Treatment and prevention of rat and mouse infestations. Includes identifying entry points, setting bait stations, trapping, and proofing to prevent re-entry. Rodents carry diseases and can cause significant property damage by gnawing through cables and pipes.
Treatment for all common insect pests including wasps, ants, fleas, bed bugs, cockroaches, moths, and beetles. Methods vary from targeted spraying and fogging to heat treatments, depending on the species and severity.
Safe removal or treatment of wasp and hornet nests in lofts, walls, sheds, and gardens. Wasp nests should never be disturbed without professional treatment, as wasps become aggressive when threatened.
Ongoing pest management contracts for restaurants, food businesses, offices, and warehouses. Includes regular inspections, preventive treatments, documentation for food hygiene audits, and rapid response to issues.
These are the most frequently requested jobs in pest control. Knowing what to expect helps you communicate clearly with professionals.
The most common pest callout. Signs include droppings, gnaw marks, scratching sounds, and greasy marks along walls. Professional treatment involves baiting, trapping, and proofing entry points. Most infestations are resolved within 2-4 weeks.
Very common in summer months. A pest controller injects insecticidal powder into the nest, which kills the colony within 24-48 hours. The nest can then be left in place as wasps will not reuse it. Treatment takes about 30 minutes.
Bed bugs are notoriously difficult to eliminate without professional treatment. Requires thorough inspection, targeted insecticide application, and often a follow-up visit. Heat treatment is the most effective method for severe infestations.
Common in homes with pets or after moving into a property where previous occupants had pets. Professional flea treatment involves spraying all carpeted areas and soft furnishings with a long-lasting insecticide that continues working for weeks.
Grey squirrels frequently enter lofts and cause damage by gnawing through timber, insulation, and electrical wiring. Professional removal involves trapping and proofing entry points. Grey squirrels are classified as pests and cannot be released once caught.

Visit QodexChoosing the right professional is important. Here’s what to look for when hiring pest control services.
The British Pest Control Association (BPCA) is the leading trade body. BPCA members are trained, insured, and use approved methods. Membership provides assurance of professional, safe, and effective pest control.
A responsible pest controller will explain the treatment plan, products used, and any safety precautions needed — especially around children and pets. They should also explain what to expect during and after treatment.
Many pest problems require more than one visit to fully resolve. Check whether follow-up visits are included in the quote. Reputable companies offer guarantees and will return if the problem persists.
Different pests require different treatments and numbers of visits. Be cautious of companies that quote without asking about the specific pest, the extent of the problem, or the size of the property.
