Other Pests

Fully Qualified Pest Control Services in CT Postcodes.

At Canterbury Pest Control, as full servicing members of the BPCA we offer highly effective pest control services in Canterbury and across the CT postcode area. 

As well as the main types of pests we deal with, here are some of the other pests we are commonly called out for.

Garden Ants

Ants are drawn to sweet, sugary foods, making kitchens a prime destination. Having an infestation of ants can therefore be troublesome – particularly given what ants can walk through on their march to your sweet stuff. 

This can have an impact on hygiene in your home or business.

Our Garden Ants pest control services initially focus on prevention and shoring up the potential entry points. 

If it’s too late though and there is already an infestation, we use the latest swift acting treatments that will be safe to use in your environs and serve to completely eradicate any nearby nest.

Cockroaches

Carriers of diseases such as dysentry, salmonella and gastro-enteritis – and drawn to the warmth and plentiful foodstuffs of kitchens – it is imperative that cockroaches are dealt with as swiftly as possible.

However, herein lies the problem.

Cockroaches outlived the dinosaurs. The complex lifecycle and expertise in hiding makes them a notoriously difficult pest to eliminate and it’s why many “off-the-shelf” products offer only a temporary solution. 

With over 30 years’ experience, we know where to look and exactly the best treatments to use both for the best results and to protect your environs. 

Fleas

Having an infestation of fleas can affect your furnishings and your pets – and fleas will even bite humans.

Fleas usually invade a property by being brought in on a pet – and their rapid breeding capabilities mean that they can be difficult to control and completely eradicate.

Off-the-shelf products will only work if you have the experience and know-how to completely eradicate an infestation.

Our team of experts will identify the extent of the infestation and ensure the entire property is left flea-free – using the most appropriate treatment for the job.

That’s where we come in.

False Widow Spiders

In the autumn, spiders start making their way indoors to seek warmer surroundings and protection from the worsening weather. One of the more notorious spiders here in the UK is the False Widow Spider. 

Similar in looks to the fearsome Black Widow Spider, the False Widow carries are more forgiving bite – equivalent to a bee or wasp sting – but a painful bite none-the-less. 

Nocternal creatures, they are difficult to protect yourself against – so once again prevention is one of the key factors in removing their risk.

If prevention is too late, then our experts will use the most appropriate trapping and removal products to help ensure this worrisome pest is deal with swiftly.

Squirrels

Squirrels may “look cute” but they can cause considerable amounts of damage, spread disease and parasites and, as an “invasive” species, they must be terminated by law. 

They also pose a threat to the existence of our native red squirrels. 

So any trapped squirrels must be culled. 

To do this humanely, our experts can be called into homes and businesses across the CT postcode area and deal with this for you – using the most appropriate treatments available.

Textile Pests

Moths and certain types of beetle can cause extensive damage to clothing, soft furnishings and other textile products – causing expensive sums of damage.

The damage is caused by the larvae of the pest digesting feeding on something called ‘keratin’ – a protein found in natural fibres like wools, silks, leather, hair, fur and feathers.

The type of treatment our experts use depends on the type of pest involved and the extent of the damage. 

All treatments consider your surrounding environment and we will provide follow-up treatments where necessary to ensure the issue is eradicated.

Wasp Nest Removal

If you have a wasp nest, it can be a scary experience. Nests typically hold thousands of wasps – and if you stumble across one – or try and deal with it yourself – it can be a painful, indeed fatal, decision. 

Our expert wasp nest removal experts have the necessary equipment to quickly neutralise a nest. 

With over 30 years’ experience in wasp nest removal, our experts have attended homes, businesses, pubs, parks, golf courses and a whole host of other locations to swiftly eradicate a nest.
