After an infestation
Disinfection after an infestation
We come in after the treatment, never instead of it. Pest control is a licensed trade; restoration is ours.
The order of operations
An infestation is first dealt with by a licensed pest-control firm, which lays the bait, treats the population and records the findings. Our work comes after: removal of soiling, disinfection of surfaces and substrates, treatment of nesting areas, restoration.
Reversing the two achieves nothing. A disinfection laid over a live population is redone within the month, and the cost is paid twice. We turn down work that is asked of us in that order, and we explain why.
In warehouses and transit sheds
The building keeps running while we work. We agree an aisle plan with the facility manager so the operation continues across the rest of the volume, and we move zone by zone rather than closing the whole shed.
Traceability — products, dilutions, surfaces, times, aisles — is handed over at the end and goes into the site file. That document is what serves later in an inspection or a cargo claim.
What the work covers
Removal of soiling
Droppings, nests, residues, contaminated materials.
Disinfection
Floors, walls, structures and accessible substrates.
Zoning
Aisle plan agreed with the facility manager before we start.
Traceability
Products, dilutions, surfaces, times. Handed over at the end.
What governs the lead time
Two things: completion of the pest-control treatment, which is not ours to schedule, and the port access pass where the building sits inside a restricted area. We work to the pest-control contractor rather than chasing behind them.
What we will not do
We are not a licensed pest-control firm. We apply no pest-control product, we lay no bait and we issue no infestation findings. We record what we see, we report it, and we point you elsewhere.
Questions about this service
- Can you deal with the pests themselves?
- No. It is a licensed activity, with its own approvals and applicator certificates, which we do not hold and do not claim. We work alongside a licensed contractor, on disinfection and restoration.
- Does the warehouse have to stop?
- Rarely in full. We work aisle by aisle to a plan agreed with the facility manager, which lets you keep loading and shipping across the rest of the building. Only the aisles being treated are out of use, and for the time announced.
