Our pest control methods
Whether it’s regular pest maintenance or a one-off extermination, our experts have the tools and methods required to get the job done. Depending on the type of pest and the nature of the infestation, we will advise on whether physical, chemical, or biological control is most suitable.
At Waste Managed, we work with the UK’s most trusted commercial pest management suppliers to make sure that your problem is handled quickly, safely and compliantly. Our suppliers will give a detailed professional inspection of your business and identify any vulnerabilities to pests. An advanced commercial pest management system may be appropriate if prevention is needed. This might look like digital traps to track any pest activity in real time. If there is already an infestation, a method of commercial pest control treatment will be chosen based on the needs of your business and the type of business that you have:
- Physical pest control
This commercial pest treatment involves the use of lethal and non-lethal traps, ideal for situations where chemical control is not suitable. If your business makes, processes or serves food, such as in cafes or bakeries, then this is the right option for you.
- Chemical pest control
This method of commercial pest removal involves poisons, pesticides, and toxic gases, and is good for quickly dealing with large infestations. This is the preferred method for large-scale storage facilities to prevent pests from multiplying rapidly and protect high volumes of goods stored. This type of industrial pest control is also preferred for agriculture and will protect crops and livestock feed from rodents and insects.
- Biological pest control
This is the most environmentally friendly method of commercial pest control and involves making changes to the environment, such as introducing natural predators. Discretion is key for businesses in public-facing sectors, like hospitality, retail and offices. If your business is in one of these sectors, then this is the right method for you.
Our pest control service process
Our suppliers follow a rigorous, five-step process to remove any current pest problems from your business and prevent future ones. This structured approach makes sure that your business stays safe, hygienic and compliant.
- Initial site inspection and risk assessment
Our suppliers will undertake a full evaluation of your business. This risk assessment will highlight any vulnerabilities of your business. From high-sensitivity environments like nurseries to high-risk areas like restaurants, our suppliers will thoroughly assess all risks so that they can make the most tailored commercial pest control service for you.
- Identification of pest activity and entry points
Our suppliers don’t just look for active infestations to manage, they check for any possible entry points so that they can prevent future pests, too. In this stage, our suppliers will identify any active nesting sites surrounding your business and track any droppings. Here, you will also be given a detailed survey of any entry points to repair or fix to prevent infestations. This might look like damaged masonry, pipework at risk and gaps in door seals.
- Development of a tailored pest management plan
Every commercial pest control service is tailored to the specific needs of your business, that’s why our suppliers will work with you to create a commercial pest control plan that is right for you. With the most competitive rates on the market, your plan will be low-cost, with no hidden fees, and you’ll only pay for what you need.
- Treatment and monitoring programme
Once you have agreed to your recommended commercial pest control plan, your supplier will implement the prevention and control systems that you need to keep your business clean, compliant and safe from pests. This might look like a professional monitoring system for prevention, or baits or traps to manage any current pests.
- Ongoing inspections and reporting
Once your commercial pest control plan is in place, your supplier will continue to provide follow-up inspections and detailed reporting to continue to help you prevent pests or end a current infestation. Your supplier will give you the necessary documentation that you will need to be able to prove that you are upholding your legal duty of care.
Commercial pest control services for your business
Any business can fall victim to a pest infestation, but pests are usually drawn to premises where food is produced, stored, or otherwise involved.
Types of businesses we can help:
Hospitality
From exclusion and prevention to baiting, trapping, and future monitoring, we have helped hospitality businesses like hotels and event spaces to remove pests and prevent them from returning.
Restaurant and food production sites
Pests can negatively affect the reputation of a restaurant or food production business, so the prompt removal of any infestation is crucial. We have helped restaurants and food production sites with ongoing pest management to prevent issues before they even begin.
Offices and commercial buildings
Our commercial pest management for offices focuses on discrete treatments that protect your workspaces without disrupting your daily operations. Subtle monitoring systems and regular audits help your facility managers keep hygienic, clean and compliant offices and make sure all health and safety obligations are met.
Retail stores
A single pest sighting in a retail store can cause significant disruption and reputation damage. Whether your business is a small boutique or a large supermarket, our suppliers will provide commercial pest removal that is compliant and quick. This makes sure that your stock is protected from damage and that your shop floor is always a clean and welcoming environment for your customers.
Healthcare facilities
In clinical settings like hospitals, dental practices and care homes, compliant health and safety must always be the priority. That’s why we only work with suppliers who offer commercial pest services with CQC-compliant standards. Commercial pest removal treatment plans for clinical settings are non-toxic, with continuous monitoring for constant prevention. Our suppliers make sure that your vulnerable patients are protected from pests, and that the hygiene and safety of your clinical setting are always CQC-compliant.
Warehouses and logistics centres
Large-scale facilities are often primary targets for infestations. This is because of the high volume of goods stored within and the risks from transportation arriving from different sites. From perimeter protection to high levels of commercial pest control management in your facility, our suppliers navigate the unique challenges of the logistics industry, making sure your supply chain is never disrupted and that your stock is always protected from contamination or damage.
