Commercial: Warehouses
Pest control for warehouses
Rats and mice in racking and stock, pigeons in the roof steel and wasps in the eaves. We proof, treat and plan visits around your shifts and deliveries.
The problem
What goes wrong on these sites
Rats and mice come in through dock doors and gaps in cladding, then nest in racking, pallets and packaging. They chew stock and leave droppings that can lead to rejected loads. Pigeons fly in through open doors and roost in the roof steel, fouling stock and floors below. Wasps nest in eaves and cladding in summer. Large, warm buildings full of cover let all of this build up unseen.
Our approach
What we would do
We survey dock doors, racking, roof steel and the outside line of the building. Door brushes and proofing close the gaps rodents use. Monitoring points are set around the walls, and rodents are trapped or treated. Netting keeps pigeons out of the roof steel. Where birds keep coming in through open doors, hawk patrols can move them on. Planned visits keep your records ready for audits.
On site
Visits fit around your shifts and delivery times. We complete your induction, wear the PPE you require and keep clear of forklifts. 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.
