Rat
It’s a lot more common than people think for rats to get into your home and it is often no reflection of the condition of the home. We have had to deal with rat problems in everything from mobile homes to multi million euro homes and everything in between.
Rats most commonly coming from your waste water system and have no idea what sort of a house it is until they are in.
We have the experience and equipment needed to permanently solve any rat problem in a short space of time and at minimal expense. Raisin sized droppings roughly.
Please call to discuss the treatment plan.
Mice
Mice are even more common in people’s homes than rats. Mice nearly always make their way into a house at ground level on the outside and work their way through the wall cavity and the first the homeowner knows about it is there hearing noises in the attic. Grain of rice size droppings.
Please call us to discuss the problem further.
Flies
Knowing the fly species will determine why the fly is there and help us create a tailor made treatment plan. Rarely will a once of fly insecticide treatment be a permanent solution to any fly problem but there is always a solution.

Ant
Ants are seasonal pests. We can treat as they appear and keep them under control no problem but they can return next year as the area can always be infested from outside your property.
In Ireland the main two ants we see is black garden ants and red ants. Red ants bite black ants do not bite.
Wasps
Wasp activity doesn’t start till at least July. If you see a large wasp at the start of the year, it’s probably a female after coming out of sleep over the winter looking for a warm spot to come back to life and a place to start a nest for this year.
