From commercial kitchens and food processing sites to livestock housing and waste facilities, flies are capable of causing hygiene concerns, customer complaints and operational disruption incredibly quickly.

Rodents have once again made national headlines after reports linked a recent illness outbreak on a cruise ship to possible exposure to Hantavirus. While investigations are still ongoing, the story has reignited conversations around the health risks rodents can pose to humans, businesses and public environments.

When it comes to targeted insect control, gel baits have become a go-to solution for professional pest controllers across the UK. Designed to be highly palatable, precise, and effective, gel baits offer a smarter way to control infestations without the need for widespread spraying.

For many professional pest controllers, moles sit in a slightly different category to rodents and insects. They rarely enter buildings, they are not chasing stored product, and they aren’t spreading contamination in the same way. However, on things like; sports turf, equestrian land, golf courses, airstrips, parks and managed estates, mole activity can become a high-impact problem quickly.

As temperatures drop and nights draw in, rodents start to seek warmth, shelter and easy access to food. Each winter brings a rise in callouts across homes, farms and businesses, but experts are warning that this season could see higher than usual rodent pressure

Fly control isn’t new, but the stakes in 2025 are a whole new game. The pest control industry in the UK continues to evolve rapidly, and if you're still relying on outdated kit or chemical only solutions, it's time for a serious upgrade.

Following a year of significantly reduced wasp activity in 2024, largely due to prolonged wet conditions and flooding that impacted queen survival rates, 2025 has seen a striking resurgence.
