Pest control services in Dorchester
Heat treatment for bed bugs, fleas, moths and cockroaches
Our heat treatment takes rooms to around 56–60°C, a temperature bed bugs, fleas, moths, carpet beetles and cockroaches cannot survive, including their eggs. Temperature sensors are used to check there are no cold spots. See also bed bug heat treatment.
About our guarantee: only whole-property heat treatment – every room of the house or flat – comes with our pest-free guarantee of up to 6 months. Partial treatments and other services do not carry it, because infestations rarely stay in one room.
Cockroach control
For cockroaches we use heat treatment or gel baits. The gel includes an attractant: cockroaches eat it, return to their hiding places and spread the insecticide through the colony. Where an infestation needs it, we return for follow-up visits.
Wasp nest removal
Wasp nests are found, treated with a professional insecticide and removed when safe and accessible, with advice to reduce the chance of new nests.
Rat and mouse control
We trace how rodents are getting in, place secure bait stations, return for follow-ups when needed and advise on proofing.
Flea treatment
We choose heat treatment or another suitable method for your home, and recommend speaking to your vet about treating pets.
