Pest Control in Dorking

What pest problems are common in Dorking?

The rural and wooded setting around Dorking makes wildlife-related pest calls more common here than in more urban towns. Rats and mice are the most frequent domestic calls, particularly in older town-centre properties with original drainage and in homes on the edges of the town bordering farmland or woodland. Moles are a persistent issue on the residential properties with larger gardens and on the paddocks and farmland surrounding the town. The Surrey Hills grassland and downland also produces regular mole control work for private landowners.

Grey squirrels are common in Dorking's gardens and woodland-adjacent streets, particularly in the tree-heavy residential areas on the slopes around the town. Wasps are a seasonal pressure, with nests in lofts and wall cavities common from late spring onwards.
