Rodent Treatment Plans (Rats, Mice and Squirrels)

Rats, mice and squirrels can cause serious damage- chewing wires, contaminating surfaces and spreading disease. At Novapest, we provide fast, humane rodent removal and professional rodent proofing solutions to eliminate rat, mouse and squirrel infestations and protect your home or business in Devon.

Rats & Mice Treatment

Rapid Eradication & Long-Term Prevention

Rats and mice are more than just a nuisance; they are a serious risk to your health and property. Whether you’ve heard scratching in the loft or found evidence in your kitchen- we provide a fast, discreet and professional response to clear the infestation and keep them out for good.

Our approach- A 3 visit treatment plan.

Treatment costs cover inspection and control of the active infestation along with advice for long term protection. All treatments are carried out in full compliance with CRRU guidelines and industry codes of best practice.

Optional Preventative Services, Quoted Seperately-

  • Post-Pest Disinfection: Both rats and mice carry pathogens such as Salmonella and Leptospirosis. Add on our post-pest disinfection service to reduce any harmful biological contamination associated with rodent activity helping to restore affected areas to a safe and hygienic condition. 

  • Proofing Service: Proofing prevents pests from re-entering your space by sealing access points identified during inspection. Advice is provided free of charge, with any proofing work offered as an optional, seperately quoted service.

  • Loft Clearance & Restoration: Remove contaminated material from your loft space and carry out a thorough clean including post-pest disinfection and proofing where required to help return your loft to a safe, usable condition. Re-insulation can be quoted seperately if required.

Clear advice, honest recommendations and no unneccesary treatments.

Squirrel Treatment

Grey squirrels are one of the most destructive pests when they gain access to a property. Their powerful teeth allow them to chew through heavy timber, plastic water pipes and electrical wiring, creating a significant risk of flooding and house fires.

Our Approach: A 3 Visit Treatment Plan.

We don’t just remove the squirrels; we focus on long term prevention through proofing. We identify their entry points, often high up in the eaves or fascia boards and seal them using heavy-duty wire mesh and specialized materials to resist gnawing. Proofing advice is provided free of charge. Any recommended proofing work is optional and quoted seperately based on access and materials required.

The Law: Because grey squirrels are classified as an invasive species and it is illegal in the UK to release a captured squirrel back into the wild, all removals are carried out humanely and in full compliance with current wildlife legislation. 

Optional Preventative Services, Quoted Seperately- 

  • Proofing Service: Proofing prevents pests from re-entering your space by sealing access points identified during inspection. 

Fleas & Bedbug Treatment

Fleas and bedbugs are blood-feeding pests that cause bites, irritation and health risks. At Novapest, we provide fast, effective pest control to eliminate these parasites and protect your home or business in Devon.

We use targeted professional treatment and follow-up inspections where required to ensure the infestation is fully resolved.

Fleas

Fleas can quickly multiply in homes, especially where pets live. They can cause itchy bites, allergic reactions and in some cases transmit diseases. Flea infestations often start with pets bringing adult fleas into the home but the majority of the population may be hidden in carpets, upholstery, bedding and cracks in flooring.

Our Approach:

  • A full inspection to identify the level of infestation
  • Treatment of affected areas such as carpets, soft furnishings, pet bedding and skirting boards
  • Advice on pet treatment and prevention
  • Follow up inspection if required to ensure the infestation has been fully resolved

IMPORTANT NOTE: For best results, pets MUST be treated by a veterinarian or with appropriate veterinary approved products before or at the same time as the treatment.

Bedbugs (Spray Treatment)

Bedbugs are small, nocturnal insects that feed on human blood. They are often brought into homes and businesses through luggage, second hand furniture or clothing and can quickly spread throughout a property. Bed bug bites can cause itching, irritation and in some cases allergic reaction. Infestations can be difficult to eliminate without professional treatment. 

Our Approach: Treatment Plan Determined On An Case-By-Case Basis

  • Full inspection to identify infestation level and hot-spots
  • Targeted treatment of affected areas 
  • Advice on preventing re-infestation

DONT WAIT- Bedbugs spread quickly. Contact us today for a full inspection and treatment plan.

Wasp & Hornets Nests

A nest near your doorway or in your eaves or high traffic area is a significant safety risk, especially for children, pets and anyone with allergies. We aim to provide same-day response subject to availability and safety considerations.

Our Approach: 
  • Rapid Assessment: We first confirm the species and nest location to determine the safest treatment method.
  • Professional Treatment: Using approved industry standard products, we treat the nest to eliminate the colony quickly and safely.
  • Safe Removal: Where necessary, we remove the nest and dispose of it responsibly.
  • Follow Up: If you continue to notice activity we can return to assess and treat as required.

