Pest Control Surveys

At Sparta Pest Control, we provide pest control surveys to help identify any potential pest problems, both for our residential and commercial customers in North London – specifically Haringey, Enfield, Palmers Green and Winchmore Hill

Why Is a Pest Control Survey Important?

You may wonder why undertake a pest control survey, why not just start a pest control treatment course immediately? Sometimes, you might not be sure if you do in fact have a pest problem and a survey is always a good starting point for all potential treatments as well. A pest control survey can also be effectively used as a preventative measure to identify any vulnerabilities for your property and new business site.

We also get requests from customers to do assessments before any pest issues arise as part of home buyers surveys and commercial pest control surveys. This way any obvious concerns can be identified and dealt with so no pest issue arises unexpectedly. Pest prevention really does work.

By undertaking a survey, we may establish if pests are present in your home or premises, as well as determine their type. This means we are able to decide the best treatment plan, as before your unwanted guest can be effectively treated, they must first be located and understood. Every treatment plan is personal to your pest problem and you are an important part of the process.

The steps involved when undertaking a survey

Commercial Pest Control Surveys

For businesses, ongoing surveys are essential due to the persistent nature of pest problems in certain industries and to promote confidence with your business in the food and hospitality industry. Equally important in other services such as care homes, nurseries and daycare centres.

Similar as with our residential customer, a survey for our commercial customer is the start of the process and is done to:

Establish potential or current pest activity levels
Identify the risk rating of the site, which impacts the number of inspections and treatments recommended
Enable an inspection or treatment plan to be devised where Environmental Health Officers (EHO) are satisfied there is a robust pest intervention plan in place.

Why Is a Pest Control Survey Important?

When buying and selling a home your emotions run high and the journey is often a roller coaster of feelings. You are faced with many challenges along the way and we do not want a pest problem to be one of your challenges. At Sparta we offer surveys before buying or selling a house to make the process a bit less stressful for you. In the UK, when selling a house, you are legally required to disclose any environmental issues related to your property, this includes rats or other vermin. For more details see propertysaviour.co.uk.

We recently attended a home after a house buyer survey, as part of the selling process, identified signs of possible rodent activity. We were able to go and assess the property promptly and thoroughly inspected the property and honestly concluded that there was no sign at all of rodent activity. We undertook preventative work and blocked up the air vents effectively and put an inspection plan in place as requested by our customer.

This assisted with the home selling process progressing without unnecessary delay, but also gave the seller and buyer of the property confidence that there was no pest issue.
