Surrey-based Cleankill Pest Control has reached the finals of a prestigious national competition run by the professional body for facilities managers.

Cleankill was shortlisted along with four other companies in the FM Service Provider of the Year (SME) category of the British Institute of Facilities Management (BIFM) Awards 2014.

It is the first time Cleankill has entered the awards and staff and the Croydon-based company are thrilled to have reached the last stage of the competition.

Pest controllers brought in a huge cherry picker to help them solve a pigeon problem in Croydon.

Barratt Residential Asset Management called in Cleankill Pest Control after pigeons started causing a health hazard in a car park in the New South Quarter.

Cleankill Pest Control has once again proved it is at the top of its game by adding more awards to its collection of accolades.

The fast-growing company won the best Environmental Business in the Seahaven Business Awards 2014 and then went on to win the Best Medium Sized Business in the Croydon Business Awards.

The manager of a leading pest control company is calling for a ban on the sale of DIY rat and mouse poison to the general public in a bid to halt the spread of ‘super rats.’

Rats that are resistant to poison have been found in East Sussex, Hampshire, Kent and even the Houses of Parliament and are becoming an increasing problem.

Paul Bates, Managing Director of Cleankill Pest Control, says that the main cause is the incorrect use of bait by householders and people like farmers.

If staff in top-floor offices are complaining about flies – or your loft space is overrun with insects – it’s probably cluster flies.
