From active and thriving… to completely banished. 🪳🚫

Cockroaches might be thriving when we first arrive, but they certainly won't be getting comfortable!

This is what effective pest management looks like. A methodical, targeted treatment process designed to tackle cockroach activity at its source, disrupt the infestation and bring it under control.

At Pests Controlled Ltd, we don't believe in quick fixes or simply treating what you can see.

Our approach focuses on:

🔎 Identifying activity and harbourage areas.
🎯 Targeted, professional treatment applications.
📋 A structured, methodical treatment programme.
✅ Monitoring progress and achieving effective control.

The difference is in the approach, the attention to detail and the process behind the treatment.

🐀 STOP RATS GETTING IN!

Out of sight doesn’t mean out of reach when it comes to rats. That’s why installing rat flaps can be an important part of an effective rodent-proofing strategy. 🔧
Rat flaps are one-way valves fitted to suitable drainage pipework, allowing wastewater to flow out while helping prevent rats from travelling back up the drain and entering a property.
✅ Help prevent rat ingress through connected drainage systems.
✅ Reduce the risk of infestations by blocking a potential route into your property.
✅ Protect your premises from the damage, contamination and disruption associated with rats.
✅ Support long-term rodent management alongside proofing, monitoring and professional pest control.

🐀 Why are they important?

Rats can exploit defects in drainage systems to gain access to buildings. Treating the rats you can see is only part of the solution. Identifying and addressing how they're getting in is key to reducing the risk of repeat problems.
At Pests Controlled Ltd, we focus on more than just treating the symptoms. We look at the bigger picture, helping identify access points and implement practical measures to prevent future activity.

🚨 WHAT’S HIDING UNDER YOUR DECKING? 🐀

This inspection revealed a heavily decking area with plenty of hidden voids, debris and potential harbourage beneath the structure.

Areas like this can provide the perfect conditions for rodents and other pests to establish themselves, particularly where there is shelter, food sources and undisturbed ground.

🔎 A thorough inspection is often where the real problem is found.

Our approach is about more than simply treating what you can see. We identify harbourage areas, access points and the conditions allowing pest activity to thrive, then recommend the appropriate control measures.

If you’ve got rodents around your property, don’t just treat the symptoms. Find out why they’re there in the first place.

🪳 German Cockroaches Found in a Kitchen 🪳

This video shows exactly why a German cockroach infestation shouldn’t be ignored.

German cockroaches are small, fast-moving and incredibly good at hiding. They can squeeze into tiny gaps around kitchen units, appliances, pipework and other warm areas, allowing an infestation to quickly become established.

In this case, we found active German cockroach activity within the kitchen, highlighting the importance of a thorough inspection and professional treatment plan.

🚨 Signs to look out for include:
• Live cockroaches, particularly at night
• Small dark droppings around cupboards and appliances
• Cockroach eggs/egg cases
• Unpleasant odours
• Cockroaches hiding around warm, damp areas

A few cockroaches can be the tip of the iceberg. Where you see one, there may be many more hiding out of sight.

Professional cockroach control involves more than simply spraying what you can see. Identifying harbourages, understanding the extent of the infestation and using an appropriate treatment strategy are all crucial to getting the problem under control.

🐇 Rabbit Infestation at a Care Home 🐇

These images show just how serious a rabbit problem can become when a population gets out of control.

We were called to a care home where rabbits had taken over parts of the gardens, creating extensive burrowing throughout the grounds. Multiple burrows and tunnel entrances were present, leaving the ground heavily disturbed and potentially creating trip hazards for residents, staff and visitors.

Beyond the damage to the gardens, large rabbit populations can cause ongoing problems with:
🌱 Damage to lawns, plants and flower beds
🕳️ Extensive burrowing and ground instability
⚠️ Potential trip hazards
🐇 Rapid population growth
🔧 Ongoing maintenance and repair costs

For care homes, managing wildlife issues is particularly important where outdoor areas are regularly used by residents.

Our team assessed the extent of the activity and put together a professional rabbit control strategy designed around the site and its residents.

Another example of why early intervention can prevent a small rabbit problem from becoming a full-scale warren takeover! 🐇💨

🐦 Another pigeon fouling problem solved! 🧹

Pigeons had been regularly landing on the roof above this property’s doorstep, leaving behind a nasty build-up of fouling and creating an ongoing cleaning problem for the homeowner.

We installed pigeon deterrent spikes along the relevant areas of the roof to prevent the birds from landing and roosting there, helping to keep the entrance cleaner and more hygienic.

✅ Professional pigeon control
✅ Discreet installation
✅ Helps prevent fouling and mess
✅ Protects the property and entrance
✅ A long-term deterrent without harming the birds

Pigeon fouling can be more than just unsightly. It can be corrosive, slippery and unhygienic, so preventing the birds from settling in the first place is often the best solution.

🏚️ Broken roof tiles… and an entire loft taken over by pigeons. 🐦

This loft became home to a large number of pigeons after they gained access through a single broken roof tile.

Over time they established nests, contaminated the insulation and filled the loft with droppings, feathers and debris. What starts as a small maintenance issue can quickly become a costly clean-up.

Pigeon infestations can lead to:
✅ Extensive contamination of loft insulation
✅ Damage to stored items
✅ Unpleasant odours
✅ Bird mites and other associated pests
✅ Increased repair and cleaning costs

Did you know?

Many people assume pigeons can simply be removed, but it’s not that straightforward.

Under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, all wild birds are protected. While feral pigeons may be controlled in certain circumstances under Natural England’s General Licences, any action must meet strict legal conditions, and trapping birds inside a loft to die or destroying active nests unlawfully is an offence.

The best solution is always prevention. Regular roof inspections, repairing damaged tiles and proofing potential entry points can stop a minor defect becoming a major infestation.

If you’re hearing cooing, scratching or fluttering in your loft, don’t leave it until it looks like this.

Pests Controlled Ltd provides professional bird management, loft inspections, proofing solutions and contamination clean-up across the North East.

🐝🚫 Wasp Nest Successfully Treated & Removed

Another wasp nest safely dealt with today! After locating the nest, a professional treatment was applied to eliminate the colony before the nest was carefully removed from the property.

Wasps can become increasingly aggressive as the colony grows, making DIY removal risky and often ineffective. Professional treatment ensures the problem is dealt with safely and thoroughly.

If you’ve noticed increased wasp activity around your home or business, don’t wait until the nest gets larger. Early intervention can save time, money, and potential stings.

🐦☀️ Preventative Solar Panel Pigeon Proofing Completed in Billingham ☀️🐦

We’ve recently completed a solar panel pigeon proofing installation in Billingham, helping the homeowner prevent future pigeon nesting issues before they start.

The space beneath solar panels provides an ideal sheltered area for pigeons to roost and nest. Once established, they can create significant problems, including:

✅ Bird fouling on roofs, driveways and patios
✅ Blocked gutters and drainage systems
✅ Noise and disturbance from nesting activity
✅ Bird mites migrating into the property
✅ Damage to wiring and components beneath the panels
✅ Ongoing cleaning and maintenance costs

As this was a preventative installation, the customer chose to protect their solar panel system before pigeons had the opportunity to gain access and become established.

A high-quality proofing system was installed around the perimeter of the solar array, preventing access while maintaining airflow and the performance of the panels.

Prevention is always more cost-effective than dealing with a full-scale pigeon infestation later on.
