Pest Control Swindon

---

Rats are one of the most common pest control callouts across Swindon. Brown rats (Rattus norvegicus) are the species behind almost all UK infestations, and they're a particular problem in older properties around Old Town, terraced housing in Rodbourne and Gorse Hill, and rural-fringe homes in villages like Wroughton and Chiseldon where countryside meets housing. Rats can squeeze through gaps as small as 1.5cm, gnaw through electrical cables, and carry diseases including Salmonella and Weil's disease. We carry out a full property and drainage inspection, identify how the rats are getting in, treat with professional rodenticides where appropriate, and proof entry points so they don't come back.

Mice breed year-round and seek warmth and food in autumn and winter, which is why we get a sharp rise in Swindon mouse callouts from October onwards. They're particularly common in newer developments such as Wichelstowe and Tadpole Garden Village (where construction disturbs ground populations) and in older period housing where access points are abundant. Signs include droppings the size of rice grains, gnawed packaging, and scratching in cavity walls or lofts. Treatment combines targeted baiting with thorough proofing.

Wasp nests are most active from late spring through to early autumn. We treat nests in lofts, wall cavities, sheds, garages and ground-level holes across Swindon, with wasp nest treatments from £75. Treatment is usually completed in a single visit. Don't try to remove an active nest yourself - disturbed wasps will sting in defence and a single nest can hold thousands of insects.

Bed bugs spread through travel, second-hand furniture and shared accommodation. Once established they're notoriously difficult to remove without professional treatment. We see bed bug callouts across Swindon's rental sector, hotels and HMOs, particularly in central SN1 and SN2 postcodes. Heat treatment and targeted insecticide applications are the proven methods.

The countryside on the edges of Swindon - particularly around Wroughton, Chiseldon, Wanborough and the villages of north Wiltshire - sees regular mole damage to lawns, paddocks and equestrian land. Mole hills aren't just unsightly; on grazing land they contaminate silage and damage machinery. Read about our mole treatment process →

We also treat clothes moths and carpet moths (a particular issue in Swindon's older Old Town housing stock with original wool carpets and natural-fibre soft furnishings), fleas, cockroaches, ants and woodworm. See our full list of common pests →

Swindon has a substantial commercial base - the town hosts major employers, large industrial estates, retail parks, restaurants and warehousing. Pest issues in food businesses, hospitality, schools and warehousing carry compliance risk as well as reputational risk. We work with commercial premises across Swindon on both reactive callouts and ongoing pest management contracts.can handle any pest problem, from restaurants to warehouses.
