Responsive pest control for Devizes’ historic homes, rural businesses and community spaces. Devizes is a town with a strong sense of heritage, home to listed buildings, independent shops, and countryside properties. But with its canal-side setting, open farmland, and traditional brewing history, it’s also vulnerable to pest problems like rodents, birds and seasonal insects.
Common Pest Problems in Devizes
Devizes is a town rich in character, with heritage buildings, independent businesses, and its famous canal locks all contributing to a unique environment. But with its blend of older properties, green spaces and a thriving local economy, pest issues are a common concern. Here are some of the problems we frequently help manage across Devizes and the surrounding countryside:
Rats and mice are often found in older homes and town centre buildings, particularly those with basements, outbuildings or poor insulation. Properties near the Kennet & Avon Canal, around farms, or in the historic centre can offer rodents easy access to warmth and food. Whether it’s a mouse in the kitchen or a rat infestation in a store cupboard or cellar, we offer fast, effective control with long-term prevention options for homes and businesses alike.
Devizes’ mix of listed properties, brewery buildings, and flat-roofed commercial premises makes it attractive to pigeons, gulls and seasonal flocking birds. These birds often roost on rooftops and ledges, leaving acidic droppings that can stain masonry and create slip hazards in courtyards and alleyways. We use discreet bird-proofing systems that preserve the appearance of historic sites while preventing costly damage and hygiene risks.
With its growing appeal to tourists and canal boaters, Devizes has a variety of B&Bs, guest houses, and holiday cottages and with that comes the risk of bed bug infestations. These pests spread quickly in soft furnishings and are notoriously hard to get rid of without professional help. ASW offers discreet, effective bed bug control for property owners and letting agents, helping to maintain your standards and your reputation.
