What is Pest Control?
What springs to mind when you hear the word pest? A mouse or rat that’s gnawed its way into your home looking for shelter? The family of gulls that appears to have set up home on your factory roof?
Pests are any insects, rodents, or birds that invade your home or business and cause damage to property, stock, and machinery, as well as posing a serious risk to health and safety.
Pest control is the prevention or removal of pests from your commercial property or home using deterrents, repellents, or other means of elimination.
Why would you consider Pest Control?
Nobody wants to share their home with pests that cause damage and carry diseases, and you certainly don’t want them on your business premises, especially if you own a café or restaurant and you have to abide by stringent food safety regulations. Pests can also be a real headache if you have a large commercial site, whether you’re having to pay expensive repair bills to rectify pest damage, or the presence of pests is causing a serious health and safety or damaging PR issue.

How do you remove any pests?
As each pest is different a specialise and unique service is provided by our specialist team. The team will carry out this process in the most human way.
Why are rats considered vermin?
Rats can carry pathogens that spread diseases that can affect humans. According to the CDC, rats can spread over 35 diseases – including Weil’s disease, Salmonella, Listeria, Monkeypox and more. Rats also damage property and gnaw and chew on electrical wires and other household objects to wear them down. When left to roam free, rats can cause serious structural damage to your home.
How can I be sure that rats are in my property?
The most tell-tale sign of rats is clustered faeces that are usually dark in colour and pellet-shaped. Chewed electric cables, woodwork or brick is another key sign, as rats are avid gnawers and can cause structural damage if left alone.
Why are birds considered vermin?
Birds are considered vermin for several reasons including their ability to spread diseases and damage properties.
Not unlike rats, birds can carry ectoparasites such as mites which can be transferred to humans and cause diseases such as E. Coli, Salmonella and Ornithosis.
While bird nests can dislodge roof tiles and leave debris in drains and gutters, their droppings are highly corrosive and can damage your home interiors. More so, bird nests attract other pests such as bird mites, fleas and textile beetles, meaning a bird problem can sometimes lead to further pest infestations.
What type of birds are considered vermin?
Feral pigeons, seagulls, house sparrows, collared doves and black-backed gulls are among the birds that are considered vermin.
