At EBC Pest Control we cover a wide range of pest control and pest prevention. We prevent future infestations by proofing buildings using the most up-to-date methods and materials. This is the most cost effective way to deal with most pests.
We are happy to survey your premises for a free quotation. All works are guaranteed. We can offer solutions to safeguard your premises, your staff, customers and visitors.
We offer pest control services to councils, public buildings, housing associations, dockyards, factories, warehouses, offices, restaurants, letting agents, landlords and farms.
Pests we manage include birds, bees, wasps, rats, mice, moles, ants, cockroaches, fleas, flies and more.
Pigeons are a major problem in many towns and cities. They can breed all year round. Other birds that infest buildings include Starlings, House Sparrows and Herring Gulls. Nesting materials can block chimneys and guttering resulting in issues with carbon monoxide and damage to buildings.
Bird controlAt Edwards we believe in looking after our wildlife and nature. We offer free advice and different methods of controlling and managing any bee colony, and we don’t generally treat bees as pests.
Bee removalWasps nest underground and in cavities in trees, walls and buildings, and often in loft spaces. We also deal with ants, including the common black ant and the Pharaoh ant, which can be controlled by formations and organic products, plus cockroaches, fleas and flies.
Wasp nestsThe brown rat is the most common rat in the UK, and if you live in a town you are probably no more than 15 meters from one. Brown and black rats can be controlled using rodenticide, trapping and proofing measures. We deal with mice and moles too.
We can also clean guano caused by a pest infestation. We are also trained in specialist cleaning services, including medical and crime-scene cleaning, as well as deep-cleaning of premises.
There are a variety of control methods. The right one will depend on the bird, the location and the extent of the infestation. Removal of pigeons and their droppings must be carried out with great care: the droppings can be slippery and can carry diseases such as Ornithosis, Salmonella and E-Coli.
Preventing birds from getting onto or into the property is usually the most effective method of control. It is usually possible to complete this without harming the birds. Pigeon proofing needs specialist equipment, and we keep a large selection of materials designed to keep birds off and out of buildings and loft spaces. We supply and fit carefully chosen anti-pigeon nets, anti-roosting wires and bird spikes.
This can be an effective form of control where proofing cannot be carried out successfully. Finding a suitable site for trapping is essential. The cage trap is usually baited with pigeon corn for around 7 days.
“Excellent Service in fitting and maintaining two nest diverters. I can recommend.”
“We were within our warranty after a job involving fitting spikes in gutters after cleaning them to deter pigeons nesting in them; so when we noticed a piece of spike had been dislodged we contacted them to return and replace the spike. They returned soon after we contacted them and replaced them without any issues.”
We are trained in removal of bees. We will re-home them, rather than kill them. Destroying a swarm of bees is considered only as the last resort, if it is not possible to remove it safely.
There are 200 types of bees in the UK. They tend to be more active in the warmer seasons and hibernate in the cold weather. The bee population is on the decline, and they play a vital role in the pollination of crops. For that reason we don’t generally treat bees as pests. We will only remove them if they are causing distress.
There are seven species of wasp in the UK. The most common are the ‘common wasp’ and the ‘German wasp’. Both species nest underground and in cavities in trees, walls and buildings. They also have the tendency to nest in loft spaces. If left alone, wasps are not normally aggressive.
These wasps can be controlled with dust formation and organic products. They can also be removed at night if the area is accessible.
Removal of pigeons and their droppings must be carried out with great care. We can also clean guano caused by a pest infestation.
