LU7
Pest control in Leighton Buzzard
The Grand Union Canal runs straight through Leighton Buzzard and Linslade, and rats travel along watercourses as a matter of routine.
What we deal with in Leighton Buzzard
Canal banks, culverts and the drain runs feeding them are highways for rats. Properties backing onto the towpath, and anywhere with a cracked gully or an abandoned drain connection, get recurring problems that baiting alone does not settle. We look for the route in before we look at anything else.
The other local factor is the sand. Leighton Buzzard sits on some of the best quarrying sand in the country, and light free-draining ground is easy to burrow in. Rat burrows under decking, sheds and garden walls are more common here than in the heavier clay a few miles north, and a burrow system is usually more extensive than the entrance suggests.
Linslade and the older streets around the High Street bring the usual roofline work: wasps under tile and soffit through the summer, and squirrels finding their way into roof spaces from mature trees in autumn.
