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 →Pests do not respect business types. A busy warehouse, a bakery and a block of rented flats can all face the same rodents, insects and flies, so we plan around how each place is used rather than offering one standard package.
Warehouses, units and delivery areas
Large units in Cullompton with roller doors, pallets and constant deliveries give rats and mice plenty of cover and easy ways in. Stored goods, cardboard and packaging add shelter and food. Gaps under doors, around loading bays and at pipe entries are the usual weak points, and they are easy to miss in a large building.
We walk the outside and inside, check monitoring points and note any evidence of activity. Where stock or food is stored we choose methods carefully and position them away from products. You receive a written record of every visit, which helps when customers or auditors ask what controls you have.
Food shops, takeaways and offices
High street food businesses in Cullompton deal with the same problems as any busy town: waste, deliveries and shared walls. Kitchens attract cockroaches, ants and flies as well as rodents. We inspect kitchens, stores and yards, treat what we find and show you what to improve.
Offices are quieter but not immune. Mice follow cables and ducts, and staff kitchens often provide crumbs and open food. A short routine visit schedule and a few housekeeping changes are usually enough to keep things under control.

Frequently asked questions
Do you work in large warehouses near the M5?
Yes. We inspect doors, loading bays, pallets and perimeters, place monitoring points and treat any activity with care around stock. Each visit is recorded so you can show what controls are in place.
How do I stop rats entering a Cullompton unit through roller doors?
Gaps at the base and sides of doors are common entry points. Brush or rubber seals can help, and keeping the area outside tidy reduces the attraction. We can inspect and tell you what needs fixing.
Can one visit cover several units on an estate?
Often yes. If the units share a site or a landlord, we can arrange visits together and give each a separate written record, which saves time and makes it easier to see where problems keep occurring.
