Eradikil job

Eradikil were called to come to our hotel to eliminate wasps nests that were causing a nuisance to our guests. Eradikil came out within the hour and gave us a quote half that of rentokil. They then carried out the work promptly within a day eliminating all active nests allowing our business to function to full capacity. They were very professional and carried out the work without disturbing our guests. Thank you Eradikil we will be using you again.

Discovering the whereabouts of unwanted mice.

Discussed on the phone what the work would entail..Arrived on schedule, searched not only the cupboard where we knew there had been mice but also main loft and side loft. Set traps, returned a week later to check on traps and reset as needed. Returned two weeks to recheck traps and as nothing new found this visit completed the work. Extremely professional and tidy, would happily use again if needed.

Discovery of electric cable chewed by mice

We had an electric cable in the outhouse at the side of our house which had been chewed by mice. David provided an excellent service promptly and efficiently dealing with the issue. He provided 2 follow up visits to ensure the problem had been resolved.

Solar panel pigeon proofing

Very organised, quick professional job, clean and tidy, happy with the work.

Pigeon Proofing our Solar Panels

Shane quoted the day we contacted him, talked us through what he would do thoroughly. He came exactly when he said he would to do the job and they were so good, really nice chaps, great work and cleaned up after themselves, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them

Solar panel protection

We had 16 solar panels that needed protection from pigeons. Shane turned up on time and did a very professional, tidy, and courteous job. Would highly recommend.

Late night mouse removal

Shane was my second person I called at 10.30pm, he lived local and arrived extremely fast. Extremely friendly, calm and talked through the removal. He checked the house for any further signs and advised what to buy to fill gaps. This guy is an absolute legend. Number saved just in case. Highly recommended

Wasp nest.

Shane was prompt to respond to my job and prompt to help. He had a long ladder which enabled him to reach the nest in the roof. He explained everything thoroughly and was very polite. The next morning there are no wasps. Thank you

Flea extermination

Shane did a great job with our flea extermination. He was extremely punctual and efficient with the job. He provided me with reassurance about the non-toxic chemicals he used that would not harm our baby or dog and put my mind at rest regarding the whole process. He even left me with a handy leaflet describing the job he’d just completed and the flea life cycle to help answer any further questions. Would highly recommend!

Frequently Asked Questions

What are cluster flies and why are they in my home?

Cluster flies are a type of fly that enter buildings to hibernate during the colder months. They are attracted to warm, sheltered properties and often gather in large numbers in lofts, wall voids, and unused rooms, especially in autumn and winter.

How do I know if I have a cluster fly infestation?

Signs include large numbers of slow-moving flies appearing indoors, particularly near windows, light fittings, or loft spaces. They are often most noticeable when temperatures rise, causing them to emerge from hiding places.

Are cluster flies harmful?

Cluster flies do not bite and are not known to spread disease. However, they can be a nuisance, stain walls and fabrics with droppings, and cause unpleasant odours if they die in large numbers inside wall cavities or lofts.

Can cluster flies be removed permanently?

Cluster flies can be effectively controlled with professional treatment, particularly when access points and resting areas are treated. Sealing entry points and preventative treatments help reduce the likelihood of them returning in future seasons.

Why do cluster flies keep coming back every year?

Cluster flies often return to the same buildings annually because they are drawn to warmth and shelter. Without preventative treatment and proofing, properties can experience repeat infestations each autumn.
