Crawling Insects
-
Overview
Common garden ants (Lasius niger) are one of the UK’s most persistent crawling insect pests. Once they establish trails into kitchens or food‑prep areas, they can quickly become a nuisance.

Small soil deposits near paving or external walls
Ants entering through cracks, gaps or door thresholds
Increased activity during warm weather
Occasional appearance of winged “flying ants” in summer

Overview
The cat flea (Ctenocephalides felis) is the most common flea species found in UK homes.

Ensuring pets are treated with a vet‑approved flea product
Isolating smoke alarms prior to treatment
Correct preparation is essential — treatments are far less effective if preparation steps are missed.

Flying Insects
-
Overview
Wasps and hornets can become highly aggressive when defending their nest, posing a risk to people, pets and property. Professional treatment is essential to ensure safety and rapid knockdown of activity. Pest Smart Solutions & Consultancy provides fast, targeted nest treatments using specialist equipment capable of reaching both ground‑level and high‑level nests.
Signs of Activity
High numbers of wasps or hornets entering a single point
Visible paper‑like nest in lofts, sheds, trees or rooflines
Increased aggression or stinging incidents
Buzzing or movement within wall cavities or soffits
Our Treatment Programme
We deliver a professional insecticidal application directly into the nest entrance using extendable equipment for safe access. This ensures returning insects carry the treatment inside, leading to full colony knockdown.
Treatment includes:
Targeted application at the nest entrance
Rapid reduction in activity within hours
Full colony control typically within 24–48 hours
Safe access solutions for nests at height or obstructed locations
Important Safety Notes
Fish ponds must be fully covered before treatment to protect aquatic life
Access equipment may be required for nests above 8 metres or in difficult locations
Treatments are carried out with enhanced safety measures due to the increased aggression of hornets
Post‑Treatment Expectations
Activity will drop quickly, but full control may take up to 48 hours
The nest will not be removed, as it becomes inactive and will not be reused

Overview
Cluster flies (Pollenia rudis) are a common seasonal pest in UK homes, especially during autumn and early spring. They gather in large numbers within lofts, roof voids, window frames and unused rooms, often returning year after year. While harmless, their presence can be overwhelming and persistent without professional treatment.
Signs of Activity
Large numbers of slow‑moving flies in lofts or upper rooms
Flies gathering around windows, lights or warm areas
Dead flies accumulating in roof voids, skylights or corners
Seasonal re‑infestation, typically autumn and early spring

Clearing access to lofts or affected rooms
Covering or removing sensitive items
Ensuring all occupants and pets vacate the property
Isolating fire alarms prior to treatment to prevent activation
Correct preparation is essential — cluster flies hide deep within voids and require full‑area coverage.
Our Treatment Programme Cluster fly control is carried out using ULV (Ultra‑Low Volume) fogging, designed to reach inaccessible areas and provide rapid knockdown.
Treatment includes:
Professional ULV fogging of lofts, voids and affected rooms
Penetration into cracks, crevices and hidden harbourage points
Fast reduction of fly activity
Digital reporting and updates via your customer portal
This method is highly effective for large‑scale or recurring cluster fly problems.

Overview
Clothes moths — primarily the Common Clothes Moth (Tineola bisselliella) and the Case‑Bearing Clothes Moth (Tinea pellionella) — are fabric‑destroying pests that feed on natural fibres such as wool, silk, feathers and fur. Their larvae cause the damage, often leaving irregular holes in clothing, carpets and soft furnishings. Infestations can spread quickly and require targeted professional treatment.
Signs of Activity
Irregular holes in clothing, carpets or rugs
Silky webbing or small cases (case‑bearing species)
Tiny buff‑coloured moths resting in dark areas
Larvae found in wardrobes, drawers or under furniture
Damage to wool, cashmere, felt, and other natural fibres
Preparation Requirements Before treatment, Pest Smart will provide a full preparation guide. This must be followed to ensure a successful treatment. It includes:
Vacuuming carpets, rugs and soft furnishings
Bagging and laundering affected clothing where possible
Removing clutter to allow full access to skirting boards and furniture edges
Emptying wardrobes and drawers as instructed
Ensuring fire alarms are isolated if fogging is required
Correct preparation is essential — clothes moth larvae hide deep within fibres and crevices.
Our Treatment Programme Clothes moth control requires a targeted insecticidal approach designed to eliminate larvae and disrupt the breeding cycle. Treatment includes:
Professional application of residual insecticide to carpets, flooring and key harbourage points
Crack‑and‑crevice treatment for hidden larvae
ULV fogging where required for severe or widespread activity
Environmental recommendations to prevent recurrence
Digital reporting and updates via your customer portal
This combined approach provides fast knockdown and long‑term protection.
Safety & Access Requirements
Fire alarms must be isolated if fogging is used
The property may need to be vacated for up to four hours depending on treatment type

Wildlife Management
-
Overview
Feral pigeons are a common urban pest, often causing significant issues around roofs, balconies, solar panels and building ledges. Their droppings (guano) can damage surfaces, block gutters, attract secondary pests and pose health risks. Effective pigeon control requires a structured, site‑specific approach — and this begins with a professional survey.
Signs of Activity
Large amounts of droppings on ledges, roofs or windows
Nesting materials such as sticks, feathers and debris
Birds roosting on balconies, beams or solar panels
Noise from roosting or nesting birds
Strong odour or staining from accumulated guano
Survey Requirement Pest Smart Solutions & Consultancy must conduct a full pigeon survey before any treatment or proofing work can be carried out. This is essential because every site is different, and safe, legal pigeon control depends on:
Identifying roosting and nesting points
Assessing access requirements
Determining the correct proofing method (netting, spiking, wiring, solar‑panel protection, etc.)
Evaluating health and safety considerations
Ensuring compliance with UK wildlife legislation
No treatment, proofing or cleaning works will be scheduled until the survey is complete.
Our Survey Process Your pigeon survey includes:
Full inspection of affected areas
Photographic evidence and condition reporting
Assessment of height, access and equipment needs
Recommendations for proofing, deterrents or cleaning
Clear quotation for any required works
Digital reporting via your customer portal
This ensures all control measures are safe, effective and legally compliant.

Overview
Moles (Talpa europaea) are highly active burrowing mammals that create raised tunnels and molehills across lawns, gardens and paddocks. Their tunnelling can damage turf, disrupt soil structure and create hazards for pets, livestock and machinery. Because moles are solitary and constantly moving, effective control requires a structured, multi‑visit trapping programme.
Signs of Activity
Fresh molehills appearing daily or weekly
Raised surface tunnels across lawns or borders
Soft or uneven ground caused by sub‑surface runs
Disturbed soil around fence lines, sheds or pathways
Our Four‑Part Trapping Programme Pest Smart Solutions & Consultancy provides a four‑part mole trapping treatment, designed to quickly identify active runs and achieve full control.
Your treatment includes:
Visit 1 – Survey & Trap Placement Full inspection to identify active tunnels, followed by strategic placement of professional mole traps.
Visit 2 – Trap Check & Adjustment Assessment of trap activity, repositioning or adding traps based on mole movement.
Visit 3 – Continued Monitoring Further checks to ensure the mole has been caught and no new activity is present.
Visit 4 – Final Check & Sign‑Off Confirmation of control, removal of traps and advice on preventing future activity.
This structured approach ensures maximum effectiveness and reduces the chance of re‑infestation.
Important Notes
Mole trapping is humane and compliant with UK legislation
Activity can vary depending on soil type, weather and season
Larger gardens or paddocks may require additional traps or visits
