1. Can you get rid of rats and mice?
Yes. We deal with rat and mouse infestations in homes and commercial properties.
Rodents can contaminate food, damage insulation, chew electrical wiring, and spread harmful bacteria. Early treatment helps prevent the infestation from becoming more difficult to control.
We'll identify where the rodents are entering, recommend the most appropriate treatment, and advise on measures to help prevent future problems.
2. How do I know if I have a rat problem?
Common signs include scratching noises in walls or loft spaces, droppings, gnaw marks, damaged food packaging, and unusual pet behaviour.
Rats are often more active at night, so many homeowners first notice the problem after dark.
If you suspect rodents are present, it's best to arrange an inspection before the infestation grows.
3. Can you remove wasp nests?
Yes. We safely treat and remove active wasp nests where appropriate.
Attempting to remove a wasp nest yourself can increase the risk of stings, particularly if the nest is disturbed.
We'll assess the location of the nest and carry out the treatment safely.
4. Do you treat ant infestations?
Yes. We provide treatment for ant infestations inside and outside properties.
While individual ants are rarely the problem, they usually indicate a nearby colony that needs to be addressed.
We'll identify the likely source of the infestation and recommend the most effective treatment.
5. Can mice get into a house through small gaps?
Yes. Mice can squeeze through surprisingly small openings around pipes, air bricks, vents, doors, and damaged brickwork.
Even tiny gaps can provide enough access for rodents to enter a property in search of food, warmth, and shelter.
We'll help identify potential entry points and advise on reducing the risk of future infestations.
6. What should I do if I find a wasp nest?
Avoid disturbing the nest or attempting to remove it yourself.
Wasps can become aggressive if they feel the nest is under threat, increasing the likelihood of multiple stings.
Keep people and pets away from the area where possible and contact CanCan to arrange safe treatment.
7. Do you offer emergency pest control?
Yes. We provide emergency pest control for situations where an infestation presents an immediate concern.
We'll assess the urgency of the problem and arrange the earliest suitable attendance wherever possible.
8. Can pests return after treatment?
They can. Successful treatment removes the current infestation, but new pests may return if access points remain open or food sources are still available.
We'll provide practical advice to help reduce the likelihood of future infestations.
9. How quickly can pest control attend?
Attendance depends on your location, the type of pest, and current availability.
Urgent infestations are prioritised wherever possible, and we'll always provide the earliest available appointment when you contact us.
10. Can you help prevent future pest problems?
Yes. Preventing pests is just as important as treating the current infestation.
Simple measures such as sealing entry points, storing food correctly, improving waste management, and addressing property maintenance issues can significantly reduce the risk of pests returning.
Where appropriate, we'll recommend practical long-term prevention measures based on your property and the type of pest involved.
If you're dealing with a pest infestation or would like preventative advice, contact CanCan and we'll be happy to help.
