Pest control in Letchworth
Letchworth was the first garden city, and the thing that makes it pleasant to live in is the same thing that shapes its pest work: trees and roof space, in quantity.
What we deal with in Letchworth
The original Arts and Crafts housing was built with generous roof volumes, deep overhanging eaves and a lot of exposed timber. That is close to ideal for wasps, and it gives squirrels an easy way in once a soffit or a verge has weathered. Both are common here and both need the entry point dealt with rather than just the occupants.
Garden city planning means mature trees close to buildings almost everywhere. Overhanging branches are a bridge into a roof, and the single most effective thing most Letchworth households can do about squirrels is cut the bridge rather than treat the roof.
Much of the town sits within a conservation framework, so proofing work has to be sympathetic to the building. We would rather tell you what is possible before we come out than turn up and find we cannot do it.
