Pest Management & Control: The Science Behind Effective Pest Eradication
Pest control is not merely about eliminating visible pests; it involves a strategic, science-based approach to long-term prevention and management. Pests are highly adaptable creatures, capable of finding new ways to thrive in urban environments. Successfully managing them requires a deep understanding of their behaviour, biology, and the environmental factors contributing to infestations.
At Service Giant, we take a comprehensive and proactive approach to pest control. Instead of offering temporary fixes, we focus on permanent solutions that prevent recurring infestations. Our team of experts utilises advanced pest control techniques, including:
- Integrated Pest Management (IPM): A holistic approach that combines biological, physical, and chemical methods to control pests while minimising environmental impact.
- Behavioural Analysis: Understanding how pests move, breed, and survive helps us design more effective eradication and prevention strategies.
- Tailored Servicing: Every property has unique challenges, so we customise our treatments to suit the specific needs of residential, commercial, and industrial clients.
- Cutting-Edge Technology: From heat treatments and non-toxic solutions to eco-friendly insecticides and humane trapping methods, we use the latest industry advancements to ensure effective and ethical pest management.
By implementing a targeted and preventive strategy, we remove pests and ensure they do not return. Whether it’s rodents, insects, or birds, our expert team at Service Giant is committed to providing a safe, hygienic, and pest-free environment for your home or business.
Our Pest Control Approach
At Service Giant, we follow a structured and methodical process to effectively tackle any pest infestation, ensuring a thorough and lasting solution. Our approach is designed to eliminate pests and prevent their return, keeping your home or business safe and hygienic.
Inspection & Assessment
Every successful pest control strategy begins with a detailed property survey. Our experts conduct a comprehensive inspection to:
Identify signs of pest activity
Locate nests, breeding areas, and food sources
Pinpoint potential entry points and vulnerabilities
This initial step allows us to assess the severity of the infestation and tailor our approach accordingly.
Identification & Planning
Once we determine the pest species and the extent of the infestation, we create a customised treatment plan. Understanding pest behaviour and lifecycle is crucial for choosing the most effective and sustainable eradication methods.
Treatment & Removal
We implement the necessary treatments to remove pests using safe, efficient, and environmentally responsible techniques. Our methods range from:
Non-toxic and humane options for minimal disruption
Heat treatments for bed bugs and insect infestations
Baiting and trapping systems for rodents
Specialist fumigation and targeted chemical treatments for severe infestations
We aim to eliminate pests swiftly while prioritising safety for your family, employees, or customers.
Proofing & Prevention
Eliminating pests is only part of the solution; preventing future infestations is just as important. Our team takes proactive measures to secure your property, including:
Sealing entry points to block access for rodents and insects
Advising on hygiene and waste management to remove attractants
Installing deterrents where necessary to discourage future invasions
Ongoing Monitoring & Support
Pest control is not a one-time fix. To ensure long-term protection, we offer regular follow-ups and monitoring to detect re-infestation signs. Our team provides expert guidance and preventive measures to help you maintain a pest-free environment.
Tailored Solutions for Every Property
We cater to industrial, commercial, and residential properties, offering tailored solutions that address the unique challenges of each environment. Whether you’re a homeowner, restaurant owner, warehouse manager, or office operator, Service Giant delivers expert pest control services to keep your space safe, clean, and compliant with health regulations.
Contaminated Waste Removal: Eliminating Health Hazards
Common Contaminated Waste Issues
- Rodent Droppings: Known carriers of Hantavirus, Salmonella, and Leptospirosis, rodent waste can contaminate food, water, and surfaces, putting occupants at risk of severe illnesses.
- Dead Pests & Carcasses: Decomposing remains not only produce strong odours but also attract maggots, flies, and scavengers, creating a breeding ground for further pest activity.
- Pest Nesting Materials – Whether shredded insulation, chewed-up wires, or hidden food stashes, nests increase the risk of fire hazards and bacterial contamination.
- Bird Guano: Accumulated droppings can carry fungal spores, such as Histoplasma, leading to severe respiratory infections when inhaled. Guano buildup can cause structural damage, corroding metal, stone, and painted surfaces.
Professional Contaminated Waste Removal with Service Giant
At Service Giant, we understand the importance of thorough and hygienic waste removal. Our trained professionals use specialist cleaning techniques, industrial-grade disinfectants, and PPE to safely eliminate contaminated materials without spreading harmful pathogens.
- Safe & Compliant Removal: We follow industry best practices and legal regulations to handle and dispose of contaminated waste properly.
- Sanitisation & Disinfection: After removal, we deep-clean affected areas to eliminate bacteria, viruses, and lingering odours.
- Prevention & Proofing – To reduce the risk of re-infestation, we identify and seal entry points while advising on proactive hygiene measures.
By choosing Service Giant, you ensure that your home, office, or commercial space remains clean, safe, and pest-free, protecting health and property.
Decontamination & Sanitisation: Restoring a Hygienic Environment
At Service Giant, we go beyond pest removal by offering comprehensive decontamination and sanitisation services. Our expert team ensures homes, offices, warehouses, restaurants, and other commercial properties are spotless, hygienic, and free from pest-related hazards.
Why Decontamination is Essential
- Health Protection: Pest waste can spread diseases such as Salmonella, Hantavirus, and Leptospirosis. Proper sanitisation eliminates these risks.
