Mouse Proofing

  • Mice-proofing focuses on preventing mice from entering the property's living area through the internal walls, floors, fixtures, and fittings. This might include dismantling and removing cabinets to close all access points for pests in kitchens. For bathrooms, we might need to remove bath panels, boxed pipes to be opened and closed properly, so no mice can go through the toilet bowl or chew through the soft connection pipe, and many other situations. Is the property free from mice?

Rat Proofing

  • Rat proofing is essential to stopping rats from re-entering your premises and preventing further infestations. To solve any infestation issue, we first need to find all the openings that rats use to enter your home. We seal all of the gaps and cracks with cement, place fine metal mesh, and bigger openings we block by placing wood boards or plasterboards. Is the property free from rats?

Bird Proofing

  • The main goal of bird proofing is to keep birds away from the property humanely and effectively. Birds can make a real mess of any roof, facade or window, and the pigeon's feeders can block the guttering system. Not to mention their faeces contain dangerous pathogens. Bird proofing, spikes, netting, or wires in place can restrict and force them to change their preferred location. Is the property free from any birds that are causing a nuisance?
