Locating points of ingress
We have a detailed understanding of pest behaviour, including common entry points into properties and buildings.
Using professional detection equipment such as drain cameras, we are able to accurately identify how pests are gaining access and resolve the issue at its source.


Proofing works
Prevention is key to achieving a long-term solution to any pest problem.
Proofing involves physically preventing pests from entering your property or surrounding areas. This can include sealing entry points, installing barriers and using materials suited to the specific issue.
Examples of proofing works
Our experience in the building trade gives us a strong advantage when carrying out proofing works.
We carefully select the most effective methods and materials for each situation to ensure a durable, long-term solution.


Rodents (Rats, Mice & Squirrels)
We provide effective proofing solutions to prevent rats, mice and squirrels from entering homes and outbuildings.
This includes sealing entry points with the most appropriate materials and installing rat valves in drainage systems to prevent access through pipes.
Birds
We provide effective bird proofing solutions including spikes, netting, bird wire, mesh and bird gel to prevent nesting and roosting on your property.


Methods of control
We assess each situation carefully before deciding on the most effective method of control.
Depending on the type and severity of the infestation, we may use traps, proofing techniques or professional treatments to resolve the problem safely and efficiently.
Rodents (Rats, Mice & Squirrels)
We carry out a full assessment before selecting the most appropriate treatment for your rodent problem.
Where possible, we prioritise non-chemical methods such as traps. However, we also use professional rodenticides where necessary, always in accordance with CRRU guidelines.


Insects
We provide effective insect control solutions, including fly screening and electronic fly killers (EFKs), to help manage and reduce infestations.
Where required, we use professional insecticides in a range of formulations, carefully selected to target the specific pest.
