Aktiv Pest Control can help your business vastly reduce the risk of a pest infestation by a process called Integrated Pest Management. This is a combined approach to solving pest problems starting with a survey.
A survey is the most important part of your pest control package. It provides an opportunity to collect evidence of any pest activity.
The survey will supply us with information regarding the location and extent of the infestation, possible breeding sites, and at which stage of the life cycle the infestation is at.
Once this has been ascertained, the treatment process can begin.
