The Rodent Proofing Company

Who are The Rodent Proofing Company?

The Rodent Proofing Company is a Newark based nationwide rodent proofing company.

We specialise in the rodent proofing of commercial properties including well known supermarkets.

Areas that have been proofed include service yards, warehouse entrances and door openings.

Rodents that are most commonly dealt with are rats and pigeons, occasionally dealing with smaller birds such as sparrows.

When dealing with bird pests the majority of our work takes place at height, this has meant that we are also able to offer a full building cleaning service. This includes removal of fouling from any area, gutter cleaning and jet washing of fascias.

The Rodent Proofing Company is VAT registered.

Rodent proofing

The rodent proofing is carried out by trained technicians to install galvanised steel plate to perimeter fencing. The steel plate is fixed to the fence using pot rivets to give a solid fixing.

If the fence line is chain link we are still able to carry out the proofing by installing wooden rails.

Entrance gates are proofed using the same process adding bristle strip to the bottom and edge of the gates.

Fence lines are sealed by digging in the galvanised steel and also by using cement where it is practical to do so.

We also install strip curtain doors to warehouse entrances for both pedestrians and fork lift entrances.


Bird proofing

A full bird proofing service is offered by using various methods depending on the infestation or prevention required.

Areas can be proofed by installing nettingto totally prevent the pest species from entering the area. The netting comes in various gauges depending on species and also various colours enabling the netting to blend into the background if required. We have recently been installing bright coloured netting into warehouse ceilings to make it easier for the fork lift operators to see it.

Small areas can also be proofed against larger pest species by the use of bird point. This is installed to the area using a fixing which prevents the birds from landing on the area. Window sills, rails and any other area that can be used to perch can be easily treated to prevent pigeons and seagulls from using it.


Bird Culling, Scaring Programmes

Pest bird species can be controlled by reducing the population (pest species as per the DEFRA guide).

The methods of this we offer are the use of a qualified marksman to cull the birds or the use of Hawks.

Hawks can be also used to scare the bird population into moving onto other sites. However there are no guarantees when carrying out scaring using hawks that the intended target will survive. By nature the hawk cannot differentiate between scaring and culling.

For larger sites such as land fill, falcons are used to disperse seagulls to other areas.


Building Cleaning, Gutter Cleaning

Building cleaning by the use of power washing, chemicals to remove graffiti and scraping to remove fouling are all part of the services on offer.

Pigeon fouling can harbour various harmful spores and needs to be handled by trained personnel. All of our staff are trained and provided with the relevant personnel protective equipment.

All waste is either removed to our own site or disposed off using a registered waste contractor.

Recently we carried out the complete gutter cleaning and refurbishment of the building drainage system on a grade 1 listed building. This included various building repairs and was completely project managed by ourselves.
