Fast, effective, and discreet pest removal for homes and businesses in Ely (CB6, CB7), Littleport, and Soham.
Ely is one of the most beautiful historic cities in East Anglia, but its unique geography—surrounded by fens and the River Great Ouse—makes it a prime location for pest activity. Whether you own a period property near the Cathedral, a riverside home dealing with water rats, or a new-build in the expanding North Ely developments, pest issues can cause significant damage and stress.
Newmarket Pest Solutions is your local specialist team. Based just a short drive down the A142, we provide fast, professional pest control to Ely and the surrounding fenland villages every day. We are not a national franchise; we are local experts who understand how to protect Ely’s historic buildings from rodent damage and keep its modern homes wasp-free.
If you have discovered scratching noises in the loft, a wasp nest in the eaves, or molehills ruining your lawn, you need a rapid response. We offer same-day or next-day appointments to identify the source of the problem and resolve it permanently.
Our Specialist Services in Ely
We specialise strictly in the pests that cause the most damage to Cambridgeshire properties. We do not use “one size fits all” treatments. Instead, we use targeted, professional methods designed to solve specific infestations in the fenland environment.
Rat & Mouse Control (Riverside & Historic)
Ely’s proximity to the waterways means that Rats are a consistent issue, particularly for properties near the river or those connected to older Victorian drainage systems. As the weather turns colder, rats and mice seek warmth, often climbing drainpipes or finding gaps in brickwork to enter lofts and wall cavities.
A rodent infestation is a serious threat to your property. Rodents chew through electrical wiring, posing a fire risk, and can damage plastic water pipes, leading to leaks.
Our Rat & Mouse Control service is a comprehensive solution:
Detailed Survey: We don’t just put down poison. We inspect your property—checking air bricks, drain lines, and roof verges—to find exactly how they are getting in.
Targeted Treatment: We use professional-grade rodenticides and traps that are far more potent and effective than DIY store-bought products.
Proofing Strategy: Once the infestation is cleared, we advise on “proofing” work (blocking holes, capping drains) to ensure your home remains secure against future intruders.
Wasp Nest Removal in Ely
Wasp nests are a frequent summer problem in Ely. The mix of high historic roofs and garden structures provides ideal nesting sites. A nest can grow rapidly, becoming a danger to your family and neighbours.
If you spot a nest, do not attempt to treat it yourself. Wasps can be incredibly aggressive if their home is threatened.
We offer a fast, fixed-price Wasp Nest Removal service.
Specialist Access: We use telescopic lances to inject professional insecticidal dust directly into the nest entrance. This allows us to treat nests in high eaves or roof tiles safely from the ground, often without ladders.
Fast Results: The treatment usually neutralises the colony within a few hours.
Guaranteed: If the nest is still active 24 hours after our visit, we will return to treat it again for free.
Grey Squirrel Control
Ely’s mature trees and parks make it a haven for Grey Squirrels. While they are a common sight outdoors, they are highly destructive if they force their way into your attic. They are known for tearing up insulation for bedding and chewing through structural roof timbers.
Our Squirrel Control service focuses on humane trapping and removal to clear your roof void. Crucially, once the squirrels are gone, we help you identify the entry points (often rot in fascias or soffits) so they can be repaired.
Mole Control Services
The rich fen soil surrounding Ely and villages like Haddenham and Stretham is perfect for moles. A single mole can destroy a lawn, paddock, or cricket pitch in days, creating uneven ground and unsightly hills.
We provide traditional Mole Control services using professional traps placed deep within the tunnel network.
Chemical Free: We do not use gasses or poisons, protecting the soil ecology.
Discreet: The traps are underground and invisible.
Reliable: This is the most effective method for removing “problem moles” from residential gardens and commercial grounds.
Commercial Pest Management
Protecting Ely’s Businesses
Ely is a thriving hub of cafes, restaurants, and independent shops. For any business, a pest sighting can be disastrous—leading to negative reviews, fines, or closure by Environmental Health.
We offer discreet, contract-based pest management for Ely businesses.
Restaurant & Retail: We protect food preparation areas from mice and cockroaches (monitoring only), ensuring you meet all hygiene compliance standards.
Warehousing: We support businesses in the Lancaster Way Business Park with rodent control to protect stock and infrastructure.
Discretion: We can visit outside of opening hours and use unbranded vehicles to ensure your customers remain unaware of any pest prevention measures.
Safety: Protecting Your Family & Pets
We know that for families in Ely, safety is the primary concern when calling a pest controller. You want the pests gone, but you need to know your children and pets are safe.
Newmarket Pest Solutions prioritises safety above all else:
Tamper-Resistant Equipment: For rodent treatments, we use heavy-duty, locking bait stations that cannot be opened by children, dogs, or cats.
Site Assessment: Before laying any treatment, we conduct a risk assessment. If you have a curious dog or a free-roaming cat, we will adapt our methods to suit your household.
Clear Instructions: We leave you with clear, written advice on what to do after the treatment (e.g., keeping pets away from a treated wasp nest for a few hours).
