What this covers
Pest control is the identification, treatment and prevention of insect and rodent infestations in homes and commercial premises. A professional starts by inspecting to establish the species, the entry points and the source, and only then applies the right gel, bait, trap or biocide. The aim is not to kill what is visible but to break the breeding cycle and close the route in.
What people ask for most
- Cockroaches in kitchens and drains
- Ants in pantries and wall cavities
- Rats and mice in roof spaces
- Wasp nests on balconies
- Termites in timber and floorboards
- Fleas brought in by pets
- Bedbugs in rental accommodation
- Preventive treatment in restaurants
Timing and emergencies
Treat as urgent a wasp nest beside a door or window, rodents inside the kitchen, and bedbugs in a property with guests due. Do not spray a nest or block an entry hole: wasps turn aggressive and cockroaches scatter into neighbouring rooms, which makes the real treatment longer. Keep the insect you caught or photograph it, because identification changes everything that follows.
How to choose well
- Ask whether they identify the species before treating and how
- Confirm which product is used and how long to stay out with children or pets
- Agree whether a follow-up check visit is included in the price
- Ask for written preparation instructions before treatment day
