Insect pest control

Ants often appear in kitchens, patios and conservatories in spring and summer. You might notice:

• Trails of black ants along skirting boards or worktops

• Small piles of soil or sand where ants push material out of nests

• Flying ants swarming from a crack in the patio or inside the house

Ant powders from the supermarket may kill the ants you can see but usually leave the nest untouched. Our ant pest control service:

• Finds the main ant nest and any satellite nests

• Uses professional gel baits and treatments that workers carry back to the colony

• Deals with crawling ants and flying ants so the problem is controlled at the root

If you are searching for ant control near me, how to get rid of flying ants in the house or ant exterminator in Essex, we can help.

Cockroaches are a serious hygiene issue. They can spread bacteria across food surfaces and are very hard to remove without professional help. Signs include:

• Cockroaches seen at night in kitchens, bathrooms or boiler rooms

• Small dark droppings that look like black pepper

• A musty odour in heavy infestations

Our cockroach pest control service in Essex includes:

• Careful survey to find where cockroaches are hiding and how they are entering

• Use of professional gel baits, monitors and residual sprays in safe, targeted areas

• Follow up visits where needed until activity has stopped

If you have seen cockroaches in the house or business, it is best to act quickly, as early treatment is easier and cheaper.

Bed bugs are small insects that feed on blood while you sleep. They do not mean a property is dirty. They travel on luggage, clothing and furniture and can affect any type of home or hotel. You may notice:

• Live bed bugs or shed skins in mattress buttons and headboards

• Detailed inspection of beds, frames, skirting and nearby furniture

• Professional bed bug pest control using insecticide, steam or heat where appropriate

• Practical advice on laundering, bagging and reducing hiding places
