Pest Control Across Dorset
BCP Council (covering Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole) recently stopped providing its own pest control service, meaning residents now need to use private pest controllers. This has increased demand across the area, particularly for rodent control in the busy restaurant and nightlife districts where rats are attracted to food waste.
Dorset’s coastal location makes seagulls one of the county’s most visible pest problems. Towns like Weymouth, Lyme Regis and Swanage deal with aggressive nesting gulls every summer. Pest controllers working around Poole harbour know the rat highways along the waterfront, and seagull nesting sites on commercial and residential buildings require specialist deterrent systems.
Dorset Council advises residents to eat indoors around harbours and beaches to avoid gull swooping, but for properties with nesting gulls, professional proofing is the only lasting solution. The mild Dorset winters mean rodent activity rarely drops off completely, and wasp nests are a major concern during summer, particularly in rural West Dorset and the Purbeck peninsula.
JG Pest Control operates across all of Dorset and responds quickly to both residential and commercial pest problems.
