Pest Proofing

Pest Proofing is a proactive approach to prevent pest infestations by sealing potential entry points that pests might use to access your property. Here is a brief overview of how it works:

• Inspection: Expert technicians thoroughly inspect your property to identify any gaps, cracks, or openings that pests could use to enter.
• Sealing Entry Points: These identified entry points are then sealed using materials like bricks, mortar, or special foam sealants to ensure pests can’t get through.
• Internal Measures: Inside the property additional measures are taken to cover spaces under doors, around windows, and other potential access points.
• Long-Term Solutions: Pest proofing is designed to provide long-term protection, reducing the need for repeated pest control treatments.

This method is effective against both rats and mice. By preventing pests from entering in the first place, you can maintain a pest-free environment more efficiently. We would always advise that we provide pest monitoring or a treatment programme following proofing, as rats and mice could be trapped in the building.

There is no absolute guarantee of prevention as rats and mice can still enter a building through open doors, incoming goods or via wall cavities or trunking from adjoining premises.
