Pest Control In Wokingham
Wokingham is PEST UK’s first regional office. We have several pest control technicians working in this area: Steve Tiller, Bradley Johnson, George Offord-Colwell, Gjorgji Mikov, Josh Hill, Rick Pellen.
Wokingham is a wealthy market town in Berkshire situated between Reading and Bracknell. The name came from Wocca which was the name of a Saxon Chief. In Tudor times Wokingham produced silk. During the civil war Wokingham suffered looting and damage from both sides. Over 20% of the town was destroyed. Wokingham was also famous for bull baiting which was carried out every year in December until the practice was banned. Wokingham has its own train station with links to London, Waterloo and Gatwick Airport. Wokingham is twinned with Erfstadt in Germany and Viry-Chatillon in France.
PEST UK has a large number of pest control contracts in Wokingham and the surrounding area, including: industrial parks, houses, schools and colleges, warehouses, factories, offices, restaurants, takeaways, guest houses, traveller caravan sites, churches, community centres, blocks of flats, shops and supermarkets, golf courses, nature reserves, public opens spaces and parks.
Pest Control in Wokingham and the surrounding area:
As well as the extensive pest control contract base we carry out many pest control one off treatments in Wokingham and the surrounding area for both domestic and commercial premises. The pests treated include rats, mice, wasp nests, bees, ants, cluster flies, cockroaches, bed bugs, fleas, flies, squirrels, rabbits & moles. Wokingham does not suffer from many breaches or breaks in the sewer system that can lead to rat and mouse pest problems but the main source of pest control problems relating to rats, mice & squirrels seem to be people feeding birds. Feeding birds supplies rodents with a regular supply of a high protein foodstuff. Wokingham has a railway line running through the centre and some small streams. These can provide food and shelter for rats, mice, squirrels and some insect pests. The railway line that runs from Reading to Waterloo passes through Wokingham. The properties and businesses alongside the railway line due suffer from pest problems of rats, mice, squirrels and some insect pests more so than other properties. PEST UK had a pest control contract at the hotel next to the station (the hotel was taken over by a multinational chain, so we lost the contract). The bin area of this hotel was next to the railway line and even though the owners were extremely careful with the hygiene and integrity of the bins rats would always be taking the bait. Reason for this is that railway lines (and canals, motorways, rivers) provide a route for travel and in some cases food and water for rats, mice, squirrels and some insect pests.
Wokingham public spaces and offices
PEST UK deal with many pest control issues in public spaces and offices in Wokingham. Squirrels accessing offices is a common problem. Our technicians work with property managers to proof buildings to prevent squirrels from gaining access. We provide pest control services to the council to control rats, mice and squirrels around the lake in the grounds of the council offices. People feed the ducks and turtles in the lake which encourages rats, mice and squirrels. We use preventative baits and monitors around the lake to keep the rodent population under control.
Pest Control at Schools In Wokingham
PEST UK have many pest control contracts at schools throughout the Wokingham area. Schools choose us because all our pest control technicians are CRB checked and respond almost immediately to any emergency pest control problem, 7 days a week. PEST UK carry out fox control on the playing fields at many schools around Wokingham as fox droppings carry disease which put children at risk.
Some of the pests we deal with:
| Rats | You may see rats during daylight hours but they prefer to operate at night. |
|---|---|
| Ants | Worker ants will frequently enter dwellings foraging for food, particularly sweet substances. |
| Cockroaches | Cockroaches are mainly nocturnal so they are more likely to be seen at night. |
| Squirrels | The most common complaint about Squirrels is when they take residence in a loft space. |
| Mice | You may see, hear or smell a mouse problem or see other evidence such as burrowing in insulation or soil. |
| Wasps | Wasps are aggressive and will sting readily if they think the nest is in danger. |
