Steep wooded hillsides, Cotswold stone cottages, converted mills and busy market streets make Stroud a special place to live, with countryside never far from the door. We provide professional pest control across Stroud, Stonehouse, Nailsworth, Painswick, Minchinhampton and the valleys in between.
Many homes around Stroud are built of Cotswold stone, with thick walls, rubble-filled cavities and old lime mortar. Mice and wasps find their way into these walls easily, and gaps around old windows, doors and chimneys give them plenty of entry points. The valleys are dotted with former wool and cloth mills, now flats, offices and workshops, where long service voids and shared roof spaces let rodents move between units. The woods, fields and canal corridors around the town support healthy populations of rats, mice and grey squirrels, and rural homes often fill up with cluster flies looking for somewhere to spend the winter.
Old stone buildings are full of hidden gaps, and the valleys’ woodland and fields bring rodents, squirrels and flies right up to the door, especially from autumn onwards.
We check for protected wildlife such as bats before working in roof spaces, treat the problem responsibly and proof gaps with materials suited to traditional stone buildings.
Autumn is the busiest season in the valleys, as mice and squirrels move indoors and cluster flies gather in lofts. Summer brings wasp nests in stone walls and roof spaces, and spring sees ants and nesting birds become active.
