Fife Rat Control

Even the smallest of rats can cause the biggest of hazards, from electrical fires to long term structural damage. That’s why we have an effective and efficient Fife rat control method not just to remove the rats but to try to prevent them from returning.

We can adapt the pest control to the infestation location, from the tiniest of indoor crawl spaces to an issue outdoors. Our initial consultation will provide you with the best option to help you remove rats from your home. We can also help you with a range of rat removal solutions, including baits, traps, and poisons if required.

Fife Mice Control

We’ve all been there, sitting in our living room or office, when suddenly a mouse zips in front of you. You immediately worry whether it’s just the one, or there’s more scurrying about unseen. With Pestforce Pest Control Fife mice control, we can take away the uncertainty of your mice problem by carrying out a consultation.

Our expert mice pest controllers will assess the level of your mice infestation and establish how they are entering your home. Mice can have multiple entry points into the property, meaning that merely patching up one point yourself may not fix the issue. We’re happy to go the extra mile in mice pest control prevention by blocking entry and exit points for the mice to try to prevent future pests from entering your home.

Fife Bee’s Nest Removal 

The joy of a gentle buzz can quickly become worrying if you spot a bee nest in or around your property. It might seem daunting to think about removing bees from your property when they are so essential for our environment. Pestforce aims to protect bees, which is why our Fife bee control is more of a bee rehoming and nest removal in Fife.

Wherever possible, we entirely avoid treatments and actively protect bees by harmlessly removing them from your property, and rehoming them somewhere safe. Although bees are vital for the planet, we completely understand that bees pose a serious risk to those with allergies. That’s why we invest in the latest bee control techniques and safety standards to quietly, calmly, and efficiently remove the bees from your property.

Fife Squirrel Control

Are your bird feeders falling prey to a cheeky grey squirrel? If you find the food you put out to feed your feathered friends is getting gobbled by a grey squirrel, you might need Fife squirrel control. Whether it’s your bird feeders or the bark of your tree that is getting gnawed away, you can come to us for help in removing these four-legged pests.

Red squirrels are protected in the UK, so we can only offer advice on keeping them away from your garden. Grey squirrels are not protected or a native species and were introduced in Victorian times to the UK. The red squirrel population has diminished since then, which is why they are protected. Grey squirrels are a far more significant problem, and we have a more comprehensive range of solutions on hand to dispel them from your garden.

Removing birds might seem like a complex pest problem in Fife, especially when you consider the clean-up. Our Fife bird control and pigeon proofing techniques are comprehensive, cost-effective, and include clean-up at the end of the service.

You might also be concerned about removing birds if they are protected species. Our 360 bird control solutions accurately assess the species so we can provide the safest and most environmentally friendly advice possible. We go the extra mile in removing birds in Fife by:

• Working to your brief, budget and the bird type
• Getting you involved in the planning and consultation to ensure you are happy
• Carrying out quick and effective removal or resettlement in the agreed timeframes

Fife Bed Bug Control

If you’re waking up to multiple bug bites or smelling an unpleasant scent in your home, you may need Fife bed bug control. Bed bugs are small but extremely difficult to get rid of, which is why you need the help of a Pestforce professional in Fife.

Bed bugs are traditionally named as they are found in bedrooms, but often hide behind furniture, in cracks or behind headboards. That’s why they’re so hard to miss - a good indication is if you have little spots of blood on the bed alongside bites forming.

Fife Cockroach Control

Cockroaches make your skin crawl, which makes sense when you consider them as the original harbingers of contamination. Fife cockroach control with Pestforce can quickly remove this creepy-crawly from your home before they can taint your food or kitchen any further.

Our team will swiftly identify the type, whether Common, American, or German cockroach and ensure they are removed quickly from your property. We use an aerosol-based treatment to reach this hardy yet harmful insect directly. Many traditional methods of pest control don’t work as they won’t affect the cockroach, which is why calling a professional pest controller in Fife is so important.

Fife Flea Control

You don’t have to have a pet to have fleas in your home and need Fife flea control services. Fleas are a blight across Fife and can irritate pets, children, and adults alike once they’ve found a suitable host.

If you are being attacked by an infestation of tiny bites and suspect fleas, get in touch with our Pestforce professionals Fife for a consultation on what the issue is. We’ll be able to swiftly diagnose the problem and work with you on a treatment plan that is harmless to your pets and children while ultimately removing the pest problem from your property.

Commercial bakery site visit Dysar KY1 - 20/10/2020

Received a call from a bakery in Dysart, who are moving into new premises and looking to change from present pest control company due to pricing issues. I carried out a site visit and recorded the amount of rat boxes in the perimeter and  identified any possible problem areas such as broken drains or new access points. I then walked around inside the bakery production unit and carried out a survey of the inside also. I estimate needing around 30 mice boxes and 7 rat boxes to fully protect the site, plus additional traps for flour moths and beetles. I am waiting for the decision on the quotation that should come back this week.
This is a well know bakery and i would love to be working with them as they make some great cakes.

Cluster flies and wasps in Kelty home, KY4 - 13/10/2020

Received a call from a lovely couple in Kelty who had recently moved in to thier house, they called about a possible wasp problem and definite cluster fly problem. I attended the property and carried out a quick internal survey of the loft and discovered there was about 5 nests in the loft. Thankfully these were old nests and we could remove them safely. The cluster fly problem was also dealt with quickly by use of a fogging machine. A tidy up of the surrounding area sweeping up flies and removing the wasps nest resulted in a wasp and cluster fly free attic. 

Bluebottle infestation - 10/10/2020

Called out today for a blue bottle fly infestation in a house in Newport on Tay, the cycle of the fly starts from a maggot, it then moves into a pupae and from there then hatches into an adult fly. 

The main reasons for these infestations can come from the following source.
1. Poor bin hygiene, in that food products are not secured properly in bags and bin containers.
2. Dead mouse or rat at or in your property.
3. Dead bird on roof or in the grounds of the building.

The infestation was treated successfully by pestforce dundee, however maintaining good bin area hygiene and proofing your home against possible rodent invasion will limit the chances of your home being subjected to a fly infestation. After asking a few question, it was noted that a dead bird was found in the wood pile close to the kitchen area, where the infestation was. Although the bird had  been removed, its possible that the maggots had already made it into a small crack or crevice around the kitchen area and was then able to move into pupae stage. If you are worried about rodents making thier home in your home or finding more flies in your house than normal then give me a call.

This included removing the nest from the area it was in. Always good to see a happy customer who can now go into the loft without any fears of  being stung
