Professional Pest Control on the Isle of Wight
Whether you’re a homeowner or a business owner, we tailor our pest control services to address your specific challenges. We also offer both one-off treatments and ongoing pest control contracts for large residential and commercial properties, giving you flexibility and peace of mind. Our solutions cover a wide range of pests, including:
- Rodents (mice, rats)
- Insects (ants, wasps, bed bugs)
- Birds (seagulls, pigeons)
We use the latest technology and science-backed methods to ensure that your pest problems are dealt with quickly and effectively. This includes things like heat treatments for bed bugs, humane traps for rodents, and spikes and netting for birds.
Our approach includes:
- Professional Surveys: We carry out a thorough inspection of your property to identify the source of the pest problem.
- Tailored Treatments: We provide customised solutions based on the type of pest and severity of the issue.
- Ongoing Contracts: If needed, we’ll offer a long-term pest management contract to provide continuous protection and prevent future infestations.
Localised Pests on the Isle of Wight
Rodents
Rodents, such as rats and mice, are a common problem, especially during colder months, when they will seek warmth and shelter in homes and businesses. Rodents are notorious for chewing through wiring, insulation, and even structural elements. This often leads to costly repairs and potential fire hazards.
When you contact our team to deal with your rodent infestation, you can expect:
- Inspections: We’ll identify the root cause of any infestation.
- Traps and Baiting Systems: Whenever possible we utilise non-toxic and highly effective traps.
- Exclusion: Our Orkin Pros will carefully seal any entry points to prevent future rodent access.
Insects
Seasonal insect infestations can also pose problems on the Isle of Wight, from ants in warmer months to wasps late in the summer. Insects not only cause physical damage but can also pose health risks.
Orkin UK offers expert control for:
- Ants: Ant infestations are particularly troublesome in kitchens and food preparation areas.
- Wasps: Wasps are a common sight in late summer and can create hazards for businesses and homes.
- Bed Bugs: Bed Bugs are a persistent problem in hotels and B&Bs, with the potential to cause great damage to reputation and reviews.
Bird Control
Birds, especially seagulls and pigeons, are a significant problem for properties near the coast, such as Ryde Pier and Cowes. These birds can cause damage to roofs, gutters, and facades, and their droppings can pose health risks. Orkin UK provides bird control services to prevent these issues:
- Seagull and Pigeon Deterrents: We’ll install safe and humane deterrents like bird spikes and netting.
- Nest Removal and Proofing: We can remove existing nests and ensure your property is protected against future nesting.
Our Legionella Control Services
Legionella bacteria is a potentially dangerous microorganism found in water systems, which can cause Legionnaires’ disease, a serious form of pneumonia. It thrives in stagnant water at temperatures between 20°C and 45°C, making buildings with water systems, such as hotels, restaurants, and healthcare facilities, particularly vulnerable. Managing Legionella risk is crucial for the health and safety of building occupants.
What We Offer
We offer comprehensive Legionella risk assessments and testing services. Our Pros conduct thorough evaluations of your water systems to identify potential hazards and ensure compliance with UK regulations. We assess all aspects of your water systems, from cooling towers to hot and cold water systems, ensuring any risks are identified and mitigated early.
We help businesses meet their legal obligations for Legionella control, providing detailed reports and recommendations for risk reduction. On the Isle of Wight, where older buildings with outdated plumbing systems are common, we are experienced in managing the unique challenges these properties present.
Booking Our Services
We offer a comprehensive range of Legionella prevention, control and water hygiene services to help businesses maintain safe and compliant water systems. Our expert team of Orkin Pros including Water Hygiene Technicians and Legionella Risk Assessors deliver tailored solutions that include risk assessments, water monitoring, sampling, tank cleaning and disinfection, thermostatic mixer valve servicing, tank replacements, and remedial works.
From initial assessment to ongoing maintenance, we ensure your water systems are effectively managed to minimise Legionella risks.
