Is there an underlying reason for the infestation?
- What treatment is appropriate?
- What can be done to reduce the chances of the problem returning?
I provide professional control and treatment for a wide range of common pests throughout Taunton.
These include:
Rats • Mice • Wasps • Hornets • Fleas • Moths • Ants • Cockroaches • Flies • Squirrels • Stored Product Insects and other crawling or flying insects.
If you’re unsure what pest you’ve found, contact me. Photographs can often help with initial identification.
Rat Control Taunton
Rats can become established around homes, businesses, gardens, bin areas, drainage systems and commercial premises.
Common evidence can include:
- Rat droppings
- Gnawing damage
- Scratching noises
- Burrows
- Smear marks
- Damaged food packaging
- Activity around drains
- Movement around external buildings or gardens
A successful rat-control programme should consider more than simply the rats visible at the time.
Where possible, I’ll investigate potential routes into the property and environmental factors contributing to the infestation.
Could Rats Be Coming Through Your Drains?
Drainage defects can sometimes provide rats with a route beneath or into buildings.
Recurring rat problems may therefore require investigation beyond conventional pest treatment.
Where the evidence suggests drainage could be involved, I can advise on further investigation including CCTV drain surveys.
Where appropriate, suitable measures such as rat blockers may also be considered to help prevent rats travelling from the drainage system towards a property.
Mouse Control Taunton
Mice are capable of entering buildings through extremely small openings.
Once inside, they may travel through:
- Kitchen units
- Wall cavities
- Service voids
- Loft spaces
- Utility rooms
- Cupboards
- Garages
- Floor voids
Signs can include droppings, gnawed packaging, scratching noises and contaminated food.
My approach is to deal with the immediate mouse activity while also looking, where accessible, for potential entry points.
If proofing is required, I’ll explain what areas should be addressed and what practical measures could reduce the risk of further activity.
Wasp Nest Removal Taunton
Wasps and hornets are one of the most common seasonal pest problems.
Nests may occur in:
- Roof spaces
- Wall cavities
- Air vents
- Garages
- Sheds
- Outbuildings
- Trees and hedges
- Underground voids
If you’ve discovered an active wasp nest, don’t block the entrance.
Wasps may attempt to find another route from an established nest, which can potentially bring them further into the building.
Contact Smyth Pest Control and I’ll advise on the appropriate treatment.
Flea Control Taunton
Fleas can quickly become established within carpets, flooring, furniture and other areas of a property.
Professional treatment involves assessing the infestation and treating the environment appropriately.
Preparation and follow-up are important, and I’ll explain exactly what needs to be done before and after treatment.
Moth Control Taunton
Carpet and clothes moths can cause damage to carpets, clothing and other natural fibres.
Successful treatment starts with identifying the pest and locating the areas where activity is occurring.
I provide professional moth-control treatments for domestic and commercial properties and can advise on the measures required to help prevent continued infestation.
Ant & Crawling Insect Control
Ants, cockroaches and other crawling insects can require very different treatments depending on the species involved.
Correct identification is therefore important.
If you’re unsure what insect you’re dealing with, send me a clear photograph or contact me for advice.
Squirrel Control Taunton
Grey squirrels can sometimes gain access to loft spaces and roof voids, where they can cause considerable damage.
Signs can include scratching or movement in roof spaces and damage to stored materials, insulation or other parts of the building.
I can investigate suspected squirrel activity and advise on appropriate control and proofing measures.
Commercial Pest Control Taunton
I also provide commercial pest control throughout Taunton.
Commercial premises can have very different pest-management requirements from domestic properties.
I can work with:
- Offices
- Shops and retail premises
- Warehouses
- Industrial units
- Landlords
- Letting agents
- Property-management companies
- Hospitality businesses
- Nurseries and educational settings
- Other commercial properties
Services can include:
- Routine pest inspections
- Rodent monitoring and control
- Insect monitoring and treatment
- Pest-risk assessments
- Proofing recommendations
- Treatment reports
- Monitoring stations
- Scheduled pest-management visits
- Emergency pest-control call-outs
Commercial pest-control programmes can be tailored around the individual site and its level of pest risk.
Who Is Smyth Pest Control?
I’m Warren Smyth, owner of Smyth Pest Control.
I’ve worked within the pest-control industry for more than 25 years, dealing with residential and commercial pest problems.
Smyth Pest Control is an independent pest-control business covering Somerset and the surrounding areas.
One of the advantages of using an independent pest controller is that the person you speak to is also the person investigating your pest problem.
You’re not being passed between a national call centre and different technicians.
I believe good pest control should look beyond simply treating what is visible.
Where possible, I want to establish:
What is causing the infestation?
How are the pests gaining access?
Is there an underlying structural or drainage issue?
What can be done to reduce the chances of the problem happening again?
That investigative approach can be particularly important with recurring rat and mouse problems.
