– LOCAL PEST CONTROL –
Frome’s cobbled medieval streets, old stone cellars and independent shops give it a character all its own, and that character shapes its pest problems too. We cover homes and businesses across the town, from cottages near Cheap Street to shops up on Catherine Hill. You speak directly to a trained technician, not a call centre, and every visit ends with a written report.
– LOVED BY HOMEOWNERS & BUSINESSES –
Whether it’s rats near Cheap Street, a wasp nest above a Catherine Hill shopfront, or bed bugs in a stockroom, we’ve dealt with it in Frome before. You speak directly to a trained technician, not a call centre, and we use environmentally friendly methods where we can.
Rats and Mice Near Cheap Street’s Running Leat
Cheap Street is one of Frome’s oldest and prettiest streets, with a leat, an open stream, running right along its length. That constant flow of water is exactly the kind of damp, sheltered spot rats look for, especially as the weather turns colder. Our rat control service deals with the problem and helps close off the gaps that let them in.
Frome was one of the largest towns in the country from the wool trade centuries ago, and a lot of that old building stock, along with the stone cellars beneath shops and cottages, is still standing and still occupied. Those old cellars and cavity gaps give mice an easy route indoors, particularly across the medieval street pattern near the centre. Our mouse control service clears the problem and helps proof against it coming back.
Wasp nests turn up across Frome every summer, from gardens on the newer estates to roof voids and old outbuildings on the steep, cobbled streets nearer the centre. A nest left alone can grow to thousands of wasps by late summer, so it is worth dealing with early, especially with the Frome Independent market and Frome Festival both drawing crowds into the town centre through the warmer months. A nest near a busy market stall or festival crowd is not just inconvenient, it is a genuine safety concern. Our wasp nest removal service handles this safely and quickly.
Bees are often mistaken for wasps, but they are protected and need a different approach, and searches for bee removal spike sharply every May and June as swarms move to new homes. Our bee removal service relocates bees safely wherever possible, rather than treating them as a pest to eliminate.
Catherine Hill and the surrounding Artisan Quarter, taking in Palmer Street, Paul Street and Stony Street, are lined with independent shops, galleries and cafes housed in centuries-old buildings. A pest problem in a small, customer-facing shop is not something you can shut for a week to deal with, so speed and discretion both matter.
We work with shop and cafe owners across Catherine Hill and the wider town centre on discreet call outs, timed around opening hours where needed, and can provide a written report afterwards for your own records or a landlord’s peace of mind.
When you call, you speak directly to a trained technician, not a call centre, and we use environmentally friendly methods where we can. Our technicians are trained across the full range of pests found in and around Frome, so whether the job is a rodent problem near Cheap Street or a wasp nest above a Catherine Hill shopfront, you are dealing with one team rather than being passed between specialists.
Bed bug treatment is one of the most heavily searched pest control terms nationally, and it is not just a hotel problem: guest rooms above shops, staff areas and stockrooms with soft furnishings can all be affected. Our bed bug treatment service is discreet, which matters for any customer-facing business.
Cockroaches are more of a concern for food premises than most other pests, since an infestation is tied directly to hygiene ratings and environmental health inspections. Our cockroach control service is built around exactly that kind of premises.
As well as Frome itself, we cover the nearby towns of Westbury, Warminster and Trowbridge. We also cover surrounding villages such as Rode, Nunney and Mells on request. We treat both domestic and commercial addresses across this whole area, so a call out to a shop or cafe gets the same response as a call out to a house. Frome also sits close to the Wiltshire border, so we regularly move between the two counties on the same working day. See our full coverage area for other towns we serve.
Can pests get into my property through old stone walls or cellars? Yes, old stonework, cellar access points and the gaps that come with centuries-old buildings all give rats, mice and other pests a way in that a modern build would not have.
Do you offer pest control for shops or cafes on Catherine Hill? Yes, we work with shop and cafe owners across Catherine Hill and the wider Artisan Quarter, timing visits around opening hours so trade is not disrupted.
