Insect control & removal

While they may be harmless in their natural habitats or even beneficial, the presence of insects inside a property can quickly turn problematic. Insect larvae can damage food supplies and fabrics, while other insects such as wasps can sting when disturbed. Problems with insect pests are more pronounced where food is present due to potential bacterial and physical contamination.  Risk intensifies during warmer months with elevated levels of insect activity. Depending on the location, insect infestations can cause a range of problems:

Frequently asked questions

What are the most common insect pests in the UK?

Common species of pest insects include flies, cockroaches, ants, bed bugs, beetles, and moths. Flies cause a significant health risk by contaminating food and are vectors of numerous diseases, carrying bacteria and pathogens from decaying matter to food and kitchen surfaces.  The house fly, Musca domestica,  has no chewing mouthparts (its mouth is spongelike) and feeds by vomiting on its food before stamping the digestive juices into the surface and then sucking them back up.  It will often then defecate before flying away.  It is recognised as being a cause of food poisoning, but the smaller Fruit fly, Drosophila species, will also carry significant populations of bacteria.

Cockroches are also notorious for spreading diseases. They carry bacteria and pathogens that can contaminate food, posing serious health risks. They thrive in unsanitary conditions and can quickly infest kitchens, restaurants, and other food-handling establishments.  The German Cockroach, Blattella germanica, will also infest households.
