Common Problems You May Face
Recurring Infestations
Without prevention, treated properties can experience repeated infestations when root causes aren't addressed.
Unseen Entry Points
Small gaps, cracks and openings that are hard to spot can provide easy access for pests.
Environmental Attractants
Poor waste management, food storage and drainage issues create conditions that attract pests.
Seasonal Peaks
Different pests become active at different times of year, requiring year-round vigilance.
Regulatory Pressure
Businesses face regulatory requirements for documented pest prevention programmes.
Costly Treatments
Reactive pest control can be more costly than a proactive prevention programme.

What Pest Prevention Includes
A prevention arrangement can be tailored to your property and the level of risk. It may include:
- An initial survey to identify risk areas and entry points
- Physical proofing such as door brushes, mesh over vents and sealing around pipes — see our rodent proofing page
- Monitoring with traps or detectors to catch problems early
- Scheduled inspections to keep an eye on the property through the year
- Advice on waste, food storage and housekeeping that discourage pests
If an active problem is found during a visit, the provider can recommend a suitable treatment — for example rat control or cockroach control.
