We provide a rapid response service and can be with you as soon as possible, seven days a week. We tackle problems for both domestic and commercial customers at very affordable rates. If you are experiencing unwelcome rodent visitors, an invasion of insects or mountains of molehills, give us a call today. We can help with noises in the loft, and our pest control services cover all CO postcodes.

Identifying the Pest

The first step in our pest control process is to quickly determine the target species using the evidence available to us. This may be from droppings, noises from the loft, customer sightings or the use of motion cameras and monitor systems. Once we have identified the pest, we can put a treatment plan together.

Treatment Plan

For rodents, our treatment plan typically includes a baiting strategy in conjunction with traps. Poisons are introduced gradually over about a week to prevent rodents from getting suspicious of new foods, and to ensure whole colonies are encouraged to feed. We offer advice on how to avoid future pest problems, and our methods for rodent control are fast, effective, humane and discreet.

Mole Catcher

Moles spend most of their lives burrowing underground but come to the surface for food. Overnight, molehills will appear on lawns, fields, golf courses and sports pitches. These are not only unsightly and damaging to mowing or farming machinery, but the uneven surfaces they create can be dangerous for livestock. From experience, we have found that traditional traps are the most effective and humane way to capture moles. We work on a no-mole, no-fee basis, but are confident that we can have your property mole-free in a few days.

Wasp Nest Removal

Wasps build their nests in dry, safe, solid places, such as lofts, sheds and garages. If you have a nest, don't try to tackle it as you may put yourself or your family in harm's way. Instead, call our Colchester wasp nest removal team to quickly and safely destroy it. After a thorough risk assessment, we will administer a strong insecticide powder at the entrance to the nest. This is fast-acting and safe to use around humans and pets. After a few hours, and once the queen wasp has died, there should be no more activity. New wasps will never return to colonise the old nest.

Bedbug Treatments

A particularly unpleasant visitor is the bedbug. Bedbugs can be inadvertently brought into your home via second hand furniture or from infested hotel rooms. Bedbugs need to feed on blood, so the first signs you have them may be bites on your body, or spots of blood on your bedding. Professional pest controllers will need to eliminate them as soon as possible. At DCM we have several different removal methods, but our most successful is heat treatments; a localised heat source rapidly and effectively kills the bedbugs with ease.

Flea Treatments

Fleas enter your home by hitching a lift with your pets and they immediately make themselves comfortable by infesting your soft furnishings, carpets and pet bedding. Despite being so tiny, they give a nasty bite and carry numerous diseases and allergens. Vacuuming frequently, washing materials and treating your pets will help keep the fleas at bay but won't get rid of them completely. Our Colchester pest technicians will quickly locate the problem areas and eliminate any flea infestations and eggs.

Fox Control

In urban areas, a recent increase in the number of foxes has been partly blamed on poor rubbish disposal. Foxes carry a number of nasty and contagious conditions including mange, fleas and parasites, which can easily be passed onto cats and dogs. As they grow bolder, attacks on chickens and domestic pets have become more frequent and upsetting for owners. Rurally, foxes cause damage to livestock and poultry, and they can also cause a nuisance by digging up gardens and flower beds. Our pest control team has the experience and knowledge to effectively control and manage fox problems.
