Pest Control for Landlords and Holiday Lets
Rented homes and holiday lets face particular pest risks, and acting quickly on a report protects your property, your tenants or guests, and your reputation.
Read the guide →Pest problems in a small town spread by word of mouth very quickly, so we focus on discreet visits, honest advice and short written records. You can call us for a single sighting or ask about a regular programme.
Small shops, tea rooms and cafes
A tea room or deli with a modest kitchen can still attract mice and rats if crumbs, deliveries and waste are not controlled. Older shopfronts have gaps around doors, pipes and floorboards, and the countryside nearby means wildlife is never far away. Flies and wasps are the usual summer visitors.
When we visit in Budleigh Salterton we look at storage, prep areas, bins, deliveries and every point where something could squeeze in. We talk through simple habits that help, such as sealed containers and prompt waste removal. If treatment is needed, we use measured, safe methods and place everything where staff and customers will not be affected.
Care, retirement and sensitive settings
Many people in the town are older, and businesses serving them, such as care providers, sheltered accommodation and residential managers, need pest control that is considerate. Residents may be anxious about visitors, equipment or noise, and some may have health conditions or limited mobility.
We take that seriously in Budleigh Salterton. We explain who we are, where we will be working and what we are doing, and we arrange visits with managers in advance. Treatment is placed safely and carefully, and we do not use scare tactics. A written record after each visit keeps staff informed and gives your manager something clear to file.
Guest houses, landlords and nearby towns
Guest houses and holiday lets in Budleigh Salterton face the usual worries, from wasps in eaves to mice in kitchens to bed bugs after a busy week. Landlords of shops with flats above also need to know who is responsible and what has been done. We can inspect, treat and report for all of these. We also cover Exmouth and Sidmouth, which is handy if you manage property across East Devon. Tell us what you are seeing and we will suggest a sensible plan.
