How We Work
Every job starts with a thorough inspection. We assess the type of pest, the extent of the infestation, and the conditions that are allowing it to persist. Treatment is then tailored to the specific situation — not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Our process:
Inspection — identify the pest, entry points, harbourage areas, and contributing factors
Treatment — apply targeted, regulated treatments appropriate to the pest and property
Follow-up — return visits to confirm the infestation has been cleared
Prevention advice — practical recommendations to reduce the risk of recurrence
All treatments use approved products applied by trained technicians. We follow all relevant safety guidelines for occupied properties and advise you of any precautions before work begins.
