General Questions

1How do I know if I have a pest problem?

There are several common signs that could indicate pest activity in your home or business. You may notice scratching noises in walls or loft spaces, droppings, gnaw marks, damaged food packaging, unpleasant smells, nests or increased sightings of insects or rodents. In some cases, the signs can be less obvious, which is why professional inspection is often the best way to identify the issue early before it becomes more serious.

3How do I know if I have rats or mice?

Rodent activity often leaves clear signs around the property. Common indicators include droppings, scratching noises in walls or ceilings, chewed wires or materials, grease marks along skirting boards and sightings of rodents, particularly during the evening or night. If left untreated, rodents can cause significant damage and hygiene issues, so early action is important.

Professional treatment will significantly reduce and often eliminate pest problems, but ongoing prevention is also important. We’ll provide advice on proofing, hygiene and maintenance to help reduce the chances of pests returning in the future.

2Will I need to leave my property during treatment?

This depends on the type of pest and treatment being carried out. In many cases, you can remain in the property while treatment takes place. However, for certain treatments we may recommend temporarily avoiding specific rooms or areas for a short period. We’ll always explain this fully beforehand so you know exactly what to expect.

3What should I do before my appointment?

Preparation requirements vary depending on the pest being treated. In some cases, we may ask you to clear certain areas, move furniture, vacuum floors or temporarily keep pets away from treatment areas. Full preparation guidance will always be provided before your appointment.
