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 →Our technicians inspect, treat where it is safe and appropriate, and leave you with a clear record of what they found. We work around your trading hours and keep the visit as low-key as we can.
Seafront food outlets and takeaway waste
A seafront full of takeaways, ice cream counters, cafes and pubs produces a lot of food waste, and a lot of passing trade means bins fill quickly. Rats and mice are drawn to that, and flies and wasps soon follow in warm weather. Shared yards and rear lanes between units give pests easy routes.
In Exmouth we check bin stores, drains, grease traps, dry stores and gaps around pipework and doors. Practical changes make a big difference: tight lids, more frequent collections, no waste left overnight and stock kept off the floor. We will talk you through what is realistic for a busy kitchen.
Hotels, guest houses and the marina
Holiday accommodation brings its own risks. Bed bugs hitch lifts on luggage, fleas can follow pets, and wasps will happily nest in eaves or roof spaces over the summer. Marina-side businesses and boat storage areas also see rodents looking for shelter and scraps, particularly in autumn.
We plan visits around changeover times, keep things discreet and give each property a dated record. If you are a hotelier or an agent in Exmouth, that paperwork can show what has been checked and treated. Acting quickly on a first sighting usually costs far less in reputation than waiting for a complaint.
Landlords, offices and family-run units
Commercial landlords across Exmouth, from shop-and-flat conversions to small industrial units, often need to show that pests are being managed, especially where tenants share bins or yards. Our visits cover inspection, treatment and a clear report on who needs to do what. We also cover Budleigh Salterton and Topsham, which suits anyone managing property along the Exe estuary. A regular contract can spread cost across the year, though we are equally happy to help with a single problem.
Frequently asked questions
How often should an Exmouth takeaway have pest control visits?
It depends on the premises and past activity, but busy food outlets near the seafront often benefit from regular visits. After looking at your layout and waste handling, we recommend a schedule that fits the real risk.
Can you treat wasps at a seafront cafe during summer?
Yes. Wasp nests near outdoor seating can be dealt with by a technician, ideally at a quiet time. We will also look at what is attracting them, such as open bins or sugary waste.
Do you give a report for my landlord or insurer?
We give you a dated written record of findings and work done after each visit. You can pass that to a landlord, agent or other third party, though we do not claim any certification on your behalf.
