Prokill Pest Control

Prokill Pest Control: local, accredited pest management across the UK

Prokill is a UK pest control provider serving both domestic and commercial customers through a network of local branches. The company states that every technician is a trained and certificated pest controller, and that all Prokill Pest Professionals are trained to at least RSPH level 2 in Pest Management. Its teams combine local knowledge with technical expertise to inspect properties, recommend treatments and prevent infestations.

The service is organised around local branches in East England and the Midlands, and customers can search for their nearest branch by postcode. Prokill presents itself as offering a local service, with teams positioned so that customers are never far from a technician.

Pest problems covered

Prokill addresses four broad categories of pest problem, each with dedicated treatment and prevention work:

• Insects: targeted control for ants, bed bugs, bees, beetles, cockroaches, fleas, flies, hornets, moths, stored product insects and wasps, with services tailored to the severity and environment of the infestation.
• Rodents: rat and mouse control, rodent proofing and ongoing rodent control, with the company noting that eliminating an infestation involves more than laying bait.
• Birds: bird pest control, bird removal and bird proofing, including work on pigeons and seagulls, carried out across the UK and Ireland.
• Wildlife: control for foxes, moles, rabbits and squirrels, ranging from simple exclusion measures to complex projects delivered under licence from Natural England.

Commercial and domestic services

On the commercial side, Prokill works across all sectors and offers pest control for offices, retail, hospitality, food manufacturing, property managers, landlords and letting agents, and facilities management. The company describes comprehensive pest control solutions and monthly prevention plans for large commercial facilities.

For households, a dedicated team provides pest proofing solutions intended to eradicate the problem and give reassurance that it has been resolved. The company frames its domestic work as suitable both for serious infestations and for smaller problems, such as a mouse in the kitchen.

Free pest control audit and compliance advice

Prokill offers a free local Pest Control Audit. This assessment is presented as a way to identify potential risk areas for different types of pest, whether or not a customer already has a pest control agreement. Alongside the audit, technicians provide advice on housekeeping and preventative measures, and recommendations for treating any problems found.

The company also highlights legislation compliance: infestations can infringe health and safety regulations and lead to closure or serious interruption of a business. Prokill states that its team is authorised to create comprehensive pest cover where necessary and can notify existing contractors on the customer's behalf if the customer wishes to change provider.

Environmental approach and responsible rodenticide use

Prokill describes itself as one of the leading environmentally friendly pest control companies in the UK and Ireland, with environmental objectives tied to its service and staff training. The company says it uses bespoke web-based administration and documentation systems to reduce printing costs, provide uniformity across the group and allow real-time access. It also references the Campaign for Responsible Rodenticide Use (CRRU) and states that treatments are used responsibly in line with that campaign.

Branch network

The company lists local branches in East England — Basildon, Clacton-on-Sea, Colchester, Southend on Sea, Sudbury and Thurrock — and in the Midlands — Dudley, Shrewsbury, Telford and Wolverhampton. Prokill also presents itself as an established growing franchise network with support from industry-leading pest control experts, and it is linked to Rentokil.
