Commercial & contracts
Warehouses, liveries, estates and food-adjacent sites
Out-of-hours and night visits with no disruption to your operation. RAMS available on request. Fixed monthly programmes for recurring problems — contracts quoted individually.
Legal & responsible
Every property and pest problem is different. Before work begins, the site, target species, surroundings and applicable legal requirements are assessed. Work is undertaken only where an appropriate, safe and lawful control method is available. Bird control is undertaken only where lawful, necessary and appropriate, and in accordance with applicable Natural England licence conditions. Each site is assessed individually before any control work is undertaken.
FAQ
No — never. Control is by precision, no-poison methods: targeted shooting and trapping backed by thermal and night-vision equipment. That's exactly why it's safe around horses, poultry, dogs and children, and on food-adjacent sites where rodenticides are a liability.
Yes. Because no rodenticides or toxins are used, there is no secondary poisoning risk to dogs, cats, horses, poultry or wildlife. Each site is assessed first and the method is chosen to suit what lives there.
Same-day and evening appointments are often available across London and the Home Counties. Tell me your postcode and what you are seeing, and you will get a realistic slot straight away.
A site assessment is from £69 and is credited against any treatment booked. Single rat control visits start from £129, the complete rat programme from £299. The price is agreed before work begins — no hidden call-out fees.
Yes. Many pest species are considerably more active after dark, so evening and night visits are often the most effective option — and the least disruptive for yards and commercial sites.
Yes, where properly assessed. Work is undertaken only where an appropriate, safe and lawful method is available. Bird control follows Natural England licence conditions, and grey squirrels may not legally be released once trapped.
