Lettings and landlord pest control

The importance of professional pest control in the lettings sector is best demonstrated by the impact pests can have on tenants, properties and reputations. Pests such as rodents, bed bugs and cockroaches can spread quickly between properties, cause damage to fixtures and furnishings and lead to complaints or void periods if not dealt with promptly.

The team at MJ Backhouse have the experience and accreditations to support letting agents and landlords with effective pest control management and preventative measures across rental properties, HMOs and managed portfolios.

Lettings and landlord pest control services

We work with letting agents and landlords across Yorkshire to respond quickly to pest issues and provide ongoing prevention to protect your properties. In the lettings sector, we understand how important it is to resolve problems efficiently while maintaining tenant satisfaction and protecting your reputation.

With an MJ Backhouse commercial pest control contract, you get scheduled visits to your properties, thorough inspections from our experienced pest control technicians and expert advice on pest proofing and prevention to minimise future risks.

Common pests in rental properties

Rats and mice– rodents can enter properties through small gaps and are often attracted by food waste, causing damage and distress for tenants.
Bed bugs– these pests spread easily between rooms and properties and can be difficult to eliminate without professional treatment.
Cockroaches– commonly found in kitchens and bathrooms, cockroaches can contaminate surfaces and multiply rapidly if left untreated.

Signs of a pest infestation in rental properties

Signs of a pest infestation in rental properties can vary but often include droppings, unusual odours and visible damage to furniture, wiring or stored items. Tenants may report bites, sightings of insects or rodents, or noises such as scratching in walls or ceilings.

Other indicators include grease marks along skirting boards, shed insect skins or eggs and nests in hidden areas such as cupboards, loft spaces or behind appliances. Early identification and treatment is key to preventing the issue from spreading to neighbouring properties.

I had an issue with pigeons nesting and making all a lot of mess and noise loudly cooing all day and night on the inaccessible veranda/roof area of my top floor flat.Mr Blackhouse & son came to inspect then a few days later to clear the area and set up spikes and netting.They were super friendly and respectful of my home, came on time and got the job done in short time.Afterwards I inspected their work. The whole area was clean and the netting looks very neat as you can see in the picture.That was around a week ago and I have not heard or seen a pigeon out there since.Would happily use them again and I can highly recommend their services.
