Flies

House flies, cluster flies and other flying insects can appear in large numbers, especially around kitchens, bins, livestock and older buildings. Cluster flies are a particular nuisance in autumn, gathering in lofts and roof spaces before overwintering. Treatment targets the breeding source and the resting areas, with advice on entry points and prevention.

Cockroaches

Cockroaches are one of the most serious pests a property can have. They contaminate food, spread bacteria and multiply quickly, and they hide in warm, dark places such as behind fridges, under sinks and in wall cavities. They are a particular concern for restaurants, kitchens and food premises, where an infestation can threaten your compliance. Treatment involves locating the harbourage, treating the colony and following up to be sure it is gone.

Silverfish

Silverfish love damp, dark spaces, which is why they turn up in bathrooms, kitchens, lofts and under sinks. They feed on starches and can damage paper, books, wallpaper and fabrics. Treatment targets the harbourage areas and the damp conditions that attract them, with practical advice on reducing moisture.

Spiders

Spiders are mostly harmless, but large numbers in or around a property can be a genuine nuisance, especially for holiday lets and businesses. Treatment targets the resting and web-building areas around the property, with advice on sealing entry points. Spiders come inside looking for food and shelter, so reducing other insect activity and sealing gaps makes a real difference.

Moths and stored product insects

Moths and beetles can damage food in cupboards, pantry goods and stored products in commercial premises. We identify the species, find the source and treat the infestation, with advice on storage and prevention. For businesses, this matters for compliance as well as for protecting stock.

Woodworm

Wood-boring beetles, commonly called woodworm, can cause significant damage to timber in joists, floorboards, furniture and roof timbers. The tunnels left behind weaken the wood over time, and an untreated infestation can become a long-term structural problem. Woodworm is a particular concern for period properties, listed buildings and farms with timber-framed barns. We carry out thorough surveys to assess the extent of the infestation and recommend the right treatment, which may include surface application, injection or spray to active timbers. We advise on prevention, including improving ventilation, reducing moisture levels and treating replacement timbers before installation, to protect your property for the long term.

Common questions

How do I know what insect I have?＋

Send us a description or, if possible, a photo of the insect and where you are finding them. We can identify the species and recommend the right treatment.

Do you treat cockroaches in commercial premises?＋

Yes. Cockroach control in restaurants, kitchens and food premises is a priority service. We locate the harbourage, treat the colony and follow up to be sure the infestation is cleared.

What attracts silverfish?＋

Silverfish are attracted to damp, dark conditions and feed on starches found in paper, wallpaper, fabrics and food residues. Reducing moisture and clearing clutter helps deter them.
