Commercial Pest Control

We offer a wide range of pest control services to commercial premises in London. We are experts in ensuring safe working environments for staff and customers alike, tackling many types of pests. We’re proud to offer the finest commercial pest control solutions to help protect businesses across the capital.

Pest-free offices
  • Pest control issues in the workplace are highly distressing and highly disruptive. This is why we offer one-day treatments, which swiftly rid the premises of pests and ensures that you can return to running your business as usual as quickly as possible.  
  • We also provide a rodent proofing service; a one-off treatment that, once rats and mice have been removed from the premises, prevents them from returning. It involves a meticulous investigation of their access points and the most effective ways of blocking them. It’s a highly-recommended service that gives clients peace of mind.
  • Sometimes, one-off visits aren’t enough. It could be down to the location of your premises, or the nature of your business, or some other factor, but sometimes pests just keep returning. In which case, a fully comprehensive contract may be more appropriate. We’ll have regular visits scheduled and be at your beckoned call whenever the pests strike again.   
Schools and nurseries
  • Pest control is also a high priority for schools and nurseries. Since pests carry diseases and contaminate food and surfaces, children simply aren’t safe if they’re in a school that has a pest problem. 
  • A pest control contract with us will ensure that kitchen and canteen areas are regularly monitored and kept pest-free, as a matter of priority. However, pests aren’t just a problem where food is concerned, so we also assess the wider grounds of schools and nurseries to make sure that health and safety standards are met. This is the most effective way of keeping pests away. 
Warehouses
  • Warehouses are particularly vulnerable to pest infestations, both because of how they operate and how they’re built. Firstly, warehouses tend to receive a vast number of deliveries every single day, and deliveries carry a high risk of introducing pests to the area. Secondly, warehouses are huge spaces with stockpiles of tools, products, and more – offering plenty of places for pests to hide and thrive. Warehouses also tend to have more access points than most buildings, making it easy for pests to enter. 
  • Our commercial pest control service involves examining any weak spots and access points where pests may be entering the premises. We also carry out extensive proofing measures to minimise the risk of pests entering, and catching them if they still happen to gain access
Surgeries & Clinics
  • Hygiene is always important, but arguably nowhere more so than in hospitals, surgeries, and clinics. In such institutions, it is essential to closely monitor the presence of any pests, and deal with any infestation promptly. 
Shops and food premises

If your commercial premises is close to a number of other premises, especially those which serve food, then you’re at a high risk of developing a pest problem. This means that any pest infestation can spread like wildfire, with rats, mice, and other insects easily moving from one establishment to another through walls and pipework. If one restaurant or shop is overrun by pests, it’s almost certain that the adjacent premises will also be overrun before long. 

Service 1 : BEDBUG
01. BEDBUG

Bed bugs are not regarded as disease carriers, but their blood feeding can cause severe irritation in some people, resulting in loss of sleep, lack of energy and listlessness, particularly in children. Iron deficiency in infants has resulted from excessive feeding by bed bugs. The bite often gives rise to a hard, whitish swelling which distinguishes it from the flea bite which leaves a dark red spot surrounded by a reddened area. Different individuals react differently to bites, some gaining immunity.

02. BISCUIT BEETLE

Larval forms can cause considerable damage to keratin-containing products such as wool, fur, leather, silk and dried animal remains. Occasionally, food products of plant origin, such as cereals and fibres, will also be attacked. Damage takes the form of clean, irregular holes and in textiles these generally occur around seams. There is no webbing or excrement present and by the time larvae are observed, considerable damage has often been done. Because of the large number of larval moults, when cast larval skins are seen they tend to exaggerate the extent of the infestation. Carpet beetles are of limited significance as a health hazard, although they are potential vectors of anthrax. In certain situations the larval hairs cause skin irritation to those exposed to large numbers of the insects.

03. CONFUSED FLOUR BEETLE

Flour beetles are generally recognised as secondary pests of grain and therefore increase the feeding damage done by primary pests. When present in large numbers, flour beetles
will:
I) Cause flour to become prone to moulding and will also turn the product grey;
Il) Taint commodities with secretions from scent

04. GOLDEN SPIDER LARVAE BEETLE

Golden Spider Larvae Beetle and other insects are resistant to many chemicals, meaning heat treatments are often a far more effective method of eradication. Chemical insect and bed bug treatments can take several weeks, potentially months, to work and may require several treatments to completely remove an infestation.

