Services
Commercial Pest Control
Tailored pest control solutions for commercial premises requiring high-standard hygiene compliance. Our service includes risk assessments, monitor placement, and detailed reporting to meet audit requirements. We specialise in environments where pest contamination could have critical consequences, including food manufacturing facilities and pharmaceutical sites.
Pest Control Heat Treatment
Non-chemical pest eradication using controlled heat application. This method effectively eliminates stored product insects in manufacturing equipment while maintaining operational integrity. Treatments reach 52C for complete insect lifecycle destruction, with real-time temperature monitoring and post-treatment reporting.
Pest Fumigation Services
Comprehensive fumigation solutions for warehouses, agricultural facilities, and shipping containers. We use phosphine gas and controlled atmosphere technology to eliminate pests in food commodities. Services include pre-shipment treatments, container certification, and compliance with organic standards.
Bird Pest Control
Specialist bird control services addressing health risks from pigeon infestations. Our solutions include proofing installations, guano removal, and disease prevention measures. We provide both one-off treatments and ongoing maintenance contracts for commercial properties.
Pest Control Reporting
Advanced reporting system combining on-site documentation with digital Checkweb access. Our reports include risk assessments, treatment records, and trending analysis to support integrated pest management systems. Documentation meets requirements for BRC, FDA, and other regulatory audits.
