Pest management for your business

What is pest management?

Pest management is a service we offer to businesses in the Rotherham area.

It is a process that anticipates and prevents pest activity and infestation by the use of two or more techniques, such as inspection, identification, hygiene, cultural, mechanical, biological and/or the use of pesticides, to achieve long term solutions.

How is this different from traditional pest control?

It employs an approach that requires more participation by the owner to achieve long-term pest control.

Your responsibility as a business

Your continuous involvement and participation are needed to implement your pest control technician's recommendations for an effective programme.

Habitat modification

Buildings have different microhabitats which provide food, water, and harbourage for pests. Decreasing the availability of suitable habitats for pest and denying access into the building may control infestations.

Does it eliminate the use of pesticides?

An effective programme may include the use of pesticides but the amount needed will likely be reduced. The appropriate use and application of pesticides are stringently controlled and will vary according to circumstances. Your pest control technician will tell you where and how pesticides will be applied in or near the building.

What to expect from us

  • Contracts for businesses are set up to suit your needs
  • All other pests not covered by your contract will be charged at a reasonable price
  • All treatments are carried out by fully qualified officers
  • A quick response for eradication and control of pests
  • A fixed charge for the control of most pests.

Pest management service uses unmarked vehicles to ensure discretion at all times.
