Pest Inspection Services
Our BPCA-certified field biologists conduct comprehensive pest inspections for food production facilities and healthcare providers. These quarterly inspections identify pest activity levels, evaluate current control measures, and recommend prevention strategies. The service includes detailed reporting with actionable recommendations to maintain pest-free conditions and meet health inspector requirements.
Electric Fly Killers
We supply and install high-efficiency electric fly killers using UV light and glue board technology. Our range includes models suitable for areas from 60 to 360 square meters. These units effectively reduce flying insect populations in commercial kitchens, food production facilities, and public spaces while maintaining food safety standards.
Solar Panel Bird Proofing
Professional installation of bird deterrent systems for solar panels using mesh, spikes, and repellent gel. This prevents birds from nesting beneath panels, protecting against damage to wiring and reduced efficiency from droppings. Our technicians ensure solutions don't void manufacturer warranties while maintaining roof safety standards.
Loft Insulation Replacement
Complete removal and disposal of contaminated loft insulation followed by installation of new material. This service addresses rodent or pigeon infestation damage, eliminating health risks from pathogens in droppings. We use biocidal sprays for decontamination and ensure proper ventilation during the process.
Bed Bug Treatment
Comprehensive bed bug treatment using heat treatments and monitoring systems. Our BPCA-certified technicians implement integrated pest management strategies combining mattress encasements, targeted insecticide application, and follow-up inspections. We provide prevention advice and guarantee results for complete eradication.
