Pest Control Services Leeds – Emergency Pest Removal

I’ll never forget the call I got last February from a family in Headingley. They’d noticed a wasp nest in their loft the previous autumn but thought, “it’s getting cold, they’ll die off anyway.” Come February, they were paying £1,200 for an emergency removal when warm weather arrived early and the nest exploded back to life. That same job would’ve cost them £85 if they’d called me in October.

After 18 years dealing with pests across Leeds, you start to see the patterns. The weather rolling in from the Pennines – all that dampness we love to complain about – it’s basically a welcome mat for certain pests. And honestly, every type of property in Leeds has its own seasonal headaches. Those gorgeous Victorian terraces in Roundhay? Perfect for mice finding their way through old brickwork come autumn. The new builds out towards East Leeds? Different story entirely – usually it’s ants in summer or drainage issues attracting rats.

Speaking of rats, if you live anywhere near the River Aire, you’ll know autumn is when they start moving. The council gets swamped with calls around October when water levels change and disturb their usual haunts. I’ve been working with Leeds Council on various initiatives over the years, and they’re actually pretty good at responding to public health risks, but prevention is always better than waiting for an emergency.“`html
