Pest control services in Reading
Heat treatment for bed bugs, fleas, moths and cockroaches
Industrial heaters and circulation fans raise the property to around 56–60°C, killing bed bugs, fleas, clothes moths, carpet beetles and cockroaches at every life stage without chemical sprays. Sensors confirm the target temperature is reached throughout. See also bed bug heat treatment.
Guarantee: heat treatment of the whole house or flat carries a pest-free guarantee of up to 6 months. Because insects spread from room to room, single-room treatments and our other services are not covered.
Cockroach control
Cockroaches, including German cockroaches, can be treated with heat or with insecticidal gel baits. Gel baits contain a food attractant; cockroaches feed on them and carry the insecticide back to the colony, where it passes to others – the cascade effect. Follow-up visits are arranged where needed.
Wasp nest removal
We locate the nest, treat it with professional insecticide and remove it once it is safe and reachable.
Rat and mouse control
Tamper-proof bait stations, follow-up visits where needed and advice on sealing entry points.
Flea treatment
Chemical-free heat treatment or other suitable methods, with advice on treating pets alongside your vet.
