Rats are a member of the rodent family and are a common problem these days and carry diseases including Weils Disease (leptospirosis), which can be fatal for human beings. Quite often a rat problem can be traced back to issues with drains or a building defect e.g.
Before any treatment starts, we carry out a thorough inspection of the premises and gardens/grounds, This inspection is two fold, using 20 years of experience and the use of my trusted terriers to seek out any harbourages, runs, nests etc.The terriers are experienced at also dealing with any rats in the property in a effective and humane way.

Chris came to our rescue at a time of crisis. When we discovered our home was infested with thousands of house moths due to our new, chemically untreated, wool underlay/carpet. Chris proved to be kind, flexible and hard working. Because of asthma/allergies we were unable to use the usual potent chemical treatments.
A member of the rodent family, mice are a common pest problem and can spread harmful disease. One of the first signs of an infestation are their droppings, which look very similar to 'black grains of rice'. Another sign is damage caused to food packaging. Mice are mostly found in and around the kitchen, cupboards under the stairs and around boiler cupboards.
The wasp is the most dangerous British stinging insect. Unlike the bee, which dies after stinging once, the wasp stings multiple times. To those who carry an allergy to wasps the consequences of a sting can be life threatening. A wasp nest left untreated can grow to house upwards of 15,000 wasps so early treatment is always advised.
On average, moles live for four years and can create havoc to agricultural lands, equestrian centres, golf courses, cemeteries, public spaces and gardens to name a few. The methods of control include: the use of phosphine gas; trapping; and, deterrents. Kapow Pest Control believes the most efficient, effective and humane method for controlling moles is through trapping.

Chris has fantastic knowledge and expertise. He did a very complete and reassuring rodent inspection with his well-trained canine helpers Dodge & Flo and the whole experience was surprisingly interesting and enjoyable. I don't normally write reviews but am so pleased with such a good service. I have already recommended Chris and Kapow Pest Control to a friend and will definitely do that again if anyone I know needs pest control services.

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness
I recently called Chris as we were concerned we had a termite infestation. Chris was extremely responsive and called me back immediately (even though it was a Sunday). He was very professional and helpful in his response. I would highly recommend Chris to provide pest control services.