Asian Hornet Surveillance: We are fully trained to identify and report invasive Asian Hornets (Yellow Legged Hornets) to the National Bee Unit as part of the latest UK surveillance programs.

Mole Treatment Plans

Mole control is highly site specific. Treatment duration and outcomes can vary depending on land type, soil conditions and the size of the affected area.

Our Process

Our Comprehensive Restoration Process:

  • Rodent & Wildlife Removal: Safe extraction of rats, mice, squirrels and birds.

  • Bird Nesting Cleanup: Removal of nests, feathers and debris that attract secondary pests like carpet beetles and mites.

  • Disinfection & Deodorisation: We remove any droppings left behind. We use medical-grade biocides to eliminate bacteria, viruses (such as Hantavirus) and unpleasant odors.

  • Loft Proofing & Prevention: Expert sealing of entry points using professional-grade mesh and sealants to stop pests from returning.

  • Insulation Replacement: We offer an optional service to replace any contaminated insulation

  • Hazardous Waste Disposal: Full compliance with UK health and safety regulations for the safe removal of biological waste.

Why Professional Clearance is Essential

Fast, Reliable and Discreet. Whether you are a homeowner or a property manager, we deliver high-standard results that protect your property's value and your family's health.

Proofing Services

Stop pests from entering for good. At Novapest, we don’t just treat infestations; we build them out. Using only the highest industrial-grade materials, we provide permanent proofing to ensure your property remains a fortress against rodents and insects.

 

The Novapest Professional Proofing Toolkit

  • Non-Return Valves (Rat Valves): The ultimate defense against sewer-dwelling rodents. We install high quality stainless steel one-way valves in your drainage system, allowing waste out while physically blocking rats from swimming up into your property.

  • Industrial Stainless Steel Mesh: We use heavy-duty, rust-proof steel mesh to cover ventilation points. This allows essential airflow while providing a bite-proof barrier that even the most determined rodents cannot penetrate.

  • Steel Wool & Professional Sealants: We identify "pencil-thin" gaps around utility pipes and skirting boards, packing them with specialist wire wool and industrial-grade sealants to prevent mice and rats from gaining a foothold.

  • Airblock Covers: Professional-grade covers designed specifically to secure air bricks. These are high impact and weather-resistant, providing a clean, professional finish to your property's exterior while keeping pests out.

  • Loft Proofing: Targeted exclusion at the roofline and eaves. We use our specialized mesh and sealing techniques to block squirrels, birds and rodents from entering your attic space.

Why Choose Our Proofing?

  • No Poison Necessary: By physically blocking entry, we reduce the need for ongoing rodenticides, making this our most "Paw-Friendly" service.

  • Permanent Results: Unlike DIY expanding foam (which rats can eat through), our steel-based solutions are designed to last for years.

  • Professional Finish: We ensure all proofing work is discreet and matches the aesthetic of your home or business.

The best pest control is the one that stops them before they get in.

Post-Pest Disinfection

Restoring health and safety to your environment. Once the pests are gone, the invisible dangers they leave behind often remain. Rodents, birds and insects carry a variety of pathogens including Hantavirus, Leptospirosis and Salmonella that can persist in droppings, urine and nesting materials.

Our Process

  • Broad-Spectrum Disinfection: We use professional-grade biocides and virucides that are proven to eliminate 99.9% of harmful bacteria and viruses.

  • ULV Fogging Treatments: For high-risk areas or large spaces like lofts and warehouses, we use Ultra-Low Volume (ULV) fogging. This creates a fine mist that penetrates hard-to-reach cracks, crevices and porous surfaces where pathogens hide.

  • Targeted Surface Cleaning: Manual deep-cleaning of specific areas where high pest activity was identified, such as kitchen worktops, floor voids and utility cupboards.

  • Odour Neutralisation: Our treatments don’t just mask smells; they break down the organic molecules that cause the foul odours associated with rodent urine and decaying matter.

  • Safe Waste Removal: We safely remove and dispose of contaminated materials (such as droppings and soiled insulation) according to UK health and safety regulations.

Why Sanitisation is Essential:

  • Protect Your Health: Crucial for homes with children, elderly residents, or pets who are more vulnerable to pest-borne illnesses.

  • Commercial Compliance: A legal requirement for food-handling businesses to ensure a sterile environment after a pest outbreak to satisfy EHO inspections.

  • Peace of Mind: Ensure that your "pest-free" property is also a "germ-free" property.

Complete the Job. Restore Your Space. Don't leave your health to chance. Our sanitisation service is the final, vital step in every professional pest management plan.
