Residential Buildings

Pests found in domestic settings can spread diseases to homeowners, tenants and holiday makers. They can proliferate rapidly, posing a major health hazard to occupants. In the case of residential complexes or apartment blocks, the infestation can quickly affect large numbers of residents, as pests travel from one dwelling to another.

Usual issues

Kitchen pests

Rats, mice, cockroaches and ants are some of the key pests likely to raid food storage and preparation areas in domestic kitchens. As well as consuming and contaminating food, these pests create unhygienic living conditions. Rodents, for example, spread filth and disease via their droppings, feet, hair, urine, saliva and blood, a major concern for homeowners and property managers.

Bedroom pests

Bed bugs are not just confined to hotels and other temporary accommodation, they also infest homes. These small insects typically invade beds and bedding and can be very distressing for occupants. Their control is particularly challenging as they are adept at sheltering deep inside cracks and crevices and therefore hard to spot.

Wood boring pests

The very fabric of buildings provide food for wood destroying insects, including the highly destructive termite. These pests have a very sophisticated organisation, based on a strict division of labour. They are capable of inflicting serious damage on timber, affecting the integrity of the building. Damage may have gone undetected for years as termites operate very discreetly.

Quality service for guests

These days, residential buildings are just as likely to host tourists and travellers as they are to provide a family home, especially when they are located in popular destinations. However, if you’re a host offering these services (like Airbnb), when it comes to pest control, it’s highly likely that you aren’t as well equipped as more traditional providers of accommodation.

After all, there’s only so much a single person can do, whereas hotels have a range of policies and procedures in place to keep premises pest-free. And unless you’re an expert, it could be fatally easy for you to miss the beginnings of a bed bug infestation or to apply the wrong treatment.

The reputation of your business is largely shaped by online reviews and a pest-related complaint is unlikely to go unreported. Expert advice from pest controllers, combined with tried and tested BASF insecticides and rodenticides, help protect your property and your business from pest damage.
