Facilities Management Pest Control

The broad range of services provided by facility management companies today, means that they can struggle to provide sufficient levels of efficiency, expertise and innovation in every area. The growing demand for integrated facility management in mature markets, however, is driving the need to offer more services at reduced costs.

Outsourcing by FM companies to specialist providers with a history of innovation and high levels of service can be the best option to deliver a more efficient and effective service to customers.

A specialist provider can keep up to date with legislation in areas including environment, food safety, health, hygiene, pesticides and biocides, cleaning product ingredients, and provide the appropriate documentation and evidence required for auditing and standards compliance. We have extensive expertise and can provide services both locally and nationwide, with over 600 highly trained technicians throughout the UK. Our experts work in partnership with you to minimise the threat of pest infestations by both preventative and reesponsive strategies through our unique integrated pest management services.

Customer site appraisal
