Running a business in Great Dunmow means dealing with an older town centre, newer estates and farmland on every side, and pests tend to follow all three. We provide commercial pest control for pubs, cafes, shops, offices, farms and storage units, with planned visits and a clear record of what we found and did.
Some customers call us after seeing droppings or a sudden rise in flies. Others simply want a routine in place before an audit or a landlord asks questions. Either way, we keep the service discreet, so your staff and customers carry on as normal while we work.

Great Dunmow sits in open Uttlesford countryside, so rats and mice are never far from the edge of town. Grain, feed and rubbish at the boundary of a yard can draw them in, and from there they follow pipes, drains and gaps under doors into premises. A shop, workshop or food unit near the edge of town can feel that pressure first, especially after harvest when fields are cleared.
We look at the whole site rather than just the room where the sighting happened. That means walking the yard, bin areas, loading doors, drains and storage, then explaining where the weak points are. You get plain advice on bin lids, stock kept off the floor and sealing gaps, which does as much good as any trap we set. Staff often spot the first signs, so we are happy to show them what to look for.
Food safety inspectors and the larger customers you supply often expect to see evidence of pest control, not just a promise. After each visit we leave you a written note of what was checked, what was found and what was done, so there is a paper trail to show when someone asks. We do not claim any certificate on your behalf, we simply record the work.
How often we call depends on the premises. A busy pub kitchen in Great Dunmow may suit frequent checks, while a quiet office might only need a few visits across the year. We agree a sensible pattern with you, and if something turns up between visits you can ring us and we will come out to look. Nothing is booked in that you do not need.
We work across Great Dunmow and the CM6 postcode area, and we also cover Braintree, Saffron Walden and Chelmsford, so a business with more than one site can keep a single point of contact.

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 →Usually we can arrange a time that suits you, whether that is before you open, after closing or during a quiet spell. We will talk it through when you call, so the work does not disturb customers or get in the way of food preparation.
Yes. We leave a note of what we inspected, any activity found, the action taken and anything you should change, such as repairing a door gap or moving stock. Keep it in your files so it is ready for an inspector or landlord.
Often it is, because rodents live close by and move in when food or warmth is available. Regular checks catch early signs before they become a bigger problem, and we can advise on storage, waste and proofing to keep them out.
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.