05 . GROUND BEETLE

A fairly large (7-10mm) oval beetle, almost black but with a distinct pale band across the front of the wing-cases. The larvae are white after first hatching, but turn brown and are covered with tufts of bristly hair. 

>They grow to 10-12mm long and occasionally tunnel into soft wood to pupate. The life cycle takes about three months.
Both beetle and larvae are scavengers, feeding on scraps of food – especially ham, bacon or cheese, or on dead mice or birds. 
They often enter houses from old birds’ nests. One of a family called the Dermestid beetles, meaning “skin eaters”. Related species include the dark-brown Leather Beetle and the very similar Dermestes haemorrhoidalis, which perhaps not surprisingly has no English name.

06. STABLE FLY

We are certified and insured beyond the industry standard. Rarely is there a problem we have not seen before. We have several years of experience in dealing with fly pest control.

07. MOSQUITO

We are certified and insured beyond the industry standard. Rarely is there a problem we have not seen before. We have several years of experience in dealing with mosquito pest control.

08. MOUSE

Not only do mice spread diseases as they hunt for food and shelter, but their gnawing habits cause great damage to your home.

09. ORIENTAL COCKROACH

The cockroach is a large insect with long antennae and 2 pairs of wings. The most common cockroach in the London area are the German (15mm long) and the Oriental (up to 25mm in length). They breed rapidly, eat almost anything and will tolerate many different habitats. The average adult may live for up to six months.

10. PHAROES ANT

Ants are social insects and there are a number of different species to consider. The most common types here in the UK are Garden or Black Ant (lasius niger) and the Pharaoh Ant (monomorium pharaonis).

11. PIGEON

Pigeons are London’s most common bird pest. They are known to carry several, potentially infectious, diseases, including ornithosis, tuberculosis, salmonella, as well as allergens which can be detrimental to human health.

12. RATS

The rat has plagued humans for thousands of years – the rat flea was responsible for the Black Death. 
There are two species of rat in Britain, Rattus norvegicus which is commonly known as the Brown Rat and Rattus rattus which has the common names Black Rat or Ship Rat.
The Brown Rat is the larger, often weighing over half a kilo and measuring about 23cm, without counting the tail. It has a blunt muzzle, small hair-covered ears and a tail that is shorter than its body length. The Black Rat weighs only half as much and is slightly shorter. It has a pointed muzzle, large, almost hairless ears, a more slender body and a long thin tail that is longer than its body.
The Brown Rat is the commoner species and stays near ground level. The Black Rat still occurs in seaport towns and is a more agile climber, often entering the upper floors of buildings. It is possible to identify the species present from the different shaped droppings, footprints in dust (the Brown Rat is flat footed, the Black Rat runs on its toes) and presence of tail swipes. In towns, Brown Rats often live in sewers but in the countryside there is a constant background population in fields and hedges.

13. SILVERFISH

Silverfish are commonly found across London. They prefer damp and humid areas, so bathrooms and kitchens are target areas for these pests.

14. VARIED CARPET BEETLE

Larval forms can cause considerable damage to keratin-containing products such as wool, fur, leather, silk and dried animal remains. Occasionally, food products of plant origin, such as cereals and fibres, will also be attacked. Damage takes the form of clean, irregular holes and in textiles these generally occur around seams. There is no webbing or excrement present and by the time larvae are observed, considerable damage has often been done. Because of the large number of larval moults, when cast larval skins are seen they tend to exaggerate the extent of the infestation. Carpet beetles are of limited significance as a health hazard, although they are potential vectors of anthrax. In certain situations the larval hairs cause skin irritation to those exposed to large numbers of the insects.

15. WASP

Our wasp treatments are dealt with a ‘one-off ‘ visit. After the nest has been treated keep well away for at least an hour and exercise caution until all activity has ceased. The entire nest can take up to 48 hours to be completely eradicated. Wasps are reasonably beneficial to us in the early stages of a nest development by destroying common garden pests (greenfly etc); this aids the growth of the nest. It is autumn before they become a real pest when the redundant workers go in search of sugary foods and fruit. There are 6 species of wasps found in the UK but only two enter buildings.

The nests are built of a papery like substance, made when the workers mix wood scraped from trees, fence panels etc, with saliva.
