Insect Control

Why Professional Insect Control Matters

Whilst insects may be small, they can cause enormous problems when they invade your property. Many species breed at alarming rates, meaning a minor issue can quickly spiral into a full-blown infestation if left untreated.

Some insects spread dangerous diseases and bacteria, contaminating food preparation areas and living spaces. Others destroy valuable fabrics, furniture, and stored products, costing you hundreds or even thousands of pounds in damage. And for businesses – particularly in hospitality, food service, and healthcare – a single insect sighting can lead to devastating loss of reputation, failed health inspections, and potential closure.

DIY insect control methods often fail because they only address the visible problem without tackling the root cause. Our professional approach identifies how insects are entering your property, where they’re breeding, and what’s attracting them in the first place – then we eliminate the infestation and put measures in place to prevent it happening again.

Our Insect Control Services

At Clark Pest Control, we’ve developed one of the most comprehensive ranges of insect control services in the UK. Whatever species is causing you problems, our technicians have dealt with it before and know exactly how to remove it.

We provide expert solutions for:

Wasp Nest Removal

Discovering a wasp nest on your property is a frightening experience, and wanting it gone immediately is the natural reaction. But attempting DIY wasp nest removal is dangerous – disturbing a nest will trigger an aggressive response, and you could end up with multiple painful stings that may cause serious allergic reactions in some people.

Our wasp control specialists provide rapid-response nest removal services throughout the summer months when wasps are most active. We locate the nest, treat it safely using professional-grade insecticides, and ensure complete elimination of the colony. We work quickly and discreetly, whether you need emergency wasp removal at a domestic property or urgent assistance at a commercial venue before an important event.

Bed Bug Treatment

Bed bugs are one of the most distressing insect problems you can face. These blood-feeding parasites hide in mattresses, bed frames, furniture, and wall crevices, emerging at night to feed on sleeping occupants.

Whilst bed bugs don’t transmit diseases, they cause intensely itchy bites, painful rashes, and significant psychological distress. Many people struggle to sleep knowing these pests are in their bedroom, and the problem severely impacts quality of life and mental wellbeing.

Bed bugs are particularly common in hotels, hostels, student accommodation, and any shared living facilities, but they can affect any home. They’re expert hitchhikers, travelling in luggage, clothing, and second-hand furniture.

Our bed bug control service uses a combination of heat treatment and professional insecticides to eliminate all life stages – eggs, nymphs, and adults. We treat all affected rooms thoroughly, provide follow-up visits to ensure complete eradication, and give you practical advice on preventing future infestations.

Cockroach Control

Finding cockroaches in your home or business is genuinely disgusting – and these pests are far more than just unpleasant to look at.

Cockroaches are among the most unsanitary insects you can encounter. They carry dangerous bacteria including Salmonella, E. coli, and numerous pathogens that cause food poisoning, dysentery, and other serious illnesses. The World Health Organisation has confirmed they spread intestinal diseases causing diarrhoea and dysentery.

These nocturnal pests love dark, damp areas with easy access to food – kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and food storage areas are prime targets. In commercial properties, particularly restaurants and food businesses, a cockroach sighting can result in immediate closure, massive fines, and reputation damage that many establishments never recover from.

We tackle cockroach infestations using targeted insecticides, professional-grade bait stations, and thorough treatment of harbourage areas. Our technicians identify the species (German or Oriental cockroach), locate breeding sites, and implement a comprehensive eradication programme.

Ant Control

Ants might seem harmless, but when they invade your property in their hundreds or thousands, they become a serious nuisance. They contaminate food, create unhygienic conditions in kitchens, and some species can even damage wooden structures.

Our ant control service identifies the species, locates the nest (often outside the property), and uses targeted treatments to eliminate the colony at source rather than just killing the visible ants inside your home.

Flea Treatment

Fleas don’t just affect your beloved cats and dogs – they also target humans, causing itchy bites and potential allergic reactions. Once fleas enter your home on a pet, they quickly spread throughout carpets, soft furnishings, pet bedding, and upholstery.

Professional flea treatment is essential because these pests are incredibly resilient. Our service includes thorough treatment of all affected areas, targeting both adult fleas and larvae to break the breeding cycle. We also provide guidance on treating your pets and preventing re-infestation.

Moth Control

Several moth species can wreak havoc in UK homes. Textile moths (clothes moths) are particularly destructive, with their larvae chewing through natural fibres in clothing, carpets, and fabrics – destroying expensive garments, vintage textiles, and heirloom items.

Stored Product Moths infest pantries and food cupboards, contaminating flour, cereals, nuts, dried fruits, and other foodstuffs, forcing you to throw away contaminated stock.

Our moth control service identifies the species, treats all affected areas with appropriate insecticides, and helps you implement prevention strategies including proper storage and regular cleaning routines.

Fly Control

Various fly species cause problems in both domestic and commercial settings. House flies spread diseases by landing on food and surfaces after visiting waste and faecal matter. Drain flies breed in organic matter in plumbing systems. Cluster flies invade properties in autumn, gathering in attics and roof spaces in huge numbers.

We provide targeted fly control solutions based on the species involved, using insecticides, fly screens, UV fly killers, and treatments for breeding sites.

Beetle Control

Carpet beetles damage natural fibres, whilst larder beetles infest stored food products. Both species cause expensive damage and contamination if left unchecked. Our beetle control treatments target both adult beetles and larvae, with follow-up visits to ensure complete elimination.

Bee Removal

Whilst bees are vital to the ecosystem and should be protected wherever possible, occasionally they nest in problematic locations where they pose risks to people, particularly those with allergies.

We provide careful, humane bee removal that prioritises the survival of the colony. Where possible, we arrange for bees to be relocated by beekeepers rather than destroyed. We only exterminate bee colonies as an absolute last resort when relocation isn’t possible and there’s a genuine safety risk.

3. Professional Treatment – We use a combination of professional-grade insecticides, heat treatments, fumigation, bait stations, traps, and natural deterrents as appropriate.
