Pest Control Gloucester

Welcome to Pestforce Pest Control Gloucester.

I’m Jock Muirhead and I am a fully qualified pest controller and offer a full, comprehensive pest control and management service in Gloucester and all surrounding areas.

Living locally in Gloucester means that I have an excellent understanding of the locality and some of the prevalent pest control issues.

When you contact me, I guarantee you’ll receive;

• a free, comprehensive survey
• a no obligation quote for the work
• a professional, efficient service
• a competitive price, with an additional discount for pensioners
• pest control methods (including equipment and chemicals) that are child, pet and environmentally friendly

I deal with a wide variety of pest control problems and have successfully dealt with;

Rats, mice and squirrels all prefer nice warm insulated building rather being out in the cold and wet. Not only do these animals cause damage to the fabric of a building, they also gnaw through electric cables (see above photo for evidence of squirrel damage to a cable) in attics posing a severe risk of fire unbeknown to the occupants. I carry out treatments for these pests using a variety of humane traps and rodenticides. Call Pestforce Gloucester for a FREE quote and survey!

Wasp and hornet problems can also be of great concern, as they can build their nests in high ‘human traffic’ area. Wasps and hornets don’t like to be disturbed and if they feel under threat or attack, they can act defensively by swarming as a group with people receiving multiple nasty stings. We can quickly and easily remove the problem – and if we have to come back to the same nest, we will treat the problem for free! I provide a specialist wasp nest removal Gloucester service.

Birds can be a nuisance in Gloucester, whether its starlings, seagulls or pigeons. Bird proofing methods are an excellent investment on buildings as roosting pigeons, for example, can cause expensive damage in a relatively short period of time. This damage can be visible but there can also be hidden problems, such as bird mites, fleas, ticks, beetles, maggots and flies. I currently work with a local authority housing programme to complete the installation of a large pigeon netting and trapping programme. Bird proofing – which can include netting and spiking – offers an effective solution to bird problems on domestic properties, businesses and factories.

All bees whether swarming or already established will not sting if left unprovoked and should always be left undisturbed if possible. If honeybees are swarming and causing a public safety issue we will endeavour to relocate the bees with a local beekeeper. Pestforce Gloucester will always try to relocate all bees, as they are very important for our environment. Please call Pestforce Gloucester for advice and a free quote. Bumblebees are very docile creatures and will not sting unless seriously provoked. Nests can usually be left well alone. However if Bumblebees are causing a serious issue, Pestforce Gloucester does offer a bumblebee nest removal service where possible, and safely relocate the bees elsewhere in the county.

Spiders have recently received a great deal of publicity in the national media. In the Gloucester area there has been a significant rise in reported sightings of False Widow Spiders(Steatoda nobilis). These spiders do only bite in self defence and in most cases these bites are similar to a wasp sting, however it has been known for a small number of people to suffer with an extreme reaction to a bite. I have recently been called to several properties including schools to carry out treatments for these spiders. you are most likely to observe the spiders in garages, sheds and around doors and window ledges.

How I work & can help:

At a time convenient for you, I will carry out a survey, explaining fully what I’ve found and how it can be treated or solved. You can be confident that I will deal quickly with your problem, no matter how large or small.

Here are a few examples of my work:

• Cleaning flats, apartments and houses after tenants with pets have left, eradicating fleas or any other problems so that the landlord or letting agency has a clean property to re-let.
• I’ve eradicated and controlled pest issues in domestic properties including sheltered housing, student flats as well as outdoor areas such as farms, sporting facilities (e.g. golf courses, bowling green etc).
• I’ve worked at commercial premises including pubs, hotels and other food outlets. We offer commercial customers a competitive annual package, payable over 4 easy instalments. As well as effective pest control you’ll also receive a comprehensive service record.

In fact, I can work in any situation where there is a pest control problem. I don’t charge a call out fee during normal working hours 0800hrs - 1800hrs.
