Commercial: Offices and shops
Pest control for offices and shops
Mice in ceilings and kitchens, rats around bin stores, wasps at entrances and pigeons over shopfronts. We proof the gaps, treat discreetly and report in writing.
The problem
What goes wrong on these sites
Mice move through ceiling voids, risers and service ducts, and find food in kitchens and staff rooms. Rats come in from bin stores and drains. Wasps nest in roof spaces and near doors in summer. Pigeons roost on signs and ledges above shopfronts and foul the pavement below. One sighting by a customer or member of staff can damage trust quickly.
Our approach
What we would do
We survey the building, including voids, kitchens and bin areas. Gaps around pipes, doors and ducts are proofed. Mice and rats are trapped or treated in tamper-resistant boxes placed out of public view. Wasp nests are treated and staff are told when the area is safe. Spikes or netting go on ledges and signs. Planned visits follow, at times that suit your opening hours.
On site
We can visit before opening, after closing or at quiet times. We sign in, follow your building rules and wear the PPE required. A risk assessment and method statement (RAMS) is supplied before the first visit.

Risk assessment and method statement
Paperwork before the first visit
Every commercial site gets a risk assessment and method statement (RAMS) before the first visit. It is written for your site, not copied from a template.
- Site hazards
- Moving vehicles, plant, public areas and how we keep clear of them
- The method
- Proofing, bait placements, netting, nest treatment, and a trained hawk only where one is used
- People
- Staff and public briefing, exclusion areas while we work, induction requirements
- Timing
- Visit times agreed around your operations
- Law and welfare
- Nesting season limits, licences where they apply, and bird welfare
- Waste
- Registered waste carrier (Environment Agency, upper tier, CBDU606377), so guano and nest material can be removed and disposed of legally.
- Insurance
- £5 million
Ask to see an example RAMS when you book a site visit.
