Christmas & New Year Pest Control Tips and Our Opening Hours
The festive season is here, bringing with it joy, celebrations, and unfortunately, some unwanted visitors. While we love the sparkle of Christmas lights and the warmth of family gatherings, pests such as rodents, pigeons, and even seagulls can put a damper on your holiday cheer.
Why Pests Love the Holidays
The holidays often mean a house full of food, warmth, and hiding places – all of which are highly attractive to pests like mice and rats. Meanwhile, seagulls and pigeons can cause problems outdoors, especially around food disposal areas or if they find shelter near your home.
How to Keep Pests at Bay This Festive Season:
- Store food properly: Ensure leftovers and holiday treats are stored in airtight containers.
- Secure your bins: Outdoor bins should be tightly sealed to avoid attracting seagulls and other scavengers.
- Check your home for entry points: Seal gaps, cracks, and vents where rodents might enter.
- Deter pigeons and seagulls: Avoid leaving food scraps outside and consider installing deterrents to keep these birds at a distance.
Start 2025 Pest-Free
As we welcome the New Year, it’s time to think about fresh starts and clean slates – and that includes keeping your home pest-free. The colder months are prime time for pests like mice, rats, and even nuisance birds like pigeons and seagulls seeking shelter and food.
New Year, New Resolutions for Pest Prevention:
- Inspect and Protect: Start the year by inspecting your property for potential pest entry points.
- Clean Up: Regularly clean areas prone to crumbs and spills, such as kitchens and dining areas.
- Take Action Against Birds: If pigeons or seagulls have been a problem, contact us about humane deterrent solutions.
- Schedule Regular Pest Control: A proactive approach is the best way to ensure pests don’t disturb your peace.
