Pest Control in Shrewsbury, England — Same-Day Treatment for Woodworm and Infestations

Watching them work together, it was clear they had genuine respect for each other — no shouting, no dismissiveness. When I offered them water, they declined but thanked me properly, a small thing that said a lot. After the woodworm treatment, no live activity was found at the 12-month inspection.

My journey started with uncertainty about wood-boring insects in my period flat. After having a go at sorting it myself, I realised I needed proper expert help. Tavora patiently talked me through everything without making me feel daft. Now, no active woodworm activity was detected at the 12-month follow-up inspection. Thankfully, I've found a lasting solution, and I can finally rest easy knowing my home's safe from pests like mice as well.

Managing a large complex in Shrewsbury, I spotted woodborer at a neighbouring property. I called them, and they coordinated directly with the other contractors — I didn't have to oversee any of it. The follow-up inspection showed no active woodworm activity detected. Nest removal was successful, and everything got sorted without any drama — that's all I ask for, really.

After a storm, I rang at 7.15am following a rough night — they picked up straight away and had someone there by 10. The lads arrived, and the tarp was on within an hour of getting there — sorted the immediate problem. They didn't add to the panic, just worked through it in a calm, clear way.

Back on the property, you'd do it yourself, but tackling woodworm in a Shrewsbury flat's a different matter. They used thermal imaging to find the hidden damage and treated it properly. No song and dance, just got on with it. I trust it'll hold — that's the main thing.

After two years of putting it off, the committee finally agreed to get pest control done at our Shrewsbury shopfront — for the sake of our customers as much as anything. We got three quotes and this wasn't the cheapest, but it covered the most complete scope for what we actually needed. No live woodworm activity was found at the 12-month follow-up inspection, and the handover documentation package is exactly what I needed for the owners register. I'll be recommending we book the next inspection cycle with the same contractor at the next RMC board meeting to keep the control service ticking over properly.

As a leaseholder with a baby, I was worried about the disruption during the pest control treatment. They texted ahead of the noisy bits so I could settle her, and I appreciated that they didn't leave the back gate open — I'd specifically asked about that. Thankfully, I haven't seen a cockroach since.

During a pre-purchase inspection, I found what looked like potential wood-boring beetles in the period flat I was considering. I asked them to let me know before they got to the noisy sections — didn't want to startle the kids. Afterwards, I checked the driveway and lawn myself — not a single nail or screw left behind. No live wood-boring activity was detected at the 12-month follow-up inspection. There was also a wasp nest nearby, which they dealt with promptly.

After running a thorough financial analysis, I worked out the break-even on replacement was 7 years given the cumulative repair costs for wood-boring insects in my flat. They put together a 15-year cost projection — repair vs replace — which is exactly how I make decisions. No live activity from wood-boring pests was detected at the 12-month follow-up inspection, confirming no nests were present.

I checked their registration on the competent-person scheme register before I booked. They carried out a thorough woodworm treatment in my period flat, and I was pleased they handed over the insurance-backed guarantee certificate without me having to ask. The outcome was exactly what I needed — my property's now pest-free.

As a property investor, I needed pest control done in the tenancy gap — 12-day window — and they made it. They provided a detailed timber/woodworm survey report that met the BS 8417 wood preservation standard, which was perfect for my accountant's depreciation schedule.

I've got one hour a week for property matters — they needed maybe 20 minutes of that. They found no live woodworm activity in my flat, and the report was in my inbox by the time I'd finished consulting. Efficient handling, and it gave me real peace of mind.
