Providing award winning commercial and residential pest control services in Kent since 1995
Cleankill is an acknowledged leader in the provision of professional pest control services to commercial and residential customers in Kent. From our head office in Croydon, South London, and Sussex offices in Seaford and Hove we provide a comprehensive range of pest control services covering the whole of Kent. Our qualified team of pest control surveyors and technicians are highly experienced in dealing with all forms of pest, including rats, mice, bed bugs, pigeons, gulls, cockroaches, wasps and ants.
We specialise in effective and environmentally responsible pest control services and have numerous awards for our customer service, commitment to the community and environment, staff development and responsible business practices. In 2019, we were named ‘Company of the Year’ at the biennial British Pest Management Awards, organised by the British Pest Control Association.
We are an active member of Kent’s business community, supporting a number of local businesses, including restaurants, factories, retail centres, and hotels. In addition, we participate in several local business expos, such as Business Vision Live at the Kent Event Centre.
Approach to pest control in Kent
We focus on a three-stage approach to pest problems:
- ‘Exclusion’ - find out how pests are entering a property and block access point
- ‘Restriction’ - make an environment less attractive to pests
- ‘Destruction’ - use chemical and physical methods to remove pests (if necessary)
Where possible, we use traditional pest control methods because they are:
- Safer for humans
- Safer for other animals
- Reduce the need for chemicals to be used.
While we endeavour to be as ‘green’ as possible our primary focus is the removal of pests you’re your premises. We will use pesticides when they are necessary but as a last resort. We find safer and more sustainable methods are just as effective – for example, using non-toxic silica dust to treat for cockroaches.
Accreditations
We have all the accreditations our Kent customers would expect. To see a list, click here. These normally involve a rigorous, third-party inspection process, so you can be assured the service you are buying is run professionally and to the highest industry standards.
We are a proud member of the British Pest Control Association (BPCA) and all our technicians are certified and adhere to the BPCA Codes of Best Practice.
Innovation
There is no one-size fits all approach to pest control. Every pest problem has its own unique conditions and we think laterally about each job to ensure only the best possible solution is used.
Kent has a wide variety of different environments, from city centres to isolated farmhouses. We have the knowledge, experience and expertise to tackle pest problems in all these environments. A good example would be our Harris Hawks. These are regularly flown at a hotel and cinema complex in Kent, to keep it free from bird pests.. Our Harris Hawks are highly effective but other hidden methods include Bird-Free Gel, netting and special spikes to prevent pest birds landing, roosting and nesting on buildings.
Pest control for your Kent home
Whether you live in a townhouse in Canterbury or a farmhouse in the Kent countryside, we have the expertise to keep your home free from pests whether it’s wasps and ants in the summer or rats and mice in the winter.
If you suspect you have a problem with rats, mice, cockroaches, ants, bed bugs, wasps, moths, or a variety of other pests, make sure you call in a professional as quickly as possible. If you leave it, they can gain a foothold in your property – making the job more challenging and costly.
Pest control for your Kent business
It is wrong to think only restaurants and hotels need preventative pest control. All businesses are required by law to keep their properties pest free or face fines. Remember, even if you are only serving food to your employees you will receive a hygiene rating from the Environmental Health Officer and, if you fail to perform at the required level, you could be shut down.
Every year, hundreds of business are fined or closed down because they haven’t organised a pest prevention contract. Without this simple investment in the future, your business is liable to unwanted financial penalties and there may be damage to your reputation.
A standard preventative pest control contract normally involves eight inspections a year, plus a full report, and gives you peace of mind that your premises is being looked after by professionals.
FAQ
How much does your service cost?
Every job is different. If it is a one-off job – for example, removing of a wasps’ nest – we quote for the whole job. Ordinarily, to ensure you get the right service, one of our Kent-based surveyors will visit you to see the problem first-hand, before discussing the options that are available to you. You will then receive a quote detailing what the costs will be and how you can pay.
How quickly can you visit my premises?
It depends on the severity of the problem. A member of the team will talk to you to discuss the options and how quickly we need to come out
Which parts of Kent do you work in?
We cover the whole of Kent – from Margate to Royal Tunbridge Wells, and Rochester to Folkestone.
I’ve already tried one company and they didn’t solve my pest problem and I don’t want to waste more money
We operate one of the most highly trained teams in the UK. When other companies fail, we are often called in to solve the problem. Our breadth of experience means there are very few problems we haven’t already dealt with and, if we are facing a new problem - for example, a rare insect - we have direct access to the UK’s leading experts.
I don’t want my neighbours to know I have a pest problem
