Sean Kennell

Senior Pest Control Technician · Northwood

Sean has more than 25 years of international pest control experience behind him, much of it relevant to Northwood's affluent detached homes and their large gardens. He regularly deals with mole activity on the expansive lawns along the golf-course frontage and Green Lane, and with squirrels exploiting cavity-wall gaps on Northwood's older properties near mature tree cover. Sean also works with private clinics and schools around Northwood to keep audit-ready treatment records in place, giving compliance teams the documented history their own inspections expect.

Rat Control in Northwood

Rats breed rapidly, contaminate food and surfaces, and gnaw through wiring and pipes. A rat infestation poses serious health risks and can cause structural damage if left untreated.

In Northwood: Rats move along golf-course boundaries and woodland fringe into Northwood gardens and outbuildings, so we proof the garden line as well as the house.

How we control it

  • Tamper-resistant baiting
  • Snap & break-back trapping
  • Entry-point proofing

Seasonal pressure

When pests are worst in Northwood

Pest control in Northwood works best when it’s timed to the local calendar. Here’s what our technicians see through the year, and the month to book each job so a small problem never becomes an infestation.

  1. 01Pest pressure in Northwood

    Spring (Mar–May)

    • Ants
    • Wasp queens
    • Birds

    Wasp queens leave hibernation to start new nests in lofts and eaves, garden ants begin flying, and gulls and pigeons claim nesting ledges. Proofing roofs around Gatehill Road before nests establish is the cheapest fix of the Northwood year.

  2. 02Pest pressure in Northwood

    Summer (Jun–Aug)

    • Wasps
    • Flies
    • Bed bugs
    • Fleas

    Peak callout season in Northwood. Wasp nests reach full size, flies breed in bins within hours, and holiday travel pushes bed bug reports up sharply in flats and rentals around Sandy Lodge.

Sean Kennell of Service Giant has been very good and helpful in sorting out the issue of rat activity in our top floor loft storage space. Rodenticide bait was placed at various locations to control the rats and has worked so far since 26/03/25 and we're very satisfied with the professional work done. Well done Sean.
