Being inundated by a pest is no fun. For many people, it is an anxious and distressing time. Many people also find it embarrassing, especially if the pest is in their property and others are fearful of the pest.
And, there is good reason to be. Wasps can deliver a sting that is fatal is the person as allergic to the venom. Rats and mice constantly excrete urine which has a bacterium in it that can cause us to be very ill, should we ingest it. Cockroaches, as they scuttle along floors, walls and work surfaces spread salmonella which again, if ingested, can make us very ill.
Pests provoke a strong reaction in people and thus, many customers will attempt to deal with the pest infestation themselves. However, this is not a successful endeavour in many cases and the best option is to call in a professional pest controller.
I’m Gary Coates and, as part of West London Pest Control, I can successfully deal with any pest in any situation, in or around the property in KT10. And here’s why;
Knowledgeable – a pest is any bird, animal, insect or rodent that is unwelcome and unwanted in an area. Some can take up residence in outbuildings and cause damage, whilst some find their way into our homes. Knowing how and why a pest acts in the way that it does is key to effective pest control.
This knowledge comes through an abundance of qualifications and experience. Holding the ‘Pest Control & Management’ award from the Royal Society of Public Health, I have the ability to identify every pest common in the UK, as well as have at my disposal a range of control and eradication options and methods.
Specialist – some pest infestations and issues have increased of late and this could be due to the fact that our lifestyles have changed. When we change what we do, different pests are inadvertently encouraged; the urban fox, for example, realised how much easier it is to scavenge and feed in a town or city, that catching food in the wild.
As a member of the National Pest Technicians Association, I have a range of courses and specialist qualifications at my disposal to be able to deal with all manner of pest infestations and issues.
Professional – customers also want a service that is confidently delivered, and in a professional and timely manner. I am an active member of Basis PROMPT, a trade body that promotes professional standards in the pest control industry, in both practice and in conduct. With over 20 years’ experience in the military too, I understand the need to be prompt and reliable when people ask for help.
