Morley grew around its woollen mills, and many Victorian terraces and older buildings remain among the later estates. Pests find plenty to like in both, and we treat them.
Former mill towns often have a stock of large old buildings alongside housing, and those buildings give rodents, pigeons and insects plenty of roof space and floor voids to use. Businesses in older premises should keep an eye on storage areas and delivery doors, since gaps around those are common entry points for mice and rats. Pigeons and gulls on mill roofs are another matter we can advise on.
At home, the Victorian terraces in the centre and the later estates around them see different pests. Terraces suffer from shared walls, cellars and old drains, while estate gardens and garages tend to host rats, ants and wasps. A visit starts with a look at how the building is used, where food and shelter are, and what the likely route in might be, before any product is put down.
Yes. We deal with commercial premises as well as homes, and commercial service contracts are available for shops, food outlets and storage buildings that need regular checks. We can talk through what a suitable visit schedule might look like.
Older construction tends to have more gaps, voids and worn seals, and rodents and insects can use them to move around unseen. That does not mean the building is dirty. Sealing, tidying and monitoring usually work together to reduce the problem.
Most people never see the pest itself, only what it leaves behind. Here is how to read the clues in your home and work out what you are dealing with before you spend money on a fix.
Read the advice →Clearing a pest problem is rarely about one product. It is a short sequence of jobs, done in the right order, and the order matters more than the brand of spray in the cupboard.
Read the advice →Pest control does not have one price, because no two jobs are the same. This guide explains what moves the price up or down so you can judge a quote sensibly.
Read the advice →Pests rarely announce themselves. This guide covers the early warning signs, the damage that follows if they are left alone, and the health and property risks worth taking seriously.
Read the advice →Prevention works better when it follows the calendar. Different pests become active at different times, so a few small jobs in the right season do more than one big clear-out.
Read the advice →Some pest problems you can sort out yourself with patience and the right product. Others cost more time and money if you try. Here is how to tell the difference.

This is a general walk-through of how a standard domestic visit tends to go, not a record of one particular job.
Read the walk-through →Thank you Sean and Zack for your speedy and efficient response to our wasp problem. We originally thought we had 2 wasps nests but on the end had 4.
