Pest problems rarely disappear by themselves. In many cases, the longer an infestation is left untreated, the more difficult and expensive it can become to control. Not sure what pest you have? Tell us what you've seen, where you've seen it and the signs you've noticed, and we'll help you determine the most likely cause.
Finding pests inside your home can be extremely unpleasant. Whether you've discovered droppings behind the kitchen cupboards, heard scratching in the loft or woken up with unexplained bites, getting the problem identified early is important. We provide discreet residential pest control with treatments selected according to the pest, the size of the infestation and the affected area of the property.
Pests can quickly become a serious issue for restaurants, shops, offices, warehouses, rental properties and other commercial premises. Atlas Pest Connect provides pest-control solutions for local businesses, landlords and property managers, including one-off treatments and help with recurring pest problems.
We believe pest control should be straightforward. You'll receive clear information about the treatment required, transparent costs and professional pest-control services without unnecessary complications.
An overview of every pest we treat, common signs to look for, and how we approach treatment.
Rats can cause substantial problems once they gain access to a property. They can contaminate food and surfaces, damage insulation and stored belongings and gnaw through timber, plastic and electrical cables.
Common signs include scratching noises inside walls or ceilings, droppings, gnaw marks, disturbed food packaging and sightings around gardens, bins or outbuildings.
Our rat-control service can help with rats in houses, lofts, kitchens, wall cavities, gardens, garages, sheds and drainage systems. Treatment isn't simply about dealing with the rats you can see. Where possible, the source of the infestation and potential access points should also be identified to reduce the chances of the problem returning.
Mice only require a very small opening to enter a property and can quickly establish themselves somewhere warm with easy access to food. Kitchens, lofts, cupboards, garages and wall cavities are particularly common hiding places.
Signs of mice include small dark droppings, scratching at night, damaged food packets, gnaw marks and a distinctive smell associated with heavier infestations.
Our mouse-control service targets the infestation while also looking for potential entry points and conditions that may be encouraging mice into the property.
A few wasps in the garden aren't necessarily a problem, but regular wasp activity entering and leaving the same point can indicate a nearby nest. Wasps commonly build nests in lofts, roof spaces, wall cavities, sheds, garages, trees and underground areas.
Attempting to disturb an active nest can result in multiple wasps defending it, so professional treatment is usually the safest option.
We provide fast treatment for accessible and high-level wasp nests throughout our service area, including standard wasp nest treatment from £90.
Bed bugs are excellent at hiding and can establish themselves in bedrooms without initially being noticed. They are commonly found around mattresses, bed frames, headboards, bedside furniture, skirting boards, sofas and small cracks and crevices.
Possible signs include bites, small dark spotting around mattresses and furniture, shed skins or live insects.
Successful bed bug control requires a thorough approach because treating only the insects that are immediately visible may leave hidden bugs and eggs behind. We provide treatments for individual bedrooms, multiple rooms and larger infestations.
Fleas are often associated with cats and dogs, but once introduced into a property they can spread into carpets, rugs, furniture and other areas where pets spend time. Even after pets have received veterinary flea treatment, fleas can remain within the home.
Bites around the ankles and lower legs, and pets scratching more than usual, are often the first signs noticed.
Our flea treatments target affected areas throughout the property to help break the infestation cycle. We can treat individual rooms or complete properties depending on the extent of the problem.
Seeing the occasional ant outdoors is normal. Hundreds of ants travelling through kitchens, around doors or across work surfaces is another matter entirely. Ant colonies may be located beneath patios, inside walls, under floors or around the foundations of a property.
Simply killing visible ants often doesn't solve the underlying problem because the colony remains active.
Our treatments are designed to target the source of the infestation wherever practical, rather than just the ants you can see on the surface.
Cockroaches are persistent pests that thrive where they have access to warmth, moisture and food. They are particularly problematic in kitchens, bathrooms, restaurants, food businesses, apartment buildings and commercial premises.
Cockroaches tend to hide during daylight hours, so seeing them regularly during the day can indicate a significant infestation.
Professional treatment may require more than one visit depending on the species and severity of the problem.
It isn't usually the adult moth that causes the expensive damage - it's the larvae. Moth larvae can damage carpets, rugs, clothing, upholstery and other natural fibres.
Common signs include thinning carpet around furniture and skirting boards, damaged clothing, larvae or webbing in dark undisturbed areas.
Our moth-control treatments can target affected rooms or the entire property when the infestation has spread.
Carpet beetle larvae can damage carpets, clothing, upholstery and other materials containing natural fibres. They're often discovered when homeowners notice small beetles near windows or unusual damage around carpets and furniture.
Because larvae can hide beneath furniture and around the edges of rooms, a thorough inspection and treatment of affected areas is important.
We inspect the whole property, not just the room damage was found in, since larvae travel and hide in overlooked areas.
Hearing heavy scratching or movement from your loft during the daytime could indicate squirrels. Grey squirrels can enter through damaged roof areas and surprisingly small openings around fascias, soffits and eaves.
Once inside, they can damage insulation, stored possessions, timber and electrical wiring.
Our squirrel-control service helps deal with the immediate problem and identify potential access points that may require proofing.
An occasional fly entering through an open window is normal. Persistent numbers of flies inside a property can indicate a breeding source or another underlying problem.
We deal with common fly problems including house flies, cluster flies, bluebottles, blow flies, fruit flies and drain flies.
The correct treatment depends heavily on the species, which is why identification is an important first step. Finding and removing the original source is a critical part of controlling these infestations, followed by appropriate cleaning and treatment where required.

“We started finding mouse droppings behind the kitchen units and wanted it sorted before it became a bigger problem. They identified the entry points, carried out the treatment and gave us some really useful advice about proofing. Would definitely recommend.”
“After weeks of getting bitten we finally discovered bed bugs in one of the bedrooms. The whole situation was explained clearly and the treatment was very thorough. Great communication throughout and thankfully we are now bed bug free.”
