Keeping your home or business clean and pest-free starts with safe, structured pest control cleaning.
Unwanted guests like rodents, cockroaches, and ants can spread disease, damage property, and cause unnecessary stress.
Here’s our simple five-step guide to safe and effective pest control cleaning that helps protect your property and health.
Step 1: Assess and Secure the Infestation
Inspect your kitchen, storage areas, and other high-risk spaces for signs of pest activity — such as droppings, gnaw marks, or nests.
Seal entry points and isolate affected areas before applying any treatment.
Always wear gloves and use a torch for a safe inspection.
Step 2: Remove Clutter
Clutter gives pests the perfect hiding place.
Clear out old boxes, papers, and unused items, and store essential belongings in sealed plastic containers.
Keep floors clear and improve ventilation to prevent pest build-up.
Step 3: Clean with Approved Pest Control Products
Use only UK-approved, professional-grade pest control products.
Follow manufacturer guidance carefully, wear protective gloves, and treat only the identified problem areas.
Never over-apply sprays or powders — targeted treatments are safer and more effective.
Step 4: Disinfect Safely
Once pests are eliminated, disinfect all affected areas to remove bacteria and residues.
