Proofing Services
PROOF YOUR HOME OR BUSINESS AS A METHOD OF PREVENTION
Pest proofing is the process of reducing and sealing up potential access points to prevent pests from entering your property.
Pests such as rodents are experts at getting inside buildings! They will use gaps and weak points such as drains, windows and doors, roofing and walls to get inside. If they are successful then your property will be at risk from an infestation.
It is much more cost effective to have proofing measures in place than to deal with a pest problem inside your home or business due to this being a longer term preventative measure.
DALPEST Pest Solutions recommend proofing your building as a means of prevention. Our experienced technicians are able to assess your site or property and advise you of any areas suitable for proofing and the methods best suited to you.
We have a number of proven solutions designed to keep the pests away!
The benefits of investing in proofing solutions
1. Prevent unwanted infestations
2. Reduce potential health risks
3. Reduce costs by using preventative methods
4. Peace of mind
RODENT PROOFING
Rodent proofing is designed to help seal holes and common entry points to prevent rats, mice and squirrels from entering your property. Rats and mice in particular only need a tiny point of access to squeeze through to get inside, and once inside they will chew anything and everything!
The most common areas for proofing against rodents are air bricks and vents, drains and around door frames where small holes can form.
The proofing methods we use to prevent this from happening are listed below.
DALPEST'S RODENT PROOFING SOLUTIONS
A combination of expanding foam / cement backed with mesh to prevent chewing.
Brush seals which can be applied to doors.

BIRD PROOFING
This service is designed to deter birds away from premises. We have solutions available for domestic and commercial properties. Birds such as pigeons and gulls can become difficult pests to manage if left, plus they can spread diseases and cause untold damage to property and stock items for businesses.
The biggest challenge when dealing with birds in a commercial setting, is access to the right spot. Our technicians are IPAF trained which allows us to work at height to administer the correct and most effective bird proofing measures.
Many proofing techniques can be unsightly, therefore DALPEST Pest Solutions will only provide solutions designed to fit with the style of your property.

SOLAR PANEL PROOFING
More and more properties have solar panels installed on their roofs, but these can make ideal nesting spots for pigeons.
DALPEST Pest Solutions are able to help!
Our able team will survey your property, whether it is commercial or domestic, and evaluate the best solution for the deterrent of birds. Access will be made by either MEWP or fixed scaffold to apply the proofing measures around the panels. This can include either a mesh/clip system or adjustable spikes around the perimeter.
Before these proofing measures are introduced, DALPEST Pest Solutions will ensure that all live birds and nesting material are removed from beneath the panels to ensure the elimination of contamination. Our team can also offer a thorough clean of the solar panels to ensure they are working to their full potential.
