Advice
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 →Tell us what you run and what you have noticed. We will inspect, deal with the pests we find and point out anything about the building or the way waste is handled that is helping them.
Seafront food outlets and takeaways
Cafes, kiosks and takeaways along a busy Paignton seafront produce a steady stream of food waste, packaging and grease, all of which pests find attractive. Rats are drawn to bins and drains, and flies and ants come into kitchens once the weather warms up.
We start with the outside, checking bin areas, drains, yards and the gaps around service pipes, then move inside to storerooms and prep areas. Our advice is practical: lids kept shut, stock lifted off the floor, spills cleaned promptly. Small habits make treatment work for longer.
Guest accommodation and rented property
Paignton has a wide range of holiday accommodation, from guest houses to individual lets. Bed bugs, cockroaches, ants and mice all turn up in this setting, usually because of luggage, shared kitchens or gaps in older buildings. A prompt, quiet response protects your guests and your name.
Landlords with family homes inland face a different mix, often mice or rats after a tenant has left bins overflowing. Either way we find the source, treat it, and write up what we did. If a structural repair is needed we will say so honestly.
A simple routine that keeps problems small
Many Paignton businesses choose regular visits so any trouble is spotted early. We record what we found, what we did and what we recommend, giving you notes for your files and for any food safety audit. We do not claim any certification, just honest records. If you are in TQ3 or TQ4, we also cover Torquay, Brixham and Cockington, so one call can arrange visits to more than one site.
Frequently asked questions
Do you offer regular pest visits for a Paignton cafe?
Yes. Many cafes prefer a regular schedule so signs are caught early. We agree a pattern that suits your trade, record each visit and tell you what your staff can do between visits.
Can you help a landlord with a tenant's mouse problem in Paignton?
Yes. We can inspect, find the entry points, treat the mice and give you a note on any repairs. If the cause is food storage or rubbish, we will tell you so you can raise it with the tenant.
Will pest control disturb my holiday guests?
We keep visits discreet and try to work around guest arrivals. If a room has to be out of use for a short time, we will explain why and what to do before bringing it back into service.