- Air Quality Improvement: Pests leave microscopic allergens in the air that can trigger asthma, allergies, and respiratory issues.
- Odour Neutralisation: Infestations often cause persistent, foul smells that linger even after removing pests
- Structural Preservation: Pests can leave acidic waste that damages wood, metal, and insulation if not adequately cleaned.
Our Sanitisation Process
1. Deep Cleaning & Disinfection
We start with industrial-strength biocides and disinfectants to eliminate bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Our team focuses on:
High-touch areas such as floors, walls, countertops, and ventilation systems
Deep cleaning hidden pest nesting areas to prevent lingering contamination
Safe, eco-friendly disinfectants that protect people and pets
2. Air Purification
Pests can leave airborne contaminants such as dander, droppings, dust, and microscopic bacteria. We use:
HEPA filtration systems to remove fine particles and allergens
Fogging treatments to disinfect the air and neutralise odours
Ventilation cleaning to eliminate pest-related pollutants
3. Odour Control
Infestations often result in unpleasant, lingering smells. Our odour control techniques include:
Ozone and enzyme-based treatments that break down odour molecules at the source
Absorption technology that removes stubborn smells from walls, fabrics, and air ducts
Sanitising sprays that leave a fresh, clean scent without artificial masking agents
4. Protective Treatments
To prevent future contamination, we apply:
Antimicrobial coatings that offer long-term surface protection against bacteria and fungi
Pest-repellent treatments to deter pests from returning
Expert advice on hygiene practices to maintain a clean and pest-free environment

Common Pests in London & How We Tackle Them
London’s dense urban environment provides pests with ample food, shelter, and breeding grounds, making infestations a persistent problem for homes and businesses. At Service Giant, we specialise in tailored pest control solutions to eliminate and prevent infestations, ensuring a safe and pest-free environment.
Below is a breakdown of the most common pests in London and our strategic approach to managing them effectively.
Rodents
Rodents are one of the most widespread and destructive pests in London. They carry diseases, contaminate food supplies, and cause significant structural damage by gnawing through wires, pipes, and insulation.
Rats
Rats thrive in London due to abundant food sources and hidden nesting spots, mainly in sewers, basements, and behind walls. They reproduce rapidly, making infestations challenging to control without professional intervention.
Our Solution:
Placement of tamper-proof bait stations and humane trapping methods
Exclusion and proofing techniques to block entry points
Waste management advice to eliminate attractants
Mice
Mice are smaller than rats but just as destructive. They can squeeze through tiny gaps as small as 5mm and contaminate food with droppings and urine.
Our Solution:
Behavioural analysis to track movement patterns and locate nests
Non-toxic treatments such as electronic repellent systems and humane traps
Sealing cracks, vents, and wall voids to prevent re-infestation
Grey Squirrels
While they may appear harmless, grey squirrels can cause significant property damage by chewing through roof timbers, loft insulation, and electrical wiring, increasing the risk of fires and short circuits.
Our Solution:
Exclusion techniques to block access to lofts and roof spaces
Habitat modification to remove food sources and nesting areas
Note: Relocation is not permitted in the UK, so humane control measures are used
Crawling Insects
Crawling insects infest kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and storage areas, posing health risks and damaging property.
Cockroaches
Cockroaches are resilient pests that thrive in warm, damp environments such as kitchens, restaurants, and drains. They spread E. coli and Salmonella, contaminating food and surfaces.
Our Solution:
Gel baits and insect growth regulators to disrupt reproduction
Residual insecticides applied to harbourage areas
Deep cleaning services to eliminate attractants
Ants
Ant infestations can escalate rapidly as worker ants leave pheromone trails, attracting entire colonies to food sources.
Our Solution:
Barrier treatments to block entry points
Baiting strategies to eliminate colonies at the source
Non-toxic treatments for homes with pets or children
Carpet Beetles & Silverfish
These pests damage fabrics, books, and wallpaper, particularly in humid environments.
Our Solution:
Heat treatments to kill larvae and eggs
Residual insecticides applied to crevices and infested areas
Biting Insects
Biting insects is a nuisance and can cause skin irritation, allergic reactions, and secondary infections from excessive scratching.
Fleas & Bed Bugs
These pests infest carpets, mattresses, and upholstery, causing itchy bites and discomfort. Bed bugs are tricky to detect and can survive for months without feeding.
Our Solution:
Heat treatments to kill all life stages (eggs, larvae, and adults)
High-powered vacuuming to remove pests and allergens
Targeted insecticide applications for long-term prevention
Mosquitoes
Although more common in summer, mosquitoes can be an issue in damp basements, gardens, and near-standing water.
Our Solution:
Habitat modification to remove stagnant water sources
Larvicide treatments to prevent breeding
Flying Insects
Flying insects are vectors of disease and can cause extensive damage to stored food, textiles, and furnishings.
Flies & Moths
Flies contaminate food with bacteria, while moths destroy clothing, carpets, and upholstery.
Our Solution:
UV fly traps and insect light traps to attract and eliminate flying pests
Pheromone monitoring systems to detect infestations early
Storage recommendations to protect textiles and food supplies
Wasps
Wasps become aggressive when their nest is disturbed, and their stings can trigger severe allergic reactions.
Our Solution:
Safe nest removal using protective equipment
Preventative treatments to stop wasps from returning
Advice on sealing entry points to prevent nesting
