Emergency advice — what to do before we arrive
The right first steps make the treatment faster and safer. Use these tips while you wait for a technician in Stevenage.
Rat infestation
- Don't block entry holes yet — trapped rats can die in cavities and cause odour issues
- Seal all food in glass or hard plastic containers
- Photograph any droppings or gnaw marks if safe — helps us size the job over the phone
- Keep pets away from any DIY bait until we've assessed the site
Wasp / hornet nest
- Stay 5+ metres away — do not spray, poke or knock the nest
- Close nearby windows and keep pets and children indoors
- Note the exact location (eaves, shed, ground) — it changes the treatment method
- Avoid DIY foggers near a live nest; they agitate wasps without killing the queen
Bed bug outbreak
- Do not move mattresses or bedding between rooms — this spreads the infestation
- Bag any clothing you need to wear and wash at 60°C+
- Don't spray shop-bought insecticides — they push bugs deeper into furniture
- Leave the room set up as-is so our technician can inspect harbourages accurately
Cockroach sighting
- For food businesses: isolate affected areas and record the sighting for your due-diligence log
- Don't deep-clean before we arrive — droppings help us confirm species and severity
- Empty and rinse cardboard packaging bins overnight
- Photograph any live insects — species affects the treatment (German vs Oriental)
