Common Pests We See in Cambridge
Cambridge’s unique environment, from its historic buildings to its proximity to green spaces and agricultural areas, creates the perfect habitat for a range of pests.
In the city’s historic buildings and student accommodations, bedbugs and cockroaches are common issues, while rodents often seek shelter in winter, especially around the University of Cambridge and other high-density areas. Additionally, the city’s proximity to farmland makes it susceptible to pests like ants, fleas, and flies.
Seasonally, pests also vary. In the warmer months, wasps can become a significant problem, particularly during late summer, while colder months bring increased rodent activity as mice and rats look for warmth in homes and businesses. Understanding these seasonal patterns is the key to managing pest issues in Cambridge effectively.
Legionella Testing and Risk Assessments
We offer comprehensive Legionella risk assessments and testing services, conducted by our experienced team of experts. We assess water systems, identify potential risks, and recommend tailored solutions to manage and prevent Legionella growth. Our services are designed to help you stay compliant while providing peace of mind that your property is safe from Legionella hazards.


Why Get a Legionella Risk Assessment in Cambridge?
Legionella is a harmful bacterium that thrives in water systems and can cause serious respiratory illnesses, including Legionnaires’ disease, a potentially fatal form of pneumonia. Both residential and commercial properties must comply with health and safety regulations to mitigate the risk of Legionella outbreaks.
Whether you’re managing a home, office, or business in the hospitality or healthcare sector, ensuring that your water systems are safe is essential to protecting your health and complying with local regulations.
