Mice
A mice infestation, whether at your home or business, can be quite alarming. These rodents are notorious for spreading diseases as they scavenge for food and shelter, which can pose significant health hazards, especially in areas like kitchens and food storage spaces. They also tend to breed rapidly, which aggravates the issue at an exponential rate.
Damage Property: Mice constantly gnaw on materials, leading to structural damage. The pathogens present in their faeces and urine can contaminate food, leading to disease transmission, and their attraction to wood and electrical wiring can potentially result in fire hazards. 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.
Rats are capable of damaging property through their relentless gnawing. Gnawed wires, contaminated food, structural damage—it’s a nightmare no one wants to live through. These pathogens can transmit serious diseases such as Rat bite fever and Weil’s disease.
Our company provides effective and personalised treatments to get rid of rodents from your premises. And rather than simply getting rid of the current problem, we work to prevent future ones. From professional advice to sealing up entry points, we’ve got your back.
To prevent future infestations, we also provide expert prevention advice and can seal entry points, such as holes or air vents, with meshing for an additional fee. So for an additional charge, we can proof holes or install mesh over air vents to prevent another infestation. Our goal is to provide you with a comprehensive solution that not only addresses your current problem but also helps prevent future ones.
Fleas
Fleas are not just a problem for pet owners. Even if you do not have pets, you might find yourself dealing with a flea problem if the previous owners of your property 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.
Itchy bites, restless pets, and the constant worry of these pests spreading throughout your home are just a few issues you’ll face when fleas invade your home. Our trained professionals understand the habits of different types of fleas and can offer a solution tailored to your situation and environment.
Bedbug Control Services
Bed bugs are small, flat, oval insects about 5mm long, roughly the size of an apple seed. 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 expert team will thoroughly assess your property to identify and document the extent of the bed bug infestation. Based on this assessment, we provide the most effective pest control treatment to ensure your space becomes bug-free. Our technicians offer professional bed bug control using insecticide chemical treatments with residual spray for lasting protection.
Ants
Our BPCA-certified technicians have a deep understanding of ant behaviour. Forget those DIY ant traps and sprays that barely make a dent. 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
Dealing with cockroaches can be quite tricky. They’re not picky eaters, crawling through filth and then traipsing across your surfaces. That’s how they spread nasty diseases like salmonella and dysentery. Exposure to cockroaches has even been linked to increases in eczema and asthma due to their droppings.
Cockroaches are resilient insects, and their rapid breeding makes professional treatment essential to control an infestation. We know precisely how to eliminate these stubborn invaders. We’ll assess your specific situation and develop a targeted treatment plan that eliminates the current infestation and helps prevent future ones.
Pest Control Guidelines That Can Leave Your Own Home Pest Free
Any unwanted animal which has invaded your home is considered a pest, but homeowners most frequently complain about bugs, rodents and squirrels. 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. However, most humans are unwilling to accept sharing their home with unwanted creatures. Their existence can cause unwanted stress and worry for the homeowner. Therefore, you need to be aware of how to secure your home against these animals. 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. One of the main attractions for animals is an easy source of food. They view your home as a place were they can go to escape the elements and feed themselves. If you can make it more difficult for them to find what they need, they will not come inside as often. Cleanliness will help to deter animals in search of food. Never leave dishes in the sink at night, and keep fruits and vegetables refrigerated rather than out on the counters. 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.
Making a clean home a priority will also deter another common pest; bugs. Ensure that any spills are mopped up straight away. Put used dishes in the dishwasher so that they are not left sitting out. Keep your floors and other surfaces dry to avoid attracting pests. Be careful to address any leaks and plumbing problems as soon as possible, in order to keep water loving bugs away.
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.
It is important to pick up around the outside of the house to discourage pests from nesting. Sweep up any plant and leaf debris, and never stack piles of wood near your house. Make sure that your pets are always clean so as to ensure that they do not bring unwanted “friends” in to your home.
All in all, keeping pests out of your home seems like a rather daunting task and may feel like you have to do a lot; however, following these tips will help make sure that there are no unwarranted guests making themselves comfortable in your home. Cleanliness is key, and if you are able to do that, the rest will fall into place.
