Services
Rodent Control
Our certified technicians specialise in comprehensive rodent control solutions for mice, rats, and other vermin infestations. Using advanced detection methods and environmentally responsible treatments, we eliminate existing infestations while implementing preventive measures. The service includes thorough property inspections, strategic baiting systems, and exclusion techniques to seal entry points. All treatments come with a re-infestation guarantee and detailed digital reporting with photographic documentation.
Insect Treatments
We provide targeted insect control for bed bugs, cockroaches, fleas, and other pests using industry-leading methods. Our heat treatment technology effectively eradicates bed bug infestations in a single visit. The service includes comprehensive property assessments, application of approved insecticides, and follow-up visits as needed. Technicians wear full protective gear and provide safety guidelines for residents and pets during treatment periods.
Bird Control
Specialised bird control services address pigeon and other avian pest issues through humane deterrent systems. We install anti-roosting spikes, netting solutions, and visual deterrents to prevent nesting and droppings accumulation. The service includes property assessments to identify attractants and comprehensive exclusion strategies. All methods comply with UK wildlife protection regulations while ensuring effective long-term solutions.
Bed Bug Heat Treatment
Our advanced heat treatment system eliminates bed bug infestations at all life stages through controlled thermal exposure. The process involves raising room temperatures to 60C for sustained periods, destroying eggs, nymphs, and adult bed bugs. This chemical-free solution requires no repeat visits and comes with a comprehensive guarantee. The service includes pre-treatment preparation guidance and post-treatment verification checks.
Pest Sanitation
Comprehensive sanitation services address pest-related contamination and prevent future infestations. The service includes deep cleaning of affected areas, removal of pest residues, and application of sanitising agents.

This service is particularly recommended for commercial kitchens, food storage facilities, and properties with severe infestations.

Report
I cannot say enough great things about Mario and the Archers team. We moved into a new house recently to discover we had rodents in the basement. I chose Archers and Mario as they demonstrated what true experts they are in the field from day one and I felt like my case was left in the most professional and upmost care throughout. What sealed the deal was that their services come with a guarantee and so you can be confident that the problem will not reoccur. I know other companies who will do a quick job, only to find the problem is back within a few months. Archers actually get to the root of the

Mario from Archers Pest Control attended our property to treat a severe case of ants. He was responsive, professional and took great quality and care to eliminate the ants. Having had other companies coming in previously we were totally reassured and thankful to have found Mario and couldnt recommend his service enough. He gets the job done quickly, properly and professionally.

Mario, an absolute pleasure meeting such a honest, reliable and gentleman. Service is 10/10. Archers are on point with timings, and they are not expensive at all compared to the prices found online. They guarantee their work and no fee if there is nothing caught which is the best gesture any company can do!! Mario you deserve employee of the month! Thank you for your visits and thank you Paul from Archers looking after me!
