Harlow is a town of separate neighbourhoods, shopping areas and industrial estates, with a high share of rented homes, and that mix gives commercial pest control plenty to do. We look after warehouses, units, takeaways, shops, offices and the managing agents and landlords who answer for blocks and lettings.
Our approach is simple: find out what is going on, deal with it, and leave you a written record. You will know what we found, what we did and what to change, and we keep visits low-key so your staff and tenants are not alarmed.

Industrial estates bring their own problems. Pallets stacked against walls, roller doors that never quite seal, skips left open and food waste from a neighbouring unit all give rats and mice somewhere to hide and feed. In Harlow, where units often sit close together, an infestation next door can reach you within weeks, and a quiet corner of a warehouse is all a nest needs.
We start with a walk round the building and the surrounding yard, checking doors, drains, bin stores and the gaps where cables and pipes enter. Then we set up monitoring points and use baiting only where it is safe. If stock or packaging is involved, we explain how to store it off the floor and away from walls so the pests lose their cover.
Where Harlow properties are let, pests are often a question of who is responsible and who can show what was done. We work with landlords and managing agents on shared areas, bin stores, empty properties between tenants and blocks with a recurring problem, and we keep notes showing dates, findings and the work carried out, which saves arguments later. Shared stairwells and communal bins are the usual trouble spots.
If a tenant reports droppings or scratching in a ceiling, we can attend and explain whether it is mice, rats or something else, and what needs to change in the building to stop it coming back. That gives you something clear to tell the tenant, rather than a guess, and avoids repeat visits for the same cause. We can pass the findings straight to your maintenance team.
We cover Harlow and the CM17 to CM20 postcode areas, and we also work in Epping, Loughton and Great Dunmow, which helps if your business or property portfolio is spread across several sites. Give us a call with a few details about the premises and what you have seen, and we will talk through a sensible plan to get things under control.

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.

Large buildings with loading doors, stored goods and quiet corners suit pests perfectly, so this guide explains how to spot trouble early and keep your site protected.

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. We inspect the unit, check for signs of rodents, insects and entry points, and treat anything we find. We note the condition in writing, which helps both landlord and incoming tenant know where they stand before the lease begins.
That depends on the tenancy and the cause, so we cannot decide it for you. What we can do is identify the pest, explain how it got in and write up what was done, so you have clear facts to settle it.
Regular visits are usually wiser for any food business, because they find early signs and let us proof gaps before they become a sighting. We agree a pattern that matches how busy you are and call out between visits if needed.
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.
