Pest Control for Somerset
From the county town of Taunton to the flatlands of the Somerset Levels and the Mendip Hills, pest problems are part of life in this rural county. Somerset’s agricultural landscape, older villages and damp climate create ideal conditions for rodents, insects and wildlife pests.
JG Pest Control offers reliable, professional pest removal across Somerset. Our RSPH (BPCA) Level 2 certified and trainee technicians are equipped to handle any infestation, from rats in cider barns to wasps in thatched roofs.

Pest Control Across Somerset
Somerset Council has a duty under the Prevention of Damage by Pests Act 1949 to ensure the area is kept free of rats and mice, and can serve notice on owners of infested land requiring them to deal with the problem. This enforcement power reflects the scale of rodent issues across the county.
The Somerset Levels - low-lying wetlands between the Quantock and Mendip Hills - are particularly prone to rat activity. Drainage problems and a large proportion of rat infestations are closely linked, and flooding events push rodents out of their burrows and into nearby homes and farm buildings.
Taunton and Yeovil are the county’s largest towns and see the most residential pest callouts. Bridgwater’s industrial areas and food processing businesses generate commercial pest control demand. The tourist towns of Glastonbury, Wells and Cheddar deal with seasonal pest pressures linked to holiday accommodation.
Somerset’s many thatched properties present specific challenges - birds nesting in thatch, wasps building in roof voids, and mice entering through eaves. JG Pest Control handles all pest types across the whole county.
