Wotton Under-edge

Pest Control on the Edge of the Cotswolds

Wotton-under-Edge sits beneath the Cotswold escarpment, a historic wool town of stone houses, narrow streets and surrounding farmland and woods. We provide professional pest control for homes, farms and businesses across the town and its neighbouring villages.

Careful Pest Control for a Historic Market Town

Why Pests Find Their Way Into Wotton Homes

Many of Wotton’s homes are built of Cotswold stone, with thick walls, old lime mortar, cellars and complex roof spaces. These give mice, wasps and insects plenty of hidden places to live. The wooded slopes of the escarpment and the farmland around the town support healthy populations of rats, mice and grey squirrels, which move closer to homes when the weather turns cold or the fields are harvested. Gardens on the hillside and in the valley also suffer from moles, and older properties with natural carpets and stored textiles can attract moths and carpet beetles.

Keeping Pests Out of Older Homes

In stone-built homes, small jobs make a big difference. Repoint loose mortar around pipes and windows, fit mesh over airbricks and vents, cut back branches that overhang the roof, and store bird seed and pet food in sealed metal bins. Check cellars and lofts in autumn, when mice and squirrels are most likely to move in, and call us at the first sign of droppings or noises.
