Services
Rats & Mice Control
Our certified technicians implement industry-approved practices for safe rodent eradication. Using advanced proofing techniques for drains, vents, and entry points, we prevent re-infestation. Treatments include humane trapping and controlled baiting systems compliant with CRRU standards. With 15 years' experience, we address both seasonal and persistent infestations in residential and commercial properties.
Squirrel Control
Specialised in humane squirrel extraction from attics and eaves, our approach combines exclusion techniques and habitat modification. Technicians utilise approved deterrents and repair structural damage caused by nesting activities. We follow Wildlife Aware standards while ensuring buildings remain protected against future infestations through preventative sealing measures.
Cockroach Treatment
Targeted interventions for kitchen and food preparation areas using EPA-registered insecticides. Our technicians identify infestation sources and implement heat treatment alongside chemical control. The process includes thorough inspection of food storage areas and provision of hygiene recommendations to prevent recurrence. Compliant with SALSA and EHO food safety regulations.
Wasp Nest Removal
Professional wasp and hornet nest eradication using protective equipment and timed pesticide application. We prioritise high-risk locations near entry points and public areas. The service includes nest location identification, chemical treatment, and safe removal. Preventative measures are recommended for seasonal infestation prevention in domestic and commercial settings.
Commercial Pest Monitoring
Customised IPM programmes for food premises, healthcare facilities, and industrial sites. Includes monthly inspections, electronic fly unit maintenance, and pest activity reporting. Our BPCA-accredited service ensures compliance with EC 852/2004 hygiene regulations. Contracts feature 24-hour emergency response and proofing recommendations for long-term prevention.
