Dealing with pests in an agricultural environment can be very time consuming and demanding but without adequate control, can cause expense and devastation to growing and stored crops/products, the health of livestock and cause structural damage to buildings, drains, electricity cables and equipment, etc. We are a team with an agricultural background, familiar with operating in rural situations and within the constraints of quality standards and other supplier requirements. Full site surveys, which also identify areas of high value and/or vulnerability, and regular monitoring, aim to avoid a pest problem arising and provide targeted, effective pest elimination at the first indication of a problem. Our highly trained operates have a variety of arsenal available to use, employing the most appropriate technique, or combination of techniques, to eradicate pests within the demanding physical and environmental constraints. We can provide further recommendations and undertake pest-proofing works to prevent reinfestation to ensure pests do not utilise previously established routes/holes/exits, etc. Furthermore, we have vast experience in liaising with Local Authorities and enforcement bodies to ensure compliance with any recommendations or requirements imposed by them.

Locating the source and effectively treating and preventing pests in an office, warehouse or food premises can be problematic, especially where the business is sharing a building, kitchen or drainage facilities. It can be hard to locate and exterminate the pest at source, often resulting in a superficial and insufficient pest treatment which fails to tackle the main hub of the problem allowing further pests to return. Furthermore, high standards of food hygiene and/or professional appearance can be undermined by pests and the damage and debris that they can cause. We understand the legal standards expected in the food catering industry, what it takes to maintain that level of professionalism and the reputation you have built up for your business. We can provide bespoke pro-active or reactive pest control services in a range of varied circumstances, delivering integrated, multi-faceted pest management solutions. We can operate discretely – attending outside business hours and in plain works vehicle(s) to protect the professional reputation of the business. We have vast experience in liaising with Local Authorities and enforcement bodies to ensure compliance with any recommendations or requirements imposed by them.  

Pests can cause a vast amount of damage and destruction to property and the health of residents living there. Pests can cause extensive structural damage to drains, electricity cables and the fabric of your property, thereby putting your health and your property at risk from disease (cross contamination) and fire. Also, pests are not constrained by residential boundaries which can make pest control challenging, particularly where groups of neighbouring residents are effected. Our skilled operatives will identify and treat the source of the infestation and affected areas. The products we use are not available to the general public because of their strength and effectiveness; they can only be purchased and used by fully trained and competent operatives such as ourselves.  

In some circumstances, it may not be possible to treat the source of the infestation because it may arise from another neighbour’s property. Therefore, with your permission, we may need to approach a neighbour for access/assistance. However, we understand the importance of maintaining good neighbourly friendships and always employ the highest degree of tact, diplomacy and professionalism in dealing with all those involved. Additionally, we have vast experience in liaising with Local Authorities and enforcement bodies to ensure compliance with any recommendations or requirements imposed by them. If requested, we can provide a discrete pest control service to minimise any unwanted attention from other residents and our team also comprises a female operative if required.  

Living in a rural area or owning a smallholding can be idyllic and tranquil with an abundance of local wildlife. Pest species form part of the natural environment and are naturally abundant in numbers, but can become a problem to rural residents when they invade your garden, outbuildings or home searching for food, water or harbourage. In particular, home grown fruit and vegetables, stored foods, pet and poultry foods, compost heaps, ponds and infrequently used outbuildings can be attractive to visiting or residing pest species. Pests can be destructive causing structural damage to drains, electricity cables and the fabric of buildings, putting your health and your property at risk from disease (cross contamination) and fire. A rural garden environment with its close proximity to countryside or agricultural land can make pest control challenging owing to an abundance of naturally occurring, visiting pests. However, we can offer a vast amount of advice and guidance to provide or assist you with carrying out pest proofing measures and making your property as inhospitable to pests as possible. Full site surveys, which also identify areas of vulnerability and suitable pest prevention measures, and regular monitoring, will minimise the potential for infestation. Our highly trained operates have a variety of appropriate techniques available to eradicate pests without impacting on other wildlife or domestic animals. We can provide further recommendations and undertake pest-proofing works to prevent a reinfestation from occurring to ensure pests do not utilise previously established routes/holes/exits, etc.

Legislation covering the sale and distribution of pesticides for pest control is strictly controlled in the UK. This has been necessary owing to the widespread contamination of UK wildlife (non-target species) with second generation anti-coagulant rodenticides (SGARs) which are potential persistent bio-accumulative toxic substances. This means that the quantity of these substances can, and in many non-target birds/mammals has, accumulated to dangerous/toxic levels. The public/amateurs are restricted in the type and quantity of pest control substances they can purchase. Some pest control companies will sell you products which you can use at home. These products will not be identical to the effective products we use and we feel these are overpriced for what they are. In addition, effective pest control involves strategy and experience of the pest species. At Target Pest Solutions, we believe that the best way to exterminate a pest is to undertake the work ourselves – if you elect to do your own pest control, we would be happy to show you how and why baits/traps etc are used and in what circumstances, in order to help you maximise the effectiveness of your time and prevent a pest problem becoming worse.
