Braintree mixes a working town centre with retail areas, industrial estates and farmland on every side, so the pests our commercial customers meet here vary a good deal. We look after shops, food outlets, warehouses and rented premises with scheduled visits, prompt call-outs and notes you can rely on when someone asks what has been done.
Whether you manage a single café or a row of units, we begin by learning how your site works: where deliveries arrive, where waste is kept and who is on site. From that we build a plan that is sensible for the building and does not interrupt trading more than it has to.

With open fields close to many parts of Braintree, rodents regularly travel between agricultural land and the buildings on its edge. Warehouses and units with loading doors, pallet storage and skips can look very welcoming to a rat or mouse looking for shelter and food through the colder months, particularly when doors are left open during deliveries or stock is stored directly against outside walls and fences.
We start with the outside of a site, checking boundaries, bin areas, drains and the base of walls, and then move indoors to storage and food areas. From there we agree where to place bait points and traps, which are checked on every visit, and we advise on practical changes such as door brushes, tidy pallet stacking and keeping waste away from walls.
Braintree's retail areas bring their own challenges, from insects in stock rooms to rodents drawn to food waste in shared bin stores. Braintree businesses depend on repeat custom and a good name locally. A single sighting by a customer can damage trust quickly, so we aim to deal with signs early, quietly and without drawing attention to the work, whether that means a few traps in a store room or a wider look at the building.
Shops and restaurants also face inspections, and being able to show a history is valuable. Our written notes after every visit record what we looked at, what we found and what we did. We make no claim of certification on this page; the point is simple, honest paperwork that shows pests are being taken seriously and checked on regularly, which is exactly what an inspector wants to see when they ask.
Not every problem waits for the next routine visit, so if you find something in Braintree that worries you, get in touch and we will arrange to come out. We cover CM7 and also work in Witham, Great Dunmow and Chelmsford, which means a technician is rarely far away when a business needs a second look at a site.

A food business cannot afford to share its kitchen with pests, so this guide covers the warning signs, everyday habits and the point at which to call us.

Most household pests leave clues behind, and learning to read droppings, damage, noises and timing will help you decide what you are dealing with and what to do next.
Read the guide →Yes. Warehouses and industrial units are a regular part of our commercial work. We look at loading areas, pallet storage, waste skips and boundaries, and agree a routine of visits that fits the size of the site and how much goods movement it sees.
That depends on your lease, so check it first. We work with tenants, landlords and managing agents, and we can provide written notes of what was found and done, which helps everyone see who has responsibility for which part of the building.
Keep food and stock covered, avoid touching droppings without gloves and tell us as soon as you can. Do not block any gaps yourself before we have looked, as it helps us to work out where it is getting in.
Tell us what you have found and roughly where it is. We will come back to you — or call 01245 327 274 if it is urgent.
