Services
Pest Control
We eradicate pests including rats, mice, and squirrels using professional-grade rodenticides and trapping systems. Our BPCA-certified technicians conduct thorough site surveys to identify infestation sources, implement targeted treatments, and seal entry points. Services include three-visit programmes for domestic and commercial premises, ensuring long-term eradication while adhering to environmental regulations.
Falconry Bird Abatement
Our falconry team uses trained hawks and falcons to deter pest birds like pigeons and seagulls from urban and rural sites. GPS-tracked birds disrupt nesting patterns without harming wildlife, making this a humane, non-lethal solution. Tailored programmes include daily or weekly visits for industrial estates, farms, and high-rise buildings, with detailed post-visit reports provided.
Heavy Heat Treatment
This chemical-free method eradicates bedbugs, fleas, and mites by heating infested areas to 48C, killing pests at all life stages. The process takes 68 hours, allowing immediate reoccupation of treated spaces. Ideal for sensitive environments like hotels and homes, it eliminates the need for item disposal and reduces reinfestation risks.
Waste Drain Inspection
Using CCTV cameras, we diagnose drain blockages caused by pests or structural damage. Our engineers perform repairs ranging from drain bung replacements to full system overhauls, sealing rodent entry points. The 'inspect-clear-decontaminate-secure' process restores drainage functionality and prevents future infestations in domestic and commercial properties.
Property Maintenance
We offer proofing solutions against pest ingress, including eaves barriers, chimney covers, and drain replacements. Services extend to roof space clearance, contaminated waste removal, and licensed disposal. Our technicians ensure compliance with health and safety standards, providing free surveys and quotations for customised maintenance plans.
