Professional Pest Survey

Service Description

A comprehensive 24/7 inspection of your property to identify pest activity and vulnerabilities. Our experts provide a detailed report and professional recommendations for effective treatment and long-term prevention. Property Purchases: Homebuyers increasingly book pre-purchase surveys because standard building surveys often miss hidden infestations or mistakenly flag historic, inactive woodworm or rodent damage. Unexplained Signs: If you hear scratching noises in the loft, find structural damage, see unidentified droppings, or experience mystery insect bites. Recurring Problems: If a pest issue keeps returning despite previous DIY treatments. Commercial Compliance: Essential for businesses—especially hospitality and food retail—to meet regulatory health standards and maintain active Integrated Pest Management (IPM) records. The Final Deliverable: The Survey Report 1. Accurate Identification: The exact pest species causing the problem. 2. Infestation Level: Whether the activity is historic, isolated, or a live, multiplying infestation. 3. Proofing Requirements: Clear maps of building defects, gaps, or structural entry points that need sealing. 4. Actionable Remediation Plan: A tailored treatment layout detailing required visits and a transparent, no-obligation cost estimate Survey Stage What Happens What Technicians Look For 1. Consultation The technician asks about the history of the issue, timeline of sightings, and any previous treatment attempts. Context, risks to pets/children, and specific problem areas. 2. Physical Inspection A methodical check of lofts, basements, kitchens, hidden pipework voids, and external perimeters. Droppings, gnaw marks, grease smear trails, nesting materials, and moisture pockets. 3. Advanced Tech (if required) Use of specialised tools like thermal imaging cameras, drain cameras, or drone roof inspections. Hidden rodent nests behind walls, broken sewer pipes, or bird/wasp entry points on high roofs. 4. Risk Assessment Evaluating the surrounding environment and safe treatment application. Presence of watercourses, protected wildlife (like bats), or non-target animals.
