Mice
Finding out you have a mice infestation in your home or business can be quite distressing. These pests are not only a nuisance but also a health hazard, particularly in kitchens and food storage areas, where they can spread diseases while searching for food and shelter. Think contaminated food, gnawed-on wires, and a potential for disease transmission.
Mice gnaw constantly, which can result in property damage. Contaminate Food: Their urine and faeces can carry pathogens that contaminate food and surfaces. Pose Fire Risks: They are attracted to wood and electrical wiring, increasing the risk of fires.
Rats
Rats are another type of rodent that shows an unwavering determination when it comes to infiltrating properties, to the point of even chewing through brick. And once they’re in? It’s not just about the creepy factor—they bring disease, destruction, and contamination with them.
Imagine your home or business turned into a rat’s playground. Contaminate Food, Rat droppings and urine carry pathogens that can spread diseases such as (Leptospirosis), and Salmonellosis. These pathogens can transmit serious diseases such as Rat bite fever and Weil’s disease.

Fleas
Fleas are a frequent issue in UK homes, particularly those with pets. Even if you don’t have pets, you might still encounter a flea problem if previous owners had cats or dogs. Fleas can also hitch a ride on other furry animals such as rabbits, foxes, squirrels, rats, mice, and livestock like pigs. They can also transmit diseases and cause allergic reactions in both animals and humans.
We provide safe and effective treatments for your property to ensure complete eradication of your flea infestation. Our trained professionals understand the habits of different types of fleas and can offer a solution tailored to your situation and environment.
Bed bugs
Bed bugs are small, flat, oval critters about the size of an apple seed, but they can be just as infuriating. They feed on the blood of humans and animals, most commonly at night, making them unpleasant house guests if they make it into your house or property.
Our team conducts a thorough assessment of the entire property to identify and document evidence of the bedbug infestation. Based on this assessment, we provide the most effective pest control treatment to ensure your space becomes bug-free. Our goal is to ensure your home or property is completely free of these unwelcome pests.

We’re talking professional-grade treatments that get to the root of the problem. And more than just getting rid of the ants you see, we stop them from coming back. So say goodbye to those unwanted houseguests and reclaim your space—we’ve got the ant know-how to make it happen.
Cockroaches
Uncovering a cockroaches infestation in your home or business premises can be highly unsettling. These pests are known to carry and spread diseases like Dysentery, Salmonella, and Gastroenteritis, posing a significant health hazard. Even their droppings aren’t innocent. They can trigger asthma and allergies.
Cockroaches are incredibly tough to eliminate on your own. Their rapid breeding cycle means a small problem can quickly get out of your hands. Our team will be able to provide customised, targeted treatments to ensure the complete eradication of your cockroach problem.
Keeping Your House Free From Unwanted Pests
Cockroaches, rodents, squirrels, insects, bugs and other unwelcome visitors who invite themselves into your home are all pests. As humans, we often forget that we are not the only ones living in this world and could possibly be the ones invading their space or environment. While they certainly have their role in the circle of life, that does not mean that we want to be graced with their presence. Their existence can cause unwanted stress and worry for the homeowner. It is important to figure out how to keep these pests from coming inside. The following information will help you to keep pests at bay and live a bug-free life.
If you want your home to stay pest free, you must not give the pests a reason to move in. Pests, just like all living things, get hungry too and will always be out there looking for something to eat. They may also be motivated by a warm, dry place to shelter, particularly during the cold winter months. If you can address these two factors, it is far less likely you will develop a pest problem. Cleanliness is therefore very important to this process. Items should be kept in secure packaging and storage containers, in either a refrigerator or kitchen cupboard. When you make a meal, pack it away in an air tight container almost immediately after enjoying it. It is important that you do not leave any food sources available for them to want to come in. This way, you will be able to greatly reduce the rate and chances of pests invading your home.
Keeping pests at bay is often as easy as making sure that your home is clean. keep your floors clean and wipe away all spills as soon as they happen. This is particularly important with liquids such as sugary drinks, as insects are attracted to the sugar. Keep your floors and other surfaces dry to avoid attracting pests. In addition, if you notice a leak, make sure the situation is rectified.
5 out of 5 stars
Animals often enter homes when the seasons change and the weather turns cooler. If you are vigilant for potential entry points, they will not be able to do this. Use sealant or caulk to close any crevices in your property’s exterior.
A tidy outside space will also deter animals. Sweep up any plant and leaf debris, and never stack piles of wood near your house. Make sure your pet is treated for fleas and ticks so that they do not become a host for these little creatures.
It is possible for you to enjoy a relatively pest-free existence if you follow the advice found in this article and remain vigilant about taking care of your home. Cleanliness is key, and if you are able to do that, the rest will fall into place.
