Bed bugs are nocturnal insects that feed on warm-blooded animals as well as humans. In urban areas these bugs can cause serious trouble, due to a number of factors, such as the increased number of people travelling and the bugs’ natural resistance to commercial bed bug sprays. Bed bug bites are very unpleasant and for some people with certain levels of allergies to them, they could be a complete nightmare.

Meet Barry! 🕷️ We had a call today from a member of the public, who found this "hench spidey" (our receptionist's words) in her Amazon parcel.

One call to the RSPCA later and Barry has been identified as a species of Huntsman and is on his way to a tropical pet store. 👋

Standard pest control (like baiting) only handles the rats already inside. To stop them permanently, you need to fix the "door" they’re using—your drains.

Our team specializes in:
- Identifying hidden breakages in your pipes.
​- Installing stainless steel rat flaps.
​- Permanent proofing solutions.
Don't just manage the problem—solve it.

A sobering reminder from today’s job. 📸 Mold, grime, and neglect. It’s hard to imagine living like this every day, but it’s a reality for more people than you’d think. What’s your reaction when you see this?

They say your home is your sanctuary, but for some, it looks like this. 😔 We see it all in the cleaning industry, but cases like this always make me stop and think. How does a home get to this point? Is it a lifestyle choice, or are people just struggling to cope?
