Pownalls on Pests - Jan 2025.
As we welcome in a new year, and the sudden icy conditions! We have noticed a sharp increase in the amount of pests control kits being delivered to our customers using our dedicated Air gun Delivery Service.
In these freezing conditions rats and squirrels are looking for food and warmth so it pays to be aware and have a good pest control kit to hand in your property with this in mind.
An Air guns' quiet operation and sufficient power make them extremely effective and popular for controlling small pests such as rodents and birds.
