– LOCAL PEST CONTROL-
From Brunel’s old Railway Village to the business parks on the edge of town, Swindon is really several different towns in one, and pest control here has to account for that. We cover homes, shops and offices across the whole town. Every job starts with a proper inspection, not a guess, and every visit ends with a written report.

The Railway Village and Old Town
Brunel’s Railway Village, built in the 1840s to house Great Western Railway workers, is one of the best preserved planned worker communities in England, and its stone cottages sit alongside the older hilltop settlement of Old Town. Original stonework, old chimneys and timber floors in these buildings give rats, mice and wasps a way in that a modern build would not have. The Railway Village now sits at the heart of a Heritage Action Zone, and any pest control work here has to be done carefully around original features rather than treating every building the same way.
The grid pattern terraces GWR built for its workforce in New Town, along with the decades of housing estates that followed as Swindon grew from around 100,000 to 400,000 people, bring a different mix of problems: rodents moving between closely packed houses, and squirrels finding their way in from green spaces like Coate Water and Lydiard Park. Coate Water started life as a reservoir for the old Wilts and Berks Canal, and the mature parkland around it is exactly the kind of green corridor squirrels use to move into nearby gardens.
Swindon is home to the head offices of major national and international companies, including Nationwide, Zurich and WHSmith, alongside logistics and industrial units around South Marston, where Honda’s old plant once stood. These sites bring a different kind of pest control need entirely, covered in more detail below.
With terraced streets packed close together across much of the town and plenty of green space at the edges, rats and mice move easily between Swindon’s older housing and gardens backing onto open ground. Searches for rat and mouse control both spike hard every autumn as the weather turns and rodents look for shelter indoors. Our rat control and mouse control services cover homes across every part of Swindon.
Wasp nests build up fast through the summer across Swindon, whether that is in a garden shed on a New Town estate, a roof void in an Old Town property, or an outbuilding near one of the town’s parks. A nest left alone can grow to thousands of wasps by late summer, so it is worth dealing with early. Our wasp nest removal service handles this safely and quickly.
Few towns Swindon’s size have quite this concentration of large corporate offices and logistics sites, from national insurance and financial services headquarters to the warehousing and industrial units built up around South Marston since Honda’s plant first opened there. A pest problem at a large office or warehouse site brings different needs to a single home: multiple buildings, shift patterns, deliveries, and sometimes food service areas that all need their own approach.
We work with facilities and office managers across Swindon’s business parks on ongoing pest management contracts, scheduled around site access and working hours, and provide written reports that can be filed alongside other site records or audits.
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 Swindon, so whether the job is a rodent problem in a Railway Village cottage or a pigeon problem at a warehouse near South Marston, you are dealing with one team rather than being passed between specialists.
As well as Swindon itself, we cover the nearby towns of Chippenham, Marlborough and Calne. We treat both domestic and commercial addresses across this whole area, so a call out to an office or warehouse gets the same response as a call out to a house. See our full coverage area for other towns we serve.
Do you cover all areas of Swindon, including Old Town and West Swindon? Yes, we cover the whole town, from the Railway Village and Old Town to West Swindon and the newer estates, as well as nearby Chippenham, Marlborough and Calne.
Can old buildings in the Railway Village need different treatment to newer homes? Often, yes. Period cottages usually need more attention to original stonework and old timber, while newer builds are more likely to have gaps around modern cavity walls and pipework instead.
Do you offer pest control contracts for offices and business parks? Yes, we work with facilities and office managers across Swindon’s business parks on ongoing contracts, scheduled around site access and working hours.
Can you help with pigeons at a warehouse or business park? Yes, we use falconry-based bird deterrent methods for pigeon problems at warehouses, offices and other business park units around Swindon.
What should I do if I find a wasp nest in my Swindon garden? Do not try to remove it yourself. Keep people and pets away from the area and call us for wasp nest removal.
Is your pest control safe for pets and children? Yes, we prioritise environmentally friendly treatments and will always advise on any precautions needed for a specific job.
If you have spotted signs of pests at home, in the Railway Village, or at your office or business park in Swindon, do not wait for the problem to grow. We cover the whole town, from the Railway Village and Old Town to the business parks and estates further out.
