Pest Risks In the Area
The city has a large distribution and food-processing sector, and warehousing, logistics units and food premises draw rodents looking for shelter and a steady food source. The city also sits in Cambridgeshire at the edge of the Fens, and the River Nene and surrounding drainage network give rats further routes between sites. Flat-roofed retail and commercial buildings attract gulls and pigeons, and shared rental housing sees recurring insect callouts. Knowing how pests move through this kind of environment lets our team treat the cause, not just the sighting.

Our technicians treat the full spread of local pest problems, from rodents and crawling insects to birds and stinging pests.
Pigeon Control
Flat commercial roofs and warehouse units across the area give pigeons an easy perch, and droppings quickly become a hygiene and drainage problem. EcoCare fits discreet netting, spikes, and wire deterrents suited to the building, keeping birds off ledges and rooflines without harming them.
Seagull Control
Gulls have become a growing nuisance on flat-roofed food-processing and retail buildings near the waterways, nesting and fouling in large numbers during the breeding season. Our non-toxic deterrents and exclusion systems move them on while keeping the treatment fully compliant with UK wildlife legislation.
Mice Control
Older terraced streets and newer estates both give mice a way in, whether through worn brickwork, gaps around pipework, or floor voids. We trace every entry point, apply safe, non-toxic baiting, and follow up with proofing so the same route cannot be used again.
Rat Control
Rats move easily along the drainage network and waterways that run through the area, surfacing in homes, food premises, and warehousing alike. EcoCare combines trapping, baiting, and rodent-proofing, with a check visit afterwards to confirm the infestation has cleared.
Bed Bug Control
Shared rental housing and multi-occupancy properties see the most frequent bed bug callouts, as infestations spread quickly between rooms. Our heat and non-toxic treatments clear every life stage, from eggs to adults, with clear aftercare guidance to stop them coming back.
Silverfish Control
Damp, poorly ventilated corners of older properties, bathrooms, kitchens, and loft spaces in particular, give silverfish the conditions they need to thrive. We treat with safe dusting agents and moisture management, along with practical advice to keep them from returning.
Wasp Nest Removal
Lofts, roof eaves, and garden outbuildings are common nesting spots during the warmer months, and an active nest close to a home or business needs quick attention. Our technicians remove nests safely using non-toxic products and full protective equipment.
Moth Control
Clothes and carpet moths cause lasting damage to textiles and stored goods in homes, and can spread through warehousing and storage units too. We identify the source in wardrobes, carpets, and storage areas, then apply non-toxic treatment with prevention advice included.
Hornet Control
A hornet nest near a home, garden, or commercial property calls for careful, prompt handling rather than a DIY attempt. Our certified technicians remove nests using specialist tools and eco-friendly products, with proofing advice to reduce the chance of a repeat nest nearby
Our Six-Step Treatment Method
We work to a set six-step method so nothing is missed, from the first inspection through to long-term prevention. Each stage is carried out by a BPCA-certified technician with care for the property and the people using it.
Detailed Property Inspection
We check entry points, nesting sites, and activity trails, using detection tools where needed, before any treatment is planned.
Customised Treatment Plan
The plan is built around the pest, the property layout, and the level of activity, so the approach is accurate rather than generic.
Active Pest Removal
Treatments use products authorised for professional use in the UK, applied at the lowest effective dose and chosen to suit the property and the people in it.
Rodent-Proofing Entry Points
After rodent work, we seal gaps, fit mesh, and close access routes through walls, voids, and drains to stop re-entry.
Follow-up and Monitoring Visits
We return to confirm the infestation is cleared and adjust treatment for stubborn or larger jobs until things are stable.
Expert Prevention Advice
Every visit ends with practical guidance on waste, moisture, and maintenance that keeps the property less attractive to pests.
Properties and Sectors We Support
We work across residential, commercial, and industrial settings throughout the area. From private homes and flats to hotels, restaurants, and leisure venues, and on to factories, warehousing, and agricultural sites, our technicians adapt treatment to the setting and the compliance needs that come with it. Businesses that need ongoing cover can add scheduled monitoring to stay on top of risk between visits.

FAQs

Based on 848 reviews
Which pests are most common in and around the area?
Rodents are the most frequent callout, driven by the district's food-processing units, warehousing, and waterway network. Gulls and pigeons are common on commercial rooftops, and bed bugs and cockroaches appear regularly in shared and rented housing. The right treatment depends on the property and the species, which is why every job starts with an inspection.
Do you offer pest control contracts for commercial premises?
Yes. Alongside one-off treatments, we provide scheduled monitoring contracts for businesses that need consistent cover, including food premises, warehousing, and managed sites. These combine regular inspections with priority response if new activity appears between visits.
How soon can a technician attend an urgent problem?
We keep availability open around the clock for urgent work, with same-day attendance offered where the schedule allows. When you get in touch, we will give you a realistic timeframe based on the severity and location of the problem
Are treatments safe to use around food preparation areas?
Yes. Our products and methods meet the standards required for kitchens and food premises, and work can be arranged outside trading hours to avoid disruption. Technicians follow food-safety-appropriate procedures and can document treatments for your records.
What are the early signs of a rodent problem?
Common early signs include droppings, gnaw marks on packaging or woodwork, a musty smell, and scratching noises in walls or ceilings at night. Grease marks along skirting and chewed cabling are also giveaways. If you notice any of these, an inspection can confirm the species and the extent before it spreads.
Do I need to leave my property while treatment is carried out?
In most cases, no. Many treatments allow you to stay, though for certain jobs we may ask you to keep out of a treated room for a short period. The technician will explain any access or ventilation steps for your specific treatment before starting.
Can you provide records of treatment for food-safety audits?
Yes. For food premises and other regulated sites, we can supply treatment records and reports suitable for audits and due-diligence files. Ongoing monitoring contracts include documented visits, which help businesses evidence compliance.
