Pest Control Services in Winchmore Hill N21

Pest control in Winchmore Hill, N21

Winchmore Hill keeps a village feel at its centre, where small shops, a few older cottages and Victorian and Edwardian homes face Winchmore Hill Green. Station Road and Green Dragon Lane lead out to larger interwar semis, and Grange Park lies to the north. The New River winds through the district, Grovelands Park borders it to the west, and Firs Farm wetlands sit to the east.

A year of pest calls in N21

Spring. Rats become active in gardens as the weather warms, burrowing under sheds and decking and near compost heaps. Queen wasps look for nest sites in lofts, sheds and garages. (Rat control)

Summer. Wasp nests grow fast and are at their busiest by July and August, often under roof tiles or in the loft. Clothes moths are active in older houses with wool carpets and stored clothes (moth control).

Autumn. Mice move indoors as it gets colder, through gaps around pipes, air bricks and under doors. Squirrels look for lofts to shelter in over winter, especially near Grovelands and the tree-lined roads.

Winter. Squirrels and mice settled indoors over winter are the main calls: noise in the loft at dawn, droppings in kitchen cupboards, and chewed insulation or cables.

Period homes need proofing

Victorian and Edwardian homes have suspended timber floors, chimney breasts and a lot of old pipework, and every gap is a way in. Interwar semis have large lofts and eaves that squirrels can work open. So after we treat, we seal the gaps we found and tell you about any we cannot reach.

Village shops

The cafes and restaurants in the village and on Station Road need regular checks for mice. We keep written records for your food safety file.
