Your 4-week posting calendar
Week 1
Signs to look for
Droppings, gnaw marks, scratching at night and greasy smears along walls can all point to rodents. If you have noticed any of these, message us privately and tell us where. We will explain what happens next.
Visit records for kitchens
Restaurant and office managers: after every visit we leave a written record of what we found, what we did and what to watch for. Message us to see a sample and talk about a regular visit schedule for [premises].
Private by default
Our vehicle and our paperwork are plain, and we never talk about a job outside it. If you think you have a pest problem, send us a message here and we will reply with what we need to know.
Week 2
Mesh over a gap
Mice can squeeze through gaps far smaller than most people expect. This is the same gap before and after we sealed it with mesh. Proofing is how we stop pests coming back. Message us to talk about your home.
Bird proofing a ledge
A ledge above a shop entrance, before and after bird proofing. Netting and spikes keep pigeons off signs and doorways. Property managers, message us to talk about your buildings in [area].
A wasp nest visit
What happens on a wasp nest visit: we look, explain the options and deal with it safely. Please do not poke a nest yourself. Send us a photo taken from a distance and we will tell you what we suggest.
Week 3
A checklist before the cold
Before the cold arrives: check gaps around pipes, keep bins closed and store food in sealed containers. Rodents look for warmth and food. Message us if you would like the loft and outbuildings inspected.
Ask us a question
Not sure if what you found is a pest problem? Send us a photo or a few words here on WhatsApp. We will tell you what we think it is and whether a visit is needed. Your message stays private.
Between tenancies
Letting agents and landlords: pests found at a check-out can hold up the next letting. We inspect, deal with the problem and write up what we did. Message us to talk about the properties you manage in [area].
Week 4
A kind review
Kind words from [customer first name] about a quiet, clear visit, which is exactly what we aim for. If you have a pest problem and want to talk it through, message us or ring [phone].
Bed bug signs
Think you might have bed bugs? Look for small dark spots on bed linen and along the seams of the mattress, and send us a photo here. We will tell you what to do next, and we keep it private.
Meet the technician
Meet [name], who looks after our commercial customers in [area]. A regular visit, a clear record and one person to call. Message us to talk about your restaurant, office or building.
Words in [square brackets] are for you to fill in, like a price or an offer.
