Pest Proofing

Pest Proofing is a proactive approach to prevent pest infestations by sealing potential entry points that pests might use to access your commercial business. 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 in the provision of a pest monitoring or a pest treatment programme, which our team can provide, following any of our pest proofing services. As these services are a preventative measure, rats and mice could be trapped in the building. Follow up services therefore are important as they allow us to identify these unwanted guests and provide further services to remove them.

There is no absolute guarantee of complete rat or mice prevention as they can still enter a building through open doors, incoming goods. They may also enter through wall cavities or trunking from adjoining commercial premises. Our services can however help businesses with immediate short term rodent removal/prevention.

Pest Proofing to Stop Birds

Pest proofing isn't exclusive to the removal of rodents, it can be used to identify and implement preventative measures for bird pests, stopping them from entering property as well. As a general service, pest proofing is useful as a way of identifying general issues. When it comes to preventing birds, pest proofing can identify openings in eaves and roofs where a bird may enter. Potential vent and chimney openings can also be identified and blocked to prevent pigeons and other pests.
