Pest Control in Hastings and the Surrounding Areas | Eradicating Moles From Tunbridge Wells to Hastings, and from Tenterden to Heathfield, we’ve seen it all in our 35 years of pest control . Rats, mice, moles, pigeons, squirrels, cockroaches, fleas, wasps and all manner of other bugs – Fen Pest Control has been the trusted local option for ending the nightmare of infestations, allowing our valued customers to return back to their normal day-to-day lives.
The unfortunate reality is that pests like moles will always resurface somewhere else in the Hastings and Tunbridge Wells areas. Like so many of life’s misfortunes, we tend to regard pest infestations as something that happens to someone else. Regardless of what brings these creatures to a Tenterden or Heathfield property, their arrival is always unexpected. Here at Fen Pest Control we understand that when you uncover moles , or any other pest problem, you want it fixed as soon as possible.
Moles | How to Spot Them With their soft, gentle appearance, moles are not always thought of as a pest. If you ask someone who has had them on their Hastings or Tunbridge Wells property, however, they will tell you a very different story. Moles are carnivorous animals that survive on a diet of grubs, insects and invertebrates. Despite the fact that they can destroy gardens, lawns and golf courses with great speed, they have no interest in greenery or plants.
All they want to do is eat, and their favourite foods just so happen to live in moist, loamy soil.
This is all of little interest if you happen to run a golf course in the Heathfield area, or your carefully manicured lawn or garden in Tenterden is now decorated with unsightly molehills and surface ridges. If this is your particular fate, there is no need to be overly concerned. The likelihood is you will never see the mole, or moles, yourself. Even if you do, they aren’t dangerous; but that’s certainly no reason to handle one. They are highly sensitive creatures, and any contact with humans will result in defensive behaviour, including biting.
While unlikely, it has been known for moles to carry rabies. A bite from a rabid mole would carry obvious health risks. Even if they don’t bite, and aren’t rabid, merely touching a mole can bring you into contact with fleas, ticks and other parasites hitching a ride. As potential carriers of Lyme disease, anaplasmosis and tularemia, a bite from one of these is a far more likely way to encounter health issues.
Infestations from moles are common place in the Tunbridge Wells, Hastings, Heathfield and Tenterden areas. To keep your family safe, don’t approach moles yourself. Keep children and pets away from contact too. Contact Fen Pest Control immediately and let us take care of everything on your behalf. Our company is locally based in Hawkhurst.
Bugs and Insects | Keeping out the Creepy Crawlies The sight of one bug crawling around inside your Tunbridge Wells or Hastings property can be enough to make you shudder. But what would you do if you have an infestation of bed bugs, common wasps, carpet beetles or Oriental cockroaches?
The answer, of course, might be to scream. But when you’ve finished screaming, you should contact Fen Pest Control immediately. In most cases, it’s not immediately important to know why the pests came to your Tenterden or Heathfield property in the first place. Destroying them quickly is a more pressing matter. A wasp nest on your property, for example, can prove especially dangerous if you inadvertently disturb it.
More often than not, keeping pests like bed bugs and cockroaches to a minimum is a case of running a clean home. A lot of bugs are attracted to dirty environments where food and waste is readily available. Leaving these attractants is an open invite and, much like moles before them, these pests enter your Hastings or Tunbridge Wells home carrying potentially disease-laden parasites.
The team at Fen Pest Control leave nothing to chance. By using carefully selected gases, traps and methods honed by our years of experience, we understand these creatures, their behaviour and their dangers. We take the risks with the required protection so that our valued customers in Hastings, Tunbridge Wells, Heathfield and Tenterden can return to a pest-free property as soon as possible.
