King's Lynn is an old port on the Great Ouse, close to The Wash, with a historic town centre, working docks and industrial estates. It is the furthest town from our Spalding office, at the eastern edge of the area we cover.
Pest problems around King's Lynn
The river, the docks and the drains leading to them give rats an easy route through the town. Gulls nest on flat roofs and chimneys across King's Lynn and become noisy and aggressive in the nesting season, and pigeons roost on the ledges of older buildings in the centre, where proofing has to be discreet. In the villages, rats and mice come in from the fields in autumn, and wasp nests are a common call in late summer.
Homes and buildings in King's Lynn
The old town, around the Tuesday Market Place, the Saturday Market Place and the quays, has medieval and Georgian buildings, many of them listed. Pigeon proofing there has to be agreed with the building in mind, using fixings and netting that are hard to see from the street. The terraces of North Lynn and South Lynn have older shared drains, a common way in for rats, while the estates at the Woottons and Gaywood back onto woodland and fields.
West of the river, West Lynn, Clenchwarton, Terrington St Clement and the Walpoles are Marshland villages set among orchards and arable farms, closer in character to the Lincolnshire Fens than to the rest of Norfolk. They are the part of the Lynn area nearest to us, and the work there is mostly rats and mice around homes and farm buildings, wasp nests, moles and cluster flies.
