At night, when everything is quiet and people enjoy their well-deserved sleep, it’s the time for a small, agile predator. The nocturnal marten is a predator and an omnivore. If it exclusively uses the outdoor area of the property for its hunting activities, it provides good service in deterring rats and mice. <\/p>

However, if it enters the house \u2013 preferring attics \u2013 marks vehicles, and bites insulation, cables, and seals, it becomes a problem. This is where professional marten control, like the service we offer, can help. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

How do you know a marten is causing trouble?<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Martens are rarely seen. The animal is shy and avoids human contact. The droppings a marten leaves behind and the noises it makes during its nocturnal activities in the attic are easier to detect. At the latest, when unpleasant odors, loose insulation, and gnawed cables are discovered during an inspection of the attic and car, it’s time to intervene. If it starts to ‘haunt’ your attic, you should contact a specialist. We at Defensia can quickly tell you if the nocturnal noises are from a marten and help you with marten control. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t

Why is timely marten control important?<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Martens destroy insulation on roofs and vehicles. In the worst case, vehicle cables can be so severely damaged that it leads to vehicle fires. Holes in roof insulation, dislodged roof tiles, and leaks are all attributable to martens. The resulting costs are high. If the building and car are part of the marten’s territory, it will mark them with urine and feces. The odor nuisance is unpleasant. Food scraps stored by the marten attract other pests, such as flies and rats, and are unappetizing and hazardous to health. <\/p>

As a professional company, Defensia Pest Control takes care of removing unpleasant droppings as part of its marten control service.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

How can Defensia Pest Control help you?<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Our company is experienced in marten control. Martens are subject to hunting laws, and not everyone is permitted to hunt them. Setting traps is only allowed for approved companies that meet hunting law requirements and are authorized by hunters. Hunting regulations, including breeding and closed seasons, and animal welfare rules must be observed. <\/p>

Defensia Pest Control does not catch martens with traps but uses suitable deterrents for marten control. We make your house an undesirable place for martens to stay. <\/p>

As a specialized company, we inspect your attic and identify where the marten has its sleeping areas, entry points, feeding spots, and latrine. Martens establish separate areas for eating and for depositing feces and urine. <\/p>

We block entry points and secure your attic against re-entry. Removing droppings and existing scent marks is part of marten control and our service. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
