Expert 24/7 Pest Control & Eradication
Across Blackburn & Lancashire
Discreet, eco-conscious pest management. CPCA accredited specialists with over 155 years' combined experience.
Industrial Pest Control in Blackburn & Lancashire
Safeguard your supply chain, manufacturing lines, and logistics hubs with large-scale Integrated Pest Management (IPM). We deliver audit-ready compliance, permanent pest exclusion, and 24/7 rapid response across Lancashire.
Protecting Lancashire’s Factories, Warehouses & Supply Chains
In an industrial environment, a single pest sighting can bring production lines to a halt, ruin thousands of pounds worth of palletised stock, and result in failed third-party audits. Whether you manage a food processing plant, a high-bay logistics hub, or a heavy manufacturing facility, we understand the high stress and operational pressure that pest issues cause.
At Pest Medic, we provide calm, authoritative, and clinical industrial pest control across Blackburn and Lancashire. With over 155 years of combined operating experience among our technician team, we do not simply lay down toxic bait and walk away. Instead, we implement comprehensive Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programmes designed to identify and eliminate the root cause of pest ingress.
From winter rodent migrations seeking warmth in plant rooms and drainage networks, to summer stored product insects (SPIs) and flying insects threatening packaging zones, our CPCA accredited specialists get the job done right the first time. Using environmentally-conscious practices with few to no harmful chemicals, we keep your workforce safe and your facility 100% compliant.
How Our Industrial Integrated Pest Management Works
Large-scale facilities require a systematic, auditable approach. We focus on long-term prevention and structural exclusion rather than relying on heavy chemical usage.
Site Survey & Risk Matrix
We conduct an exhaustive inspection of your perimeter, loading bays, racking, service ducts, and subterranean drains. We aim to respond to all new enquiries within four hours to price and book your survey.
Species ID & Root Cause
Whether dealing with rats in drainage lines, mice in pallet racking, or beetles and moths in raw materials, we pinpoint the exact species and trace how they breached your building envelope.
Eco-Friendly Eradication & Proofing
We deploy non-toxic monitoring, humane trapping, and targeted, COSHH-compliant treatments where necessary. Crucially, we install heavy-duty entry point sealing, rat gates, and bird meshing.
Audit Reporting & Aftercare
You receive a comprehensive site folder containing bait station schematics, trend analysis, field biologist reports, and COSHH assessments—keeping you effortlessly prepared for unannounced inspections.
High-Risk Industrial Zones We Protect
Industrial sites present unique structural challenges, from constant roller-shutter traffic to sprawling roof voids. We tailor our IPM programmes for:
- ✓ Food & Beverage Manufacturing: Zero-tolerance pheromone monitoring, EFK fly units, and non-toxic perimeter defence.
- ✓ Warehousing & 3PL Logistics Hubs: Loading bay proofing, pallet racking protection, and high-level bird control.
- ✓ Pharmaceutical & Cleanrooms: Clinical insect exclusion and specialist biohazard decontamination.
- ✓ Packaging, Textiles & Engineering: Protection against cable-gnawing rodents, textile moths, and stored product beetles.
Why Proactive Pest Control is Critical for Your Facility
Reactive pest control in an industrial setting is a false economy. Waiting until staff spot droppings on the warehouse floor or a client rejects a contaminated shipment can cost tens of thousands of pounds. Partnering with Pest Medic delivers measurable operational benefits:
Pass Third-Party Audits
Maintain seamless compliance with BRCGS, SALSA, Tesco, Marks & Spencer, and Environmental Health standards through meticulous documentation and trend mapping.
Prevent Costly Downtime
Rats and squirrels frequently gnaw through 3-phase electrical cabling, fibre-optic lines, and pneumatic hoses. Our proofing services prevent machinery failure and fire hazards.
Eliminate Stock Write-Offs
Stop rodents, roosting pigeons, and insects from fouling raw ingredients, finished goods, and outer packaging prior to dispatch.
Protect Workforce Health
Safeguard your floor staff from Weil’s disease (Leptospirosis), Salmonella, histoplasmosis from bird guano, and painful summer wasp stings near waste skips.
Strict UK Compliance, Auditing & Chemical Safety
Industrial facilities are subject to rigorous legal oversight. Our CPCA accredited technicians ensure every action taken on your premises aligns with current UK legislation and environmental mandates.
FSA & Audit Standards
We operate in strict accordance with the Food Safety Act 1990 and Food Standards Agency (FSA) guidelines. For high-care food and pharmaceutical environments, we implement non-toxic internal monitoring, tamper-resistant external stations, and metal-detectable consumables to satisfy BRCGS and SALSA auditors.
COSHH & CRRU Stewardship
We champion an environmentally-conscious approach using few to no harmful chemicals. When professional-grade biocides or residual insecticides are required, we adhere strictly to COSHH regulations and the CRRU (Campaign for Responsible Rodenticide Use) code—preventing secondary poisoning of local Lancashire wildlife and keeping your staff safe.
Wildlife & Countryside Act 1981
High-bay warehouses and factory roofs frequently attract feral pigeons, seagulls, and grey squirrels. All bird proofing, commercial solar panel meshing, and trapping is carried out humanely and strictly where legally permitted under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 and General Licences.
155+ Years of Combined Experience Solving Complex Industrial Infestations
National pest control franchises often treat industrial contracts as a ticking-the-box exercise, sending under-trained operatives who spend ten minutes checking bait boxes without looking up at the roof trusses or down into the drains.
At Pest Medic, we are clinical diagnosticians. We treat the root cause, not just the symptom, ensuring your pest issue is resolved properly the first time.
CPCA Accredited & Fully Insured
Our technicians hold the highest levels of industry training, safe-working-at-height certifications, and comprehensive public liability insurance for industrial sites.
Rapid 4-Hour Response & 24/7 Cover
Manufacturing doesn't stop at 5pm. We provide round-the-clock 24/7 emergency call-outs and respond to all enquiries normally within four hours.
In-House Proofing & Drain Specialists
Unlike contractors who subcontract structural work, we install our own stainless-steel rat gates, galvanised weld-mesh, downpipe baffles, and bird netting.

Industrial Pest Control & Compliance FAQs
How do you control rats and mice in a food factory without using toxic rodenticides inside?
To comply with BRCGS, SALSA, and FSA standards, toxic baits are strictly avoided inside food production and open-product areas to prevent contamination. Instead, our Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategy relies on non-toxic internal monitoring blocks, smart humane trapping systems, UV tracking gels, and—most importantly—physical rodent proofing and CCTV drain surveys to seal the building envelope from the outside.
Can you take over an existing industrial pest control contract if we are unhappy with our current provider?
Yes, seamlessly. Many Lancashire facilities switch to Pest Medic when large national providers fail to resolve recurring pest issues or miss audit requirements. We will conduct a free site survey, review your existing site folder, map out all current hardware, and implement an immediate corrective action plan with zero disruption to your audit trail.
How do you deal with pigeons roosting in high warehouse rafters or under roof solar panels?
Feral pigeons and seagulls cause severe slip hazards and stock damage via acidic guano, while also introducing textile beetles and mites from their nests. Working in full compliance with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, our trained high-access technicians install heavy-duty UV-stabilised bird netting, anti-perching spikes, and specialist solar panel weld-mesh, alongside safe biocide guano removal.
How quickly can you attend an emergency pest sighting at our warehouse?
We operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If a pest is discovered inside a dispatch load, cleanroom, or production line, call us immediately on 01254 963737. We respond to enquiries normally within four hours and prioritise urgent industrial call-outs across Blackburn and our 20-mile Lancashire radius.
