Commercial Services

Health and safety of the consumer and staff is becoming priority for many businesses, and therefore most commercial environments are realising the potential benefit of pest control management.

SK Ward Pest Control Services offer a FREE survey and quotation to establish your pest control requirements, and we can then provide a competitively priced bespoke pest control contract to suit your needs.

Electronic reports are completed after each visit recording our findings, products used and any recommendations made at the time of inspection and emailed to you for your records. A site safety file will be kept on site.

One-off visits can also be undertaken to deal with the occasional pest/vermin problem.
