LOCAL PEST CONTROL
Pests within domestic properties are unsanitary, unpleasant, and often dangerous. Whether rats and mice have burrowed into your London property, bed bugs have invaded your rooms, or wasps are nesting within your external walls, the sooner you take action the better. London homes both old and new are at risk, with pests able to enter through minuscule cracks and holes.
Animals like mice and rats will quickly leave toxic bacteria through urine and droppings, which is especially dangerous within environments where food is prepared. Whether you are noticing the first signs of pest intrusion or are dealing with an infestation emergency, contact our team today for professional, thorough, and prompt service.

BED BUGS
The adult bed bug resembles a small brown disc, about 3.5mm long the size of a match head. It is wingless but has well developed legs meaning that it can crawl up most vertical surfaces.
The incidents of bed bugs are now much increased. They are often found in multi-occupancy buildings with rapid resident turnover, such as hostels, holiday camps and blocks of flats.
Wasps
Pest control experts say of the pests that come into our homes, workplaces and gardens, wasps should be one of the most feared.
This is with good reason – wasp stings hurt – furthermore if you’re allergic to the sting it can lead to anaphylactic shock and other medical conditions.
Getting rid of wasps doesn’t have to be difficult, however, as they can pack a punch with their sting it is worth seeking a pest control professional to help in tackling wasp nests.
MICE
The House Mouse, and sometimes the Long Tailed Field Mouse, seek the warmth and shelter of buildings for nesting sites and food. Their presence can usually be detected from sight dark coloured droppings or damage to food products, packaging or building fabric. Mice can also seriously damage water pipes, gas pipes and electric cables with many instances of electrical fires and floods attributed to them. They will also contaminate far more food than they consume and they are capable of carrying many diseases, particularly food poisoning.
RATS
Rats are distinguished from mice by their size; rats generally have bodies longer than 12 cm (5 inches). They will quickly overpopulate when they live in a place where they have no predators
COCKROACHES
Cockroaches will eat any sort of food and emerge from their inaccessible harbourages to forage, contaminating food, utensils and food preparation surfaces as they go. They taint food with an obnoxious smell and may be carriers of various diseases.
ANTS
Ants are highly organised social insects, with each nest being centred around one reproductive female; the queen and her sterile daughters; the workers. It is only the foraging workers that invade buildings in search of food, which they take back to their nest to feed the larvae and queen.
