Services
Rodent Control
Our rodent control service addresses rat, mouse, and squirrel infestations through strategic baiting and exclusion techniques. With three-visit treatment programmes, we ensure complete eradication while implementing preventive measures. Our COSHH-compliant methods protect properties across residential and commercial sectors in East and West Sussex.
Bed Bug Extermination
Specialised bed bug treatments combine thermal remediation and residual insecticides for complete infestation elimination. Minimum three-visit protocols ensure all life stages are destroyed. We provide detailed aftercare guidance to prevent reinfestation in domestic and hospitality environments across Sussex.
Wasp Nest Removal
Professional wasp, hornet, and bee nest removal conducted with minimal environmental impact. Single-visit treatments use approved insecticides applied at optimal times for maximum effectiveness. We safely relocate honeybee colonies where possible to support pollinator conservation efforts.
Commercial Pest Management
Tailored maintenance contracts for Sussex businesses ensure compliance with food hygiene regulations. Services include scheduled inspections, rodent baiting, insect monitoring, and bird deterrent installation. We service restaurants, hotels, healthcare facilities, and industrial premises with documented COSHH compliance.
Weed Control
Approved herbicide treatments control weeds on driveways, patios, and paths for residential properties. Our Environment Agency-certified technicians apply glyphosate-based products at recommended concentrations, ensuring effective long-term vegetation control without damaging hard surfaces.
