Folkstone, in Kent, is an historic port town on the English Channel surrounded by seaside, cliff walks and the Kent Downs.
Wartime memorials, such as the Battle of Britain Museum and Memorial can be found in the town, highlighting its importance in the first World War. It’s also home to a number of pests, including mice, rats and seagulls, which are commonly found in coastal areas.
Whether you’re worried about flying insects, birds, rodents or otherwise, JG Pest Control specialises in every type of pest removal. Get in touch to find out more about our services.
Folkestone’s coastal position means seagull control is a major concern alongside the usual rodent and insect problems. The harbour area and old town attract rat activity.
Pest Control in Folkstone
The Leas Coastal Park, its golf course, harbourside area and promenade are popular with walkers and tourists alike, especially during the warm weather. But an increase of people, alongside hotter temperatures, means pests such as wasps and ants can come out in droves.
Being so close to the sea, spiders and seagulls are two more common pests that can linger around the area, causing disturbance and discomfort to the town’s populace and its many visitors.
JG Pest Control can have a specialist out to you within 24 hours, so you can rest assured any infestation you’re suffering from won’t last long. Get in touch to discover how we can help with a pest problem.
