Pest Control Services in Bishop’s Stortford
We provide one-off treatments for individual infestations as well as ongoing pest-management support for landlords and commercial premises. The following are among the most common problems we handle.
Rat and Mouse Control
Rats and mice may damage food packaging, insulation, timber and electrical wiring. Our rat treatment packages and mouse-control service include an inspection, targeted treatment and advice on entry points and prevention.
Where rats repeatedly return, the source may be connected to damaged drains, manholes or sewer pipework. Rob’s drainage experience allows us to investigate these problems, and a CCTV drainage survey is available where required.
Wasp Nest Treatment
Repeated wasp activity around a roofline, loft, shed, garage or garden structure may indicate an active nest. Our wasp nest treatment is designed to control the colony using professional equipment. Do not disturb or block a suspected nest entrance, as this can increase the risk of stings or force wasps to find another route.
Bed Bugs Fleas Moths and Ants
We provide targeted treatments for biting and fabric-damaging insects in homes, rental accommodation and businesses. Our services include bed bug treatment, flea control, moth treatment and ant control. We inspect likely harbourage or nesting areas and explain any preparation needed before treatment.
Squirrel and Mole Control
Squirrels can cause extensive damage after entering a loft or roof space, while moles may disrupt lawns and landscaped areas. We assess the activity and recommend an appropriate control programme, followed by practical prevention advice where suitable.
Pigeon and Bird Proofing
Pigeons can create fouling, noise and maintenance problems around roofs, ledges and commercial buildings. Our pigeon-control service includes humane proofing and deterrent options selected for the property and access requirements.
Commercial Pest Control
We support shops, offices, restaurants, cafes, warehouses, schools, landlords and other organisations in Bishop’s Stortford. Services can include a one-off treatment or scheduled visits for businesses that require routine monitoring, documented recommendations and ongoing prevention support.
