What is a pest?

A pest is a bird, insect, animal or rodent that encroaches on your space; this can be in a property or in the garden, outbuildings and so on. In most cases, a pest is just a nuisance but can also present a danger to humans and this is why it is important to deal with any pest quickly and effectively.

Can all pests be eradicated?

Insects, animals, birds and rodents naturally live all around us and they form an important part of the local environment. In would be unnecessary and, in some cases impossible to eradicate them completely.

However, when they are in your home or business premises, or even in your outdoor space, they can be eradicated or controlled to such an extent, that they no longer encroach on your space.

Why do pests need dealing with?

There are three main reasons;

• Uncomfortable – sharing your Balham home or business with any pest in not a comfortable or welcomed experience
• Hazards – some pests spread disease, as well as being a hazard to human health
• Damage – allowing some pests in to a property to remain there also means that they could be causing damage as they gnaw or shred materials and so on

Why choose the professional approach?

Some people choose to tackle a pest infestation on their own with shop bought treatments but, if used incorrectly, they can actually encourage and spread an infestation. Using professional pest control services means that you get;

• Qualified help – I hold a level 2 award in ‘Pest Control & Management’, awarded by the Royal Society of Public Health. This comprehensive qualification means that I can safely and effectively deal with all pests in all kinds of situations.
• Safe – the use of some insecticides and pesticides should be done so only by qualified and expert technicians and, as a member of the National Pest Technicians Association, I am up to date on all recent changes to use of chemicals, as well as other regulations.
• Humane – it is a criminal offence to cause unnecessary suffering to any bird or animal thus, relying on a professional pest controllers such as West London Pest Control means that all birds and animals are dealt with correctly.
• Specialist – there are many specialist courses and qualifications that pest controllers can access and, as a member of Basis PROMPT, I have completed many additional qualifications, as well as risk assessment training and so on.
• Empathetic – with 20 years military service, I also understand the need to deal with issues in a calm and controlled way; I also understand that all SW12 customers need a discreet, effective pest control response.
