Having specialised in pest control services for over a combined 65 years, Obsidian Environmental possesses a great understanding of the world of pests and how to combat them effectively. Especially in Central London, one of the most densely populated areas of the UK.
Here are just some of the common questions we are frequently asked. If there's something we haven't covered or you wish to discuss further, please do not hesitate to get in touch to speak to a BPCA qualified expert.
How much does pest control cost in London?
The cost of pest control in London depends highly on the type of pest and the extent of the problem that the pest presents.
Some pests can be much more stubborn than others, requiring multiple treatments.
Premises also all vary in size, some being smaller residential and others more complex commercial locations in underground basements and tunnels.
If you think or have a pest problem, speak to one of our experts today who will review your situation and recommend the next best steps.
Why am I getting pests? What attracts them?
Food, waste, humidity, unsanitary and exposed entry points are the common factors which attract pests.
Construction sites, poor waste management and seasonal changes are some of the leading factors contributing to many of Central London’s growing pest problems.
Simple methods such as ensuring your premises are kept clean, updating your business’s sanitary policies, decluttering & repairing pest entry points are all ways you can reduce unwanted visitors.
If you’d like one of our experts to review your premises and give you professional advice, book a callout today.
What pests do I have? How can I identify them?
Identifying pests can be tricky. With many of the UK’s estimated 24,000 different species of insects alone living in London, getting the right advice can be the difference between successful pest prevention and dealing with recurring issues.
Rodent numbers are on the rise, leading to more frequent sightings and infestations. Knowing the exact type of pest you have is vital, especially if you are attempting to lay poison or other deterrents yourself.
The best advice is to speak to a qualified expert, who will be able to assess your situation and advise on the best treatment going forward.
Can I treat pests myself?
DIY methods like sprays, traps, baits, and repellents can work for mild infestations, but many pest problems require professional-grade solutions.
At Obsidian, we provide well-researched, proven pest control treatments including:-
- Certified inspection
- Targeted treatments including pest prevention, drain surveys & sanitation.
- Routine follow-ups to offer long-lasting protection
Speaking to an expert not only gives you peace of mind, but it reduces the risk of disease, sickness and stress through the removal of harmful pests. Contact us today if you’d like to learn more or have a growing pest problem of your own.
