Our Range of Pest Control Services in Hull
Residential and Commercial Expertise
Hull’s diverse mix of historic buildings, bustling commercial districts, and picturesque residential areas create unique challenges when it comes to pest control. We’re well-equipped to handle these complexities, offering tailored pest management solutions for both homeowners and businesses.
Whether it’s a rodent problem in a Georgian townhouse near Hull Old Town, an ant infestation in a modern apartment complex, or bird control for commercial properties along Humber Street and the Marina, you will receive comprehensive, long-term pest management.
Our services cover a wide spectrum of pests, including:
- Rodents (rats, mice, and squirrels)
- Insects (ants, wasps, bed bugs, cockroaches, and more)
- Birds (pigeons, seagulls, sparrows, and other urban pests)
Our Orkin Pros implement preventative measures and ongoing management plans, ensuring properties remain safe and pest-free all year round. This proactive approach not only addresses immediate pest issues but also prevents future infestations, offering long-term peace of mind to property owners in Hull.
Seasonal Pest Problems in Hull
Hull’s coastal climate and proximity to the Humber River create a variety of seasonal pest challenges:
Spring and Summer: Warmer months bring increased activity from wasps, ants, and flies. Hull’s public parks and riverbanks are common hotspots for these pests, especially near popular areas like East Park and Pearson Park.
Autumn: As temperatures drop, rodents seek warmth and shelter, often making their way into homes and commercial buildings. Our rodent control services help keep properties protected during these vulnerable months.
Winter: Pigeons and other birds become more problematic as they search for warmth and nesting spots. Our bird control solutions are designed to manage these seasonal populations effectively.
Specialist Pigeon and Bird Control Services
Hull’s distinctive urban landscape, marked by historic architecture and bustling commercial districts, provides ideal nesting and roosting spots for pigeons and other birds. But we have humane bird control solutions designed to prevent pigeons from settling where they aren’t wanted. These methods include:
- Deterrents: We discourage roosting with a range of spikes, wires, and gel applications.
- Exclusion Techniques: We utilise netting and physical barriers to block access to common nesting sites.
- Site Sanitation: Once an infestation is cleared, we clean and treat the site to remove nests and deter re-infestation.
Our Pricing and Consultation Process
For simple, one-off issues, such as a wasp nest removal, we can provide immediate quotes over the phone. This streamlined approach allows you to get the help you need quickly and efficiently, without unnecessary delays.
For more complex infestations, like rodent control in commercial buildings or comprehensive bird deterrent solutions, a trained Orkin UK Pro will conduct a detailed on-site inspection before providing a quote. This ensures that every aspect of the pest problem is understood before a quote is provided, ensuring there are no hidden fees or surprises.
Legionella Control and Management Services
Legionella Testing and Risk Assessments
Legionella bacteria thrive in water systems where conditions allow for their growth, posing serious health risks if left unmanaged. Our Legionella testing and risk assessments are designed to identify, prevent, and manage these risks efficiently.
Here’s how we ensure safety and legal compliance:

These services help property owners in Hull maintain compliance with UK Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guidelines, safeguarding the health of residents, employees, and visitors alike.

- Recognising risk factors in water systems.
- Implementing preventative measures to limit bacterial growth.

These courses are ideal for facility managers, landlords, and business owners in Hull, empowering them with the knowledge needed to protect their premises and occupants.
