Pest UK

As we are one of the smaller members of the BPCA (British Pest Control Association), we are able to offer customers all the accompanying benefits of membership, but at a much-reduced rate. Our company is fully insured and uses only the most up-to-date biodegradable insecticides and poisons. All our technicians are BPCA/ADAS certified. We were able to send an e-mail photo of the insects and Scott Hyslop of Pestuk e-mailed us back very quickly telling us that they were grain weevils and knowing this we realised where they were nesting and therefore we were able to clear the infestation ourselves.

Food premises need to be kept as hygienic and sterile as possible in order to reduce the risks of contamination, and the potential for causing illness and worse in clients and customers - not to mention the financial devastation from possible law suits. Food premises where pests have caused problems can find themselves suffering the consequences long after the problem has been solved. Restaurants, Cafes, Coffee shops and Take-Aways should all have reliable, regular contracts in place. Cutting costs on pest control contracts can have serious consequences.

A Pest Control Contract is not expensive. Not only will it protect the health and safety of your employees, it will also protect your reputation. Most prosecutions happen to smaller companies. Remove the worry and leave pest control in the hands of experts.

If you have a bee nest you will probably see bees entering a hole in the ground or in a wall or roof. Where they nest often depends on species. It may not be necessary to destroy the nest. It may be possible in some cases to remove the nest, but this is rare.

Honey Bees: A honey bee nest will have thousands of bees and they will swarm around the entrance of the nest, this is commonly in chimneys but they will use any cavity.

If you have a cockroach problem you will see dead & alive cockroaches. Usually in kitchens or rooms with boilers &/or electrical devices such as fridges or cookers.

Due to this they are most commonly found in kitchens, laundry rooms, boiler rooms & anywhere where high temperatures occur.

Bed bugs bite at night. The bite marks will depend on the reaction of the person being bitten, as with Fleas & other biting insects different people may react in a different way and at a different time to others. Bites are usually on areas of the body that stick out the bed covers. Bed bugs are very much visible to the eye. In most bed bug infestations bed bugs will not be seen, the only evidence being the bites. You cannot feel bed bugs crawling on your skin the only thing you will feel will be the result of the bite long after the bed bug has crawled home!

Although pest control contracts are usually considered for commercial premises, they can be useful for domestic or residential properties too. Particularly large properties, with extensive grounds and horses, chickens or other livestock may benefit from regular inspections. A domestic pest control contract can also provide peace of mind for holiday homes which may be empty for extended periods.
