Hi The lady I spoke to initially was very kind and helpful. Gareth, my pest control technician, was knowledgable, reassuring and amicable. This was just what I needed in those circumstances. He had a very good all important attitude. He is an asset to your company. Would definitely use Pest Control.co.uk again and would recommend to others.

23rd February 2021
Very good, very knowledgeable, very effective. Even promised he'd come back for free if there was another problem! Great service.

We found Darren an extremely helpful, knowledgeable and efficient person. His friendly manner put us at ease which we appreciated. We have not had a recurrence of the problem since his last visit but would not hesitate to call him again should another problem arise.

7th February 2021
We were really happy with the service! Called the number and within the hour Leon arrived and had removed the nest! He was a really nice guy, super knowledgable, answered our questions and taught us a little bit about wasps which we really appreciated. We then contacted our surveyors who had missed the nest when we bought our house and Leon was all too happy to be contacted, provide evidence and give testimony with his expert opinion. This led to the surveyors accepting responsibility and refunding us for the cost of the removal (which was cheap anyway!). Really couldn't recommend them enough. Great jo

I found DAvid Lanes extremely helpful in sorting my problem out and would have no hesitation in giving him five stars, efficient,polite and recommended the necessary treatment and helping me deal with the Chairman who has always blamed me for our problem, it wasn’t so the Management had to concede.

Leon from Pest Control is just the greatest! I rang him on 16.12.20, he came out today, 17.12.20 and within 5 minutes of laying and setting the traps he had caught a rat! Fantastic service. He’s thoughtful and considerate and gives good solid advice regarding pest control. Definitely worthy of more than 5 stars. Thank you Leon for your efficient and prompt service.

17th December 2020
Very satisfied with work carried out. Thank you.

17th December 2020
The technical was very thorough dealing with our mouse problem. He put a number of bait trays and bags in our kitchen, lounge and loft. Sure enough when he returned two weeks later the mice were gone. Worth every penny (£164) to have a professional service. Will use them in the future.

14th December 2020
David was great. He came around very quickly and identified the problem immediately. ( I had gaps in the wall into our house that rats were getting through) He told me what to do and put down some bait in the drains to see if they were getting through there too. They were and he came back the day I called him, to put valves on the drain openings. He was calm and competent and made me feel like the rats were something that could be dealt with without fuss. Great.

12th December 2020
Thankyou for a wonderful quick service and for all the advice to get though this situation hope we never get it again but if we did I would not hesitate to call and use them again

12th December 2020

1st December 2020
Although it required a third application, we seem to be completely clear., at this stage. Your brief warns that it may take some time to determine if it has been completely successful, so we are still somewhat apprehensive about that!

Food Preparation

Two chefs working in a commercial kitchen.

It is a legal requirement that businesses involved in food preparation have a pest control system in place. PestControl.co.uk offers an expert service, including the use of field biologists, to make sure you are doing everything possible to keep your property pest free and remain in compliance with the law.

Pest Prevention

There are a number of pests that pose a health and safety risk for food preparation areas. These include rats, mice and cockroaches. However studies have shown that the biggest threat is posed by flying insects.

There are a number of pest control measures which can be taken in food preparation areas to reduce the likelihood of a pest infestation. These include:

General hygiene. First and foremost the area should be hygienic. This involves a regular cleaning regime and proper disposal of refuse. Making sure that bin bags are placed in bins both inside and outside for instance, as rodents could chew through exposed plastic bags.
Proofing. Proper insect and rodent proofing is another essential aspect of a pest control system. This involves making sure any cracks or holes in exterior walls are filled in, and that doors and windows have appropriate screens installed.
Building maintenance. Pests will not only be attracted to sources of food, but to water as well. That is why it is important you do not suffer from leaking pipes, blocked drains or anything else that will create sources of water for pests.

As part of the service from PestControl.co.uk our field biologists and pest control technicians will survey your property for conditions that could cause a problem. We will then create a report, and advise you on how to resolve any issues. The pest control operative will then carry out the necessary steps to make your food preparation area safe.

What to do if you have a Pest Infestation

There are a number of signs of a pest infestation that can be spotted before you actually see a pest on your property. For instance you may find droppings, dead pests, or gnawing of wood or wires (rodents).

If you do suspect that you have a pest control problem, please get in touch as soon as possible. We are available 24 hours a day and can guarantee a quick response. Our pest control operatives will be able to offer a fast and discreet service, getting rid of the pests as soon as possible and removing the conditions that led to them in the first place.
