Pest Control
Our comprehensive pest control services address infestations of insects, rodents, and birds for domestic and commercial clients. Using integrated pest management strategies, we prioritise safe, environmentally responsible methods while ensuring compliance with DEFRA and HSE regulations. With over 35 years of experience, our qualified technicians deliver tailored solutions to protect properties across Yorkshire.
Bird Netting Installation
Specialist bird netting installation prevents pest birds like pigeons from nesting on commercial and residential properties. Our humane solutions protect buildings from damage while adhering to safety standards. We install netting on industrial roofs, listed buildings, and solar panels, ensuring long-term protection against bird-related issues.
Pigeon Proofing
Pigeon proofing services include spike installation, netting, and deterrent systems to prevent nesting and droppings accumulation. We address pigeon issues on roofs, balconies, and solar panels, reducing health risks and structural damage. Our methods combine physical barriers with strategic placement for maximum effectiveness.
Fly Screen Installation
Fly screen installation creates effective barriers against flying insects while maintaining ventilation. Suitable for windows, doors, and vents, our screens prevent infestations in kitchens, restaurants, and warehouses. We provide durable, discreet solutions that enhance comfort without compromising hygiene standards.
Electric Fly Killer Installation
Electric fly killer units use UV light to attract and eliminate flying pests in commercial kitchens, healthcare facilities, and food processing plants. Strategically placed to maximise effectiveness, these devices complement hygiene protocols by reducing contamination risks from flies and other airborne insects.
