Rodent pest control in Kinross
Rodent pest control in Kinross, mice digging at foundations
Lots of calls for rodent pest control in Kinross as these vermin move into buildings to get shelter for the winter. Rats and mice both dig and climb into buildings, so they can get in from the foundations up to the roof. Mice are a real nuisance because they squeeze in through gaps as small as 6mm; they are difficult to keep out. Rats need bigger gaps to get in through but they are very good at digging in under foundations or chewing to make holes bigger, and they follow drains and piping. With the real onset of winter weather this week we’re going to be busy with rodent pest control in Kinross for more of these vermin problems.
