The repellents we use at Pest-Tec tend to be traps, chemical sprays, insecticides and advice. Advice is one of the most important tools we use because so often it is the change in habits which bring the best pest prevention. For instance, thorough waste management and cleaning, the clearance of stagnant water and good drain cleaning will greatly reduce the ability for pests to breed.

Bins and rubbish is one of the most attractive places for pests to harbour, as are areas of space under garden sheds and summer houses, piles of wood and garden waste and holes in walls. Filling holes in walls and repairing damage will prevent any creatures finding their way inside them.

Regularly changing bed sheets and vacuuming your mattress will keep bed bugs at bay and keeping food well-secure and open bags and boxes tied up will deter flies, mice and rats.

The industry and technologies for pest prevention are always updating so at Pest-Tec, we have a policy that all staff undergo regular training and are kept aware of any advances made in the field while at the same time we ensure all our working methods conform to the British standards in safety.
