Loughton is a busy town on the edge of Epping Forest, with a lively high road and a large number of family homes close by. Businesses here share walls, back alleys and bin areas, so a pest problem rarely stays with one door. We provide commercial pest control for shops, cafes, restaurants, offices and letting agents.
We keep our service quiet and orderly. Visits are planned around your day, we record what we find, and we tell you plainly what needs fixing in the building. If staff have seen droppings or an insect problem, a call is enough to get things moving.

In Loughton, high road premises often back onto shared service lanes, where bins from several cafes, takeaways and shops sit side by side. That is a ready supply of food for rats and foxes, and when a bin overflows or a lid is left open the pests soon move closer. A kitchen door propped open on a warm evening makes it worse. Foxes tearing open bags only add to the mess.
We check the rear of the premises first: bin stores, drains, door thresholds, extractor outlets and any holes where pipes pass through walls. Then we look indoors at storage and prep areas. You get clear, practical advice, such as who should be talking to the landlord about a broken drain cover, along with the traps or baiting we place. We then agree who needs to act.
With woodland close by, Loughton has plenty of wildlife, and rodents come and go between the trees, gardens and buildings at the edge. Squirrels and mice can find their way into roof spaces and storerooms, particularly in the autumn when the weather turns cooler and food outside becomes harder to find. Wet weather pushes more of them towards buildings. Fallen leaves can hide gaps.
For a business, that means checking roofs, eaves, loading doors and anything stored outside, not only the kitchen. Offices and shops that sit empty overnight are especially likely to have quiet corners where a nest goes unnoticed. We inspect those areas properly, tell you what is likely to be causing the activity, and agree a visit pattern that suits how you trade.
Each visit to a Loughton business ends with a written note covering what we checked, what we found and what we did, which is useful when an inspector or a landlord asks for evidence. We cover the IG10 postcode area and also work in Epping, Harlow and Brentwood, so a business with more than one branch can use one provider.

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 →We can inspect your premises, deal with any pest activity and leave you a written record of the visit. We cannot promise any inspection result, but a clear record and well-proofed building put you in a stronger position.
That usually depends on your lease and who manages the shared space. We can inspect the area, advise on what is attracting the rats and give you a written note you can pass to the landlord or neighbouring tenants.
It can, since rodents and squirrels live nearby and may explore roof spaces and storerooms. Gaps around eaves, vents and doors are the usual way in, so proofing and regular checks tend to make a real difference. We can talk you through where to look first.
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.
