What is pest management?

We offer pest management services to businesses in the Rotherham area. This service helps prevent pest problems before they start, using a combination of techniques tailored to your premises.

What is pest management?

Pest management is a proactive approach that aims to prevent infestations. It uses a mix of methods, which may include:

  • regular inspections
  • pest identification
  • hygiene and cleaning measures
  • changes to how your premises are used
  • physical barriers or traps
  • biological controls
  • limited use of pesticides

This approach focuses on long-term solutions, not just short-term fixes.

How is this different from traditional pest control?

Pest management involves more collaboration between you and your pest control technician. Your active participation is key to making the programme work.

Will pesticides still be used?

Pesticides may be used as part of your pest management plan, but only when necessary. If they are used, it will be in a controlled and targeted way. Your technician will explain where and how they’ll be applied.
