Pest control Rugby
Rugby's local pest control team

Fully qualified, insured and accredited, with a proper inspection every time, and fast pest control near you.
Professional pest control in Rugby
Rugby's a mix of town-centre terraces, new-build estates and villages backing onto open countryside, so the pests we're called out to reflect that. Here's what we deal with most across the borough, why they turn up, and how our local technicians get rid of each one.
-
Rat control in Rugby
Rats turn up around decking, compost, sheds and bird feeders, then work into lofts and drains as it cools. The technician tracks down the source, carries out the rat treatment and checks drain runs and pipework for the way in — with an endoscopic camera where access is tight.
-
Mouse control in Rugby
Scratching in the walls at night, droppings under the sink, a musky smell in the airing cupboard — the usual signs. Mice nest in cavity walls and under floors and get through gaps the width of a pencil, so shop-bought traps rarely finish them off. The technician locates the nests and runs, handles the mouse control safely around children and pets, and flags any proofing needed. Your first rodent visit includes free bait-box collection afterwards.

Wasp nest removal in Rugby
Found a nest in the loft, a wall cavity, a shed or under the eaves? Don’t knock it down yourself — that’s how people get stung. The technician treats the nest and the wasps around it, and most are sorted in a single visit. Activity peaks from spring through late summer, and we handle wasp nest removal all year round — unlike the council — so book as soon as you spot one.
-
Squirrel control in Rugby
Heavy daytime scurrying in the loft — louder than mice — usually means grey squirrels, in through the eaves and roofline as autumn and winter set in. Left to it they gnaw joists, insulation and wiring, so it pays to act fast. The technician traps and removes them and points out the roofline gaps to proof shut. Grey squirrels are an invasive species and can’t legally be released elsewhere, so squirrel removal isn’t a DIY job.
-
Cluster fly treatment in Rugby
If your loft or upstairs windows fill with slow, sluggish flies each autumn, those are cluster flies — gathering in their hundreds on the warm side of rural and edge-of-village homes to overwinter. They don’t breed indoors, but the numbers are grim and they come back to the same buildings year after year. Our fly control fogs the roof void and treats the entry points, with advice on cutting down next autumn’s return. September and October are the peak.
-
Bed bug treatment in Rugby
Bed bugs travel home in luggage and second-hand furniture and hide in mattress seams, headboards and skirting — bites in a line and small blood spots on the sheets are the giveaway. Our exterminators use an insecticide that kills the eggs as well as the live bugs, and because they breed fast the technician advises on the visit whether a second treatment is needed.
Pest control in Rugby: why pests turn up where they do
Rugby’s a real mix — Victorian and Edwardian terraces around the town centre, 1930s semis, big new-build estates at Cawston, Houlton and Brownsover, and older homes out in the villages. The pests we’re called to tend to follow the property.
Older terraces and period homes have the gaps, cavities and shared walls that let mice and rats move in and travel between houses. New-build estates built on former farmland often see rodents pushed off the land as sites go up, plus wasps setting up in fresh loft spaces. Village and edge-of-town homes back onto open countryside, so they get the rural set — rats around outbuildings, squirrels in the loft and cluster flies in the roof.
Two bits of local geography matter too: the Oxford Canal and River Avon run through the town, and rats are never far from water; and the farmland around the borough keeps a steady supply of rodents and overwintering flies looking for a warm building to get into. Whatever you’re seeing, a local technician will know why it’s turned up and how to deal with it.
