Dave Allen and his crew are excellent. They did everything they promised to help me with my rat infestation. They kept me constantly updated as to progress and their punctuality was impeccable. Apologies Dave I was not at home I elsewhere trying to get our petrol cutter fixed. However my wife and friend Steve were most impressed by your professionalism the level of advice you offered and that you did not charge any consultancy or call fee. I recommend Essex Pest Proof Ltd and if I have further problems will definitely call them again. Plus they have a great sense of humour check out the viking photos. More...

Rodent Pest Control
Covering all types of rodents, including marauding mice, rampaging rats, and ghastly grey squirrels. These pests prove no match for our valiant Viking hero’s. Once any unwanted invader has been successfully sent to Valhalla, we will ensure they will never darken your door again, by identifying and removing the ability to gain entry to your home, or castle!
Insect Control
No bug is too small to evade detection by our legendary Norse warriors. We can cleanse your home from all insects including, wasps, fleas, bedbugs, ants, cockroaches, moths, flies. After a site survey has been undertaken, we can advise the best course of action required to regain your home from these pesky invaders.
Bird Control
If you’re suffering with pillaging pigeons, hail one of our specialist Solar panel protectors of the realm. Birds nesting under or around the panels can damage cables, deposit fouling onto panels, block gutters with nesting material and present a health hazard. We can install solar panel protection and install gutter spikes thus encouraging these feathered foes to find another home.
Pest Prevention
Prevention is always better than cure, so that’s why Essex Pest Proof provide a full pest proofing service. Many of our customers have had issues with mice and rats for years, but a survey of your property or business premises will highlight where rodents are gaining access. Our effective pest control solutions will ensure rodents are stopped for good.
Pest proofing is the most important part of any pest control treatment. We want to eliminate the immediate problem and prevent it from occurring in the future. Air vent covers can be installed, bristle strips fitted on external doors, bird proofing pigeon spikes or gel repellents can be installed on gutters.
Drain Surveys
Over 90% of Rat problems within properties in the UK, are because of faulty and defective drainage systems. So if you are hearing noises in your walls, ceilings and under your floor we can help.
How Rats Enter Your Home - Rats will find their way out of faulty drain systems which are normally adjacent to your properties foundations and cavity walls. Once rats have found a point of ingress they will exploit it and gain access into your cavity or under the foundations. They can then move around your property using the cavity walls and voids finding their way into loft areas. If you have had building work extending over existing drainage systems or if drainage systems have been modified, this could also allow rats into your property.
Drain Rat Investigation Surveys - Using the latest drain camera survey equipment, we will undertake an extensive drain camera inspection to identify faults and defects which could allow rats out of the sewers and into your home. We have developed techniques which allow us to access every part of your system including redundant branch lines and connections.
Drain Solutions
Our detailed drain inspection survey report will include a solution to solve your drain rat infestation problem. Once you have this information you can approach contractors for like for like quotations, it is however vital that you get the correct survey information. Solutions include drain liners to seal defective or redundant drains and valves to stop rats entering your drainage system. At Essex Pest Proof we have the knowledge, investigation techniques and solutions to solve your rat infestation problems.

Any business owner that has had a pest issue knows the damaging impact pests such as rats, mice, cockroaches etc, can have on their reputation. However, with an Essex Pest Proof serviced contract, you can sleep easy, knowing you’re protected 365 days of the year.
It’s not just about protecting your reputation.
A pest control contract ensures that your business remain compliant with all pest-related health and safety regulations. Local authorities have the power to enforce a temporary closure if a business is found to have a severe infestation. Could your business recover from this?

Our aim is to ensure that your business complies with current Pest Control legislation and recommended best practices. On each visit we will apply the appropriate pesticides and monitoring devices necessary to treat and control the infestation covered in the service contract. Our clients will be made aware of the details of the work undertaken, all findings and any recommendations that may arise from our inspection.
