MK42 and MK43
Pest control in Kempston
Kempston sits on the Great Ouse immediately south west of Bedford, and the river shapes a lot of what we get called to here.
What we deal with in Kempston
The older parts of Kempston, around the High Street and Bedford Road, are dense terraced housing where a rodent problem in one property is rarely confined to it. Shared roof voids and party walls mean mice move along a terrace, which is why we survey neighbouring properties rather than treating one house in isolation.
Closer to the river, the meadows and the flood plain keep rats close to homes all year. Gardens backing onto the water, and anywhere with a poorly sealed gully or an old clay drain run, are the ones we return to most.
There is a good deal of newer development towards Kempston West and Wootton, and new build brings its own pattern: gaps around service entries that were never properly sealed are the commonest way mice get into an otherwise sound house.
Rats
Riverside gardens and older drain runs, heaviest in autumn.
Mice
Terraced streets, where treatment needs to cover the run of houses.
Wasps
Loft nests in the older stock along the High Street end.
Fleas
Common in rented terraces between tenancies.
