PEST CONTROL FAQS
1

Pests are a resilient by nature and are adept at hiding and entering a our environment in places you would never think. A professional pest technician knows where to look for pests and make expert recommendations on what it will take to prevent or eliminate pests.  Pestokill work to the British Pest Control Association guidelines to recognised global standards. Many products that are effective are ‘Professional use Only’ and cannot be applied by untrained personnel.

Results will vary according to the type of pest, treatment methods and products used. For example, immediate results can be seen when a wasps nest is removed or treated with a dust or liquid pesticide. However, when using baits for ants and rodents,  the process takes longer since the pests have to ingest the product for it to be effective. Your local technician will outline what your expectations for your particular problem should be. All treatment are in line with the British Pest Control Association guidelines.
Pestokill offers a range of sprays, baiting, sealing, heat treatments and scaring devices to match every pest situation  using with the latest application techniques and products, and with respect to the environment.
At all times we look to minimise pesticide use for the safety of our clients, service teams and the environment, whilst delivering an effective solution.
The surrounding environment and pest species will be the first consideration for our Technician. They will advise on the best treatment type for your situation.
Bait treatments offer Clients peace of mind if they prefer not to have liquid chemicals applied in their home. The type of pest, the severity of the problem and other factors determine the type of treatment that we implement. We will always choose the least amount of pesticides to minimise the impact on the surrounding environment, whilst delivering the quickest elimination possible.
Heat is used for Bed bugs, Clothes moth and stored product insects. This is a zero pesticide service for areas where conventional treatments are not suitable or the pest has built up resistance to pesticides.
Pestokill prefers to stop pests before they get in your property! We check the ingress points and create a barrier around the perimeter of your home to decrease an insect’s ability to gain entry. However, if pests do gain access we have treatment methods that will effectively eliminate them.
Fleas and bed bugs are highly mobile pests and can be carried easily between locations or within a hotel, home or apartment building. Identifying the source of the infestation and taking the proper steps to ensure a re-infestation does not occur can take multiple service visits.
For bed bugs see our Heatandgo no pesticide heat division. www.heatandgo.co.uk
The products Pestokill uses to eliminate pests have been extensively tested and are approved by UK Government. The products are applied by highly-trained, certified Technicians in the right quantity to the right area.
Where possible we firstly look at non chemical use by changing the environment and proofing against pest entry. We then check that the pesticide can be deployed safely and will not come into contact with any non target species (pets or wildlife). Finallly once the options have been ruled out we will apply the correct quantity of pesticides in tamper proof devices or excluded areas to minimise exposure to other persons or creatures.
We do it safely or not at all !

My elderly mum got the biggest shock when wasps were found in her beloved home. I then found Pestokill online and made a web enquiry. Within no time at all I had a response and a fixed cost. An appointment was made and the Technicians arrived on time, calmed my mother down and explained that they would get rid of them. They did exactly that and now there is no signs of them.

They were very reasonable with the price and the service was top notch. Well done and thank you to the Technician Nathan, if you have a nest call this company.

At last I found a company that knows what they are talking about and I could trust. At first I called several companies and the treatment costs were sky high.  After speaking to the lady at Pestokill she assured me that for one fixed cost my pest problem would be solved, three visits later and I no longer have mice.  I chose the 48 hour response and got a fixed appointment that suited me as I finished work early that day.   Well recommended, hope I dont need them but if I do there will be only one call .

I’ve found bed bugs 3 days ago after coming home from holiday abroad. After a little research I choose a heat treatment rather than chemicals offered by others. They came to my house with some giant heaters and I have slept peacefully and bite free ever since.  Recommend these guys for sure!

I just want to let you know how impressed I was today with your Bed Bug Detector Dave and his Dog  Milo. After completing a full Inspection on my house this morning, the Team pinpointed the Bed Bugs and I now feel assured that the heat treatment will solve this problem which 2 companies have already tried to solve with chemicals.
