My approach to pest control

At Green Pest Control Services, I employ a thorough and professional approach to every pest control issue. I hold the Lantra Level 2 Award in Rodent Control and adhere to the CRRU Code of Practice for responsible pest management.

Here’s how I typically conduct a pest control service:

  1. Initial Site Visit: I begin with a thorough inspection of the property to identify the type of pest, the extent of the infestation, and the potential entry points for 1 the pests. I will also assess the factors that may be attracting the pests to the property, such as available food sources or harborage areas. 
  2. Access Reduction & Sanitation: I will work with you to identify and implement steps to reduce pest access to your property. This may involve sealing entry points, removing potential food sources, and improving sanitation practices.
  3. Trap Placement: I will strategically place a number of humane traps throughout the affected areas.
  4. Regular Monitoring: I will visit the property regularly to:
    Check traps: Monitor trap activity and remove any captured rodents. (Live traps are visited daily)
    Re-bait/reset traps: Ensure traps remain effective and continue to attract pests.
  5. Poison Use (if necessary): If trap activity indicates that the infestation is more severe, I may introduce professional-grade rodenticides in accordance with the CRRU Code. This step is always taken as a last resort and with careful consideration for the safety of humans, pets, and wildlife.
  6. Monitoring Poison Effectiveness: I will closely monitor the effectiveness of the poison by checking for any signs of consumption on the bait blocks.
  7. Removal of Poisons: Once the infestation is effectively controlled, I will remove all poison bait blocks from the property as per the CRRU Code guidelines.
  8. Follow-up Contact: I will conduct a follow-up to ensure the effectiveness of the treatment and to address any remaining concerns.

My Commitment to Responsible Pest Control

I prioritise the use of humane and environmentally friendly methods whenever possible. My goal is to provide effective and long-term solutions to your pest problems while minimising the impact on the environment and ensuring the safety of all occupants.
