“Joe, and the whole PGM team, are excellent and highly responsive. We use them at work, a mixed rambling establishment of houses, offices, sheds, a guesthouse and a monastery: they always come quickly when called out, identify the problem, deal with it and come back to check a few days later.
They also provide a regular check which more than satisfies the local council's requirements.”

The importance of proactive commercial pest control
Pest infestation can occur in any location regardless if it is a commercial or industrial business.
Pest infestation is one of the major problems encountered any industry, be it food, hospitality, schools, retail, corporate offices, warehousing and more.
When there are pests close by, the daily business operations will be affected, causing loss of revenue, drop in the number of customers, and possibly penalties or fines.
In order to avoid any unnecessary business losses, you need to invest in commercial pest control.
One of the most important reasons why businesses prefer to use commercial pest management services is the need to maintain a completely clean, compliant, and healthy business environment.
For example, in a restaurant, it would be very difficult and unsafe to do any kind of business activities where cockroaches or rats are running around.
Similarly, it would be extremely dangerous and harmful if you operate a childcare facility and have pests that can harm children through bites or contamination through waste matter.
If you happen to spot any rats, cockroaches, cluster flies or any other pests within the premises of your business establishment it is advisable to remove the unwanted pests as soon as possible.

Frequently asked questions about commercial pest control
What does commercial pest control include?
Commercial pest control includes inspection, monitoring, treatment, and prevention of pest infestations in business premises. Services typically cover rodent control, insect management, preventative treatments, compliance documentation, pest audits, and contaminated waste removal. A structured maintenance programme ensures ongoing protection and regulatory compliance.
How often should a business have pest control visits?
Most commercial premises require pest control visits every 4–12 weeks, depending on the industry, risk level, and audit requirements. Higher-risk environments such as food production, hospitality, and warehouses may need more frequent inspections to maintain hygiene standards and compliance.
Is commercial pest control required for food safety compliance?
Yes. Businesses operating in food production, hospitality, and food retail are expected to have a documented pest management programme in place. Regular inspections, monitoring, and reporting help meet food safety standards, audit requirements, and environmental health regulations.
What happens during a commercial pest control inspection?
During a commercial pest control inspection, a licensed technician assesses your premises for signs of pest activity, entry points, harbourage areas, and hygiene risks. Findings are documented, preventative measures are implemented where required, and a service report is provided for compliance records.
How quickly can you respond to a pest problem?
Rapid response is essential for businesses experiencing a pest issue. Emergency call-outs can be arranged to address urgent infestations, minimise disruption, and reduce health or reputational risks. Ongoing maintenance clients typically receive priority response support.
