Barking & Dagenham Insect Control

While bees will only sting when provoked, stumbling upon a hive in a garden or attic space can often lead to unwanted encounters and potentially aggravated swarms.

Our locally based technicians are specially trained to remove nests intact, without intensive use of pesticides, causing minimal disruption in a household environment.

Although similar to bees in many respects, wasps are considerably more aggressive and capable of delivering multiple stings, increasing the chance of provoking allergic reactions and anaphylactic shock.

London Insect Control has seen pretty much every example of wasp infestation, and we are adept at removing hives from even the most inaccessible areas, using chemicals that only our technicians are qualified to use in high concentrations to rapidly get rid of the threat.

Hornets are the largest and most venomous of all its related species, and their stings can provoke reactions in those who otherwise have no serious reaction to bee-stings.

It is highly inadvisable to attempt to remove a hornet nest without professional help, since failing to swiftly and completely destroy the hive will cause the hornets to enter a highly aggressive swarm state.

Our operators in Barking and Dagenham Hornet Control have all the expertise and protective gear necessary to deal with hornets promptly and with the utmost regard for safety.

Cluster Flies pose little real menace or nuisance, yet they will very often hibernate inside of human habitations at the onset of Winter, and thus can often prove disruptive in the weeks leading up to Christmas.

Fortunately, London Insect Control is very used to the pre-Christmas rush of cluster-fly exterminations, and our technicians are able to remove them with minimal difficulty, allowing you to continue your holiday plans without interruption.

Bed bugs are immensely prevalent and capable of causing considerable skin irritation and discomfort if left unchecked. Despite being relatively harmless, they are one of the most difficult insects that Barking and Dagenham Insect Control has to deal with, since they are so naturally resilient, able to survive traditional insecticides and continue breeding.

Our technicians use a complex three-part programme of knock-down sprays, insect growth regulators and Diatomaceous Earth and work in tandem with our customers to ensure that, once the bed bugs are gone, they cannot come back.

Like Bed bugs, fleas can prove incredibly difficult to weed out, since their eggs can remain and hatch even after they have been destroyed. Although normally simple cleaning and laundering will work, some infestations are too deeply rooted to be removed without professional help.

Given that fleas are able to carry a wide variety of diseases, it is often better to depend upon our Flea Control technicians than home remedies, as our technicians will identify the source of the infestation and inform you how to prevent its recurrence.

Living in crevices and coming out only at night, Silverfish can be hard to detect and even harder to get rid of. They will eat through books, clothes, loft insulation and even drywall, damaging valuables and breeding rapidly.

Since the presence of Silverfish often indicates a problem with damp or plumbing, our technicians at Barking and Dagenham Silverfish Control are trained not only to get rid of the insects themselves, but also to point out underlying problems that have led to the infestation as part of a holistic service.

A cockroach infestation can be very damaging to a household and its occupants, as the insects carry with them a number of diseases, contaminate the human food and detritus they live on, and can provoke allergic reactions with their eggs and droppings.

Our Barking and Dagenham Cockroach Control team don’t use standard baiting and trapping methods, which only deal with a few of the insects over time, but instead we target the hiding places of the cockroaches themselves with highly-localised, concentrated chemicals, and we give detailed cockroach-prevention advice to the customer to stop any further infestations.

Britain is home to numerous species of spider, almost all of them harmless. However, given recent scares prompted by the growing population of poisonous False-Widow spiders, Barking and Dagenham Spider Control are aware that many people are increasingly anxious to make sure that their house isn’t home to any dangerous species.

Our technicians will help you identify the nature and extent of the spider infestation, as well as any potential threats, without any charge, and should you feel at risk or should you simply want to clear your house of a nuisance then it is very straightforward for us to remove the infestation.

While Common or Garden ants pose little problem and live exclusively outside, common species such as Ghost ants and Feral ants typically prefer to build their hives inside human residences, favouring their warmth and the ready supply of nutrients in the form of leftovers and grease. These ants can build their nests in inaccessible places behind walls or underneath floorboards, and thus it is very difficult to find the source of an infestation and deal with it.

Our technicians are familiar with the behaviours of multiple varieties of ants and are able to track down and systematically remove the source of an infestation, and are able to remove hives no matter how well-hidden and unreachable they may otherwise be.
