Pest control in Flitwick
Flitwick has grown quickly, and a town with a lot of newer housing has a different pest profile to one with a lot of old.
What we deal with in Flitwick
Modern construction is tighter than period building, so wasps in roof voids are less common here than in Ampthill just up the road. What we see instead is mice exploiting the small gaps left around service entries: incoming water, gas, waste pipes and cable ducts that were never properly sealed after first fix.
Those gaps are easy to miss and easy to close, which is why proofing advice is usually a bigger part of a Flitwick job than the treatment itself. A mouse needs a gap about the width of a pencil, and a single unsealed duct will keep producing a problem however many times the house is treated.
Flitwick Moor sits on the eastern side of the town. Damp ground and dense cover hold a healthy rat population, and properties on that side see more of them, particularly where gardens back directly onto the reserve or the brook.
