Pigeons
Birds nesting on your property, especially under solar panels, can cause significant damage. Their acidic droppings can corrode vital components over time.
We offer specialist bird prevention, proofing, and control services for both domestic and commercial properties.
Dealing with birds requires specific skills and equipment.
If you have a problem with pigeons or other birds, contact us today for a no-obligation quote, or to book a site visit and find the best solution for your property.
Squirrels
The invasive Grey Squirrel has spread widely across England and Wales since its introduction, posing a threat to property.
Protecting your home or business begins with identifying the problem and implementing preventative measures. Grey Squirrels cause significant damage, and their removal must be managed properly.
Full Guard Pest Control adheres strictly to all current legislation. Because we are legally prohibited from releasing this invasive species back into the wild, we guarantee all effective removal methods are performed as humanely and compliantly as possible.
Mice
Mice are dirty, crafty, and reproduce rapidly, allowing a small issue to quickly escalate into a severe infestation in any property.
Whether in a domestic home or a commercial business, mice pose serious health risks, cause significant property damage, and can severely impact a business's reputation and bottom line.
Full Guard Pest Control specialises in both responsive and proactive, preventative mouse control. We use modern techniques to quickly address active problems and ensure your property remains protected year-round.
Rats
Rat infestations are a serious concern for both homeowners and businesses.
For homeowners, discovering rats can be unsettling, and knowing the right steps for effective removal is often unclear.
For businesses, the stakes are higher: a rat problem immediately threatens your brand reputation, employee morale, and operational efficiency, leading to inventory loss, property damage, and profit decline. Whether domestic or commercial, trust Full Guard Pest Control for the professional expertise and targeted, effective solutions needed for complete rat removal and long-term proofing.
Wasps
While the UK is home to thousands of species, you're most likely to encounter the Common Wasp and European Hornet.
Wasps will aggressively defend their nests; disturbing one releases a pheromone that quickly triggers a swarm. These extraordinary paper nests are often built in sheltered areas, including your loft or attic.
Since nests are found in diverse locations, treatment varies. Full Guard Pest Control uses a targeted approach, typically applying a specialist insecticide directly to the nest to ensure complete and effective eradication of the queen and colony.
Ants
Ant infestations, especially those that peak in warmer months, can be a constant, itchy irritation for domestic properties.
For commercial environments, dealing with such a populous pest is particularly challenging. This is exceptionally important where foodstuffs or sterile conditions are involved, as ants pose a serious contamination risk and can undermine hygiene standards.
Whether for your home or business, it is always best to consult Full Guard Pest Control. We provide professional treatment to ensure the infestation is completely and effectively eradicated.
Bed Bugs
The bed bug is a notorious pest, easily spread via increased travel and second-hand furniture, thriving in high-density areas like flats and hotels.
These blood-feeding pests are prolific and can survive dormant for months. As they are increasingly showing signs of insecticide resistance, we champion Heat Treatments—the most reliable method for complete eradication. This precise strategy uses controlled, sustained heat to kill bed bugs and their eggs in a single treatment.
Trust Full Guard Pest Control for the removal expertise needed to completely eradicate this vermin from your property.
Fleas
Fleas are small, dark, wingless parasites that are exceptional jumpers, allowing them to quickly reach and feed on the blood of their hosts.
Though the most common species primarily prefer dogs and cats, they readily bite humans as well. Their saliva prevents immediate detection, but the result is often severe irritation and persistent itching. Beyond the discomfort, flea bites can also pose a serious health risk to both pets and people.
Although fleas rarely feed exclusively on humans, flea bites can still pose a serious health hazard.
Moths
Getting rid of a moth infestation in any setting can be difficult, as the larvae secretly destroy valuable materials.
For domestic properties, Full Guard offers multiple professional treatments to promptly and effectively eradicate the infestation, protecting your clothing, rugs, and upholstery.
For commercial businesses dealing in textiles, fabrics, carpets, or woollen garments, a moth infestation can be disastrous, potentially ruining stock and contaminating stored products or foodstuffs. Furthermore, an untreated infestation may lead to non-compliance with hygiene and storage legislation.
