We deal with all types of pests, including cockroaches, ants, wasps, rats, mice, moles, pigeons, woodworm, bed bugs and more, so you know you have come to the right place. Pestguard has the specialist equipment, materials and skills to deal with all types of pests in both domestic and commercial environments.

Common problems we deal with

  • Rats and mice

  • All crawling insects
  • Fleas

Insect ID

We also offer an insect ID service for those unusual creepy crawlies. Not sure what you’ve found? Give us a ring.

Woodworm treatment

Not every home that has holes in its timbers has live woodworm. Fresh piles of fine, sawdust-like frass below the holes mean the infestation is still active, and the right treatment depends on which beetle is doing the damage.

Before you reach for a spray

Members of the public are advised not to try dealing with pest problems themselves, especially wasp nests, as shop-bought treatments are not only ineffective, but are increasingly causing problems for birds and other wildlife. With many councils no longer providing pest control services for free, home and business owners are increasingly turning to DIY methods to try to eliminate problems.

It is not always about chucking poisons down every time. New laws and strict guidelines are now in force that all pest controllers have to follow, and most problems we come across are treatable with simple control methods that customers can follow very easily, like simply placing rubbish in bins with a secure lid in place.

Moles, rabbits, squirrels and mink

You may not know this, but Brian specialises in mole control and has been catching moles for the past 40 years throughout the North East of England.

Alongside moles we deal with rabbits and squirrels, and we specialise in mink. Call us for a free telephone quote.

A pest free survey for landlords and letting agents

At Pestguard we get lots of calls from tenants and landlords asking who is responsible for getting rid of insects and rodents, and who is responsible for paying. If the pests were in the property before the tenant moved in, the landlord has to deal with them; if they appear afterwards, it’s the tenant. The catch is proving which.

Pestguard

Pest free survey inspection

Pestguard offer a pest free survey inspection to all landlords, estate agents and letting agents in the North East of England, for all empty property, to find out if it is pest free from insects and rodents before a tenant moves in.

  • The property is inspected from top to bottom
  • All findings and recommendations are clearly marked
  • You receive a certificate of evidence for the property

All properties are different, and as such they incur different costings for this service. Please call for a survey of your property today.

“We had a bee problem at home over the weekend and honestly couldn’t have asked for better service from Brian at Pest Guard. I called him on a Sunday expecting I’d probably have to wait until the next day, but he came out within just a few hours and arrived exactly when he said he would.

From the moment he arrived, he was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly reassuring. He dealt with the problem quickly and properly, explained everything clearly, and even cleaned everything up afterwards. It’s rare these days to find someone who genuinely cares about doing a great job, but Brian absolutely does.

On top of that, he’s such a lovely guy — really friendly, approachable, and easy to talk to. You can tell he genuinely cares about his customers and takes pride in his work.

I honestly couldn’t recommend Brian and Pest Guard enough. If you ever need pest control services, don’t hesitate to call him. Outstanding service from start to finish.”
