South London is one of the most populous areas of the UK and a magnet for pests seeking food, shelter, and water. It is important to have a pest control company that can deal with both the common household pests such as rats, mice, and squirrels, and also the more serious infestations that are a health hazard, such as fleas and bed bugs. Empire Pest Control is a local pest control business that understands how upsetting and disruptive it can be to have an unwanted pest in your home or workplace. We have teams of local exterminators that can help with a variety of pest problems from rodents to wasps and bees.
We can provide residential and commercial pest control in South London services 365 days a year. This is especially important in a city as busy and densely populated as London. During the warmer months we also offer a 24/7 emergency service for those times when pest control is required outside of office hours.
Rodents are the most common problem encountered in homes and businesses in South London. The urban environment provides them with plenty of opportunities to scavenge food from bins, compost heaps and gardens as well as gaining entry through open doors and gaps in walls. As the rat population in London grows so too does their need to seek food and shelter from residents and businesses, making it even more essential to rat proof properties and get professional rat removal from pest exterminators.
The best way to prevent a rodent infestation is by keeping your house well insulated, sealing all gaps around your property, and placing rat-proofing materials in the loft space. You should also keep all food sealed in hard to enter containers, and do not leave rubbish bags out on the curb. It is also a good idea to put a non-return valve in your toilet system to stop rats from entering your toilets through the pipes draining into the sewers.
Other pests that are a nuisance and often require professional pest control services are birds, bees, wasps, flies, and moths. It is important to have a pest controller in the early stages of an infestation as this will limit damage and reduce the amount of insecticide needed.
Our flies and wasps control methods include a range of traps, baits, sprays, dusts and foggers. We can also carry out comprehensive bird proofing and deterrence systems which can be tailored to your particular situation.
Squirrels are a major concern in many parts of London as they are able to gain entry through cavity wall spaces and can cause a variety of issues such as electrical fires and water leaks. Squirrel control can be done through a number of different methods including trapping, baiting and blockages. We can also offer spider control using a variety of methods from poisons to spider webs and other treatments depending on the severity of your issue. We can also deal with ant infestations using a range of techniques from baiting to gel treatments.
