Why commercial pest control is different

agsdi-hospital

Health & Safety

Commercial environments demand a higher standard of health and safety measures compared to domestic settings, primarily due to the larger number of people involved and the potential for greater exposure to hazards. Merlin Environmental understands that businesses, especially those in sectors like food service or healthcare, cannot afford the risk of a pest-related health incident. Our commercial pest control strategies are designed not just to address infestations effectively but to do so in a way that prioritises the health and safety of your employees and customers, ensuring a safe, pest-free environment that complies with government regulations.

Reputation

In the digital age, a single pest sighting can rapidly escalate into a reputational crisis, spreading across social media and review sites and causing lasting damage to a brand. Commercial pest control goes beyond the immediate task of removing pests, focusing also on safeguarding your business’s reputation. Merlin Environmental’s discreet and effective pest control solutions help maintain the integrity of your brand, ensuring that pests never become a public relations issue.

Damage Prevention

The potential for pests to cause significant damage is greatly amplified in commercial settings, where the financial stakes are high. Unlike domestic pest control, where the focus is mostly on eradication, commercial pest control requires a proactive approach to prevent damage to stock, infrastructure, and equipment. Merlin Environmental specialises in early identification and mitigation of these pest threats through pro-active monitoring, protecting your assets from the costly consequences of pest infestation, and ensuring business operations continue smoothly without interruption during pest screenings and removals.

Legal Compliance

Navigating the complex web of regulations and compliance standards related to pest control can be particularly challenging for businesses. Failure to comply not only risks penalties but can also shut down operations. Commercial pest control services, like those provided by Merlin Environmental, are essential for ensuring that your business remains in full compliance with all relevant laws and industry standards. We stay abreast of the latest legal requirements to provide peace of mind and protect your business from legal liabilities related to pest management.

Our accreditations

We hold ourselves to a very high standard and we have the accreditations to prove it. We pride ourselves on offering an unrivalled experience in control as well as better quality service, response, and reliability than other pest control companies.

Innovators in insects and bird control

Commercial Insect Control

Merlin Environmental leads the UK pest control industry with innovative, non-chemical solutions in insect pest control. Our expertise encompasses heat treatment solutions such as spot and whole room heat treatments that are effective against a wide range of insect pests. Not only is heat treatment fast and non-toxic, but unlike chemicals, whole room heat treatment is 100% effective in eliminating insects in all stages of their lifecycle (including eggs).

Merlin Environmental has a dedicated sniffer dog team which caters specifically to bed bugs. This team is well accustomed to serving businesses most at risk from bed bug infestations, with bed bug detection and elimination services. Our work spans:

  • Hospitality venues, including restaurants, hostels and hotels.
  • Transportation services, including planes, trains, buses, and ships.
  • Care homes, providing a safe and hygienic environment for the elderly.
  • Warehouses and factories, eliminating and preventing pests and protecting stock.

Commercial bird control

Commercial Bird Control

There are many types of businesses that benefit from bird pest control. Pest birds tend to affect businesses that operate in wide-open spaces, such as:

  • Agriculture & farming
  • Waste disposal sites
  • Airports
  • Train stations
  • Shopping centres
  • Warehouses and factories

The UK’s most notorious pest birds are gulls and pigeons. Some pest bird problems are of a permanent nature, while others are seasonal. All bird problems can be dealt with effectively by Merlin through a strategic combination of tactics, which may include hawking, fire gels, spikes, acoustics, or lasers. Our expert team will design and deliver the most effective and cost-efficient bird removal strategy tailored for your unique bird problem. Get in touch for a free, no-obligation quote.

Frequently asked questions

When can you get here?

At Merlin, we completely understand the need for a swift response to pest control issues. We will always speak to you and find the best time for us to attend. If it's an emergency, we would expect to be there the next working day, or if we have the operatives near your business, we would attend the same day if you could accommodate this. We will always work alongside you to provide the best timings for our visits.

How much does the treatment cost?

This is dependent on the type of work and the severity of the problem. It is very difficult to give pre-pricing, even as a general guide, as the true extent of the issue will only be evident once surveyed and looked at. This is why, as a business, we do not charge for our surveys. The survey stage is also an opportunity to get to know you and your site and explore the problem. Pest control is a bespoke service; one size doesn't fit all. Each pest control offering is different, and is tailored to the site in question.

What do I have to do?

In most cases, before we attend, nothing. It’s only when we have attended the site for the in-depth, free-of-charge survey that we can recommend any points that you may need to do. This can take various forms, from a simple quick clear of clutter to removing shrubs and bushes that are providing harbourage and shelter for pests. But again, no two sites are the same, and understanding the site and its requirements is key to a successful pest control process.

How long will it take to resolve the issue?

It depends on the particular situation. We can confirm this after we have carried out a free, no-obligation site evaluation.

Are there any guarantees?

Yes. We provide either a one, or three-month guarantee depending on the treatment method used. We also guarantee that all work will be carried out by a BPCA certified pest control technician.
