At Essex Pest Solutions, we’re proud to be your trusted local pest control experts, serving homes and businesses across Essex with fast, reliable, and effective solutions. With years of industry experience, our fully trained and insured technicians are committed to delivering the highest standards of service—every time.

We understand that dealing with pests can be stressful and disruptive. That’s why we offer same-day response, no call-out charges, and a discreet, professional service to quickly restore your peace of mind.

Whether it’s an emergency infestation or preventative pest management, our goal is simple—to protect your property and keep it pest-free all year round.

We work closely with both domestic and commercial customers, from homeowners and landlords to restaurants, hotels, and offices, ensuring tailored pest control solutions to meet your needs.

Ant infestations are more than a minor annoyance—they can disrupt daily life or business operations, contaminate food, and even lead to property damage. Whether you’re battling black garden ants, flying ants, or more persistent species, our professional ant control service in Essex removes the problem quickly and puts lasting prevention in place.

Our local technicians use targeted, species-specific treatments that reach the heart of the colony—not just the ants you can see. By understanding ant behaviour and nesting patterns, we tailor a plan for your property that combines precise treatment, proofing, and practical prevention advice for long-term results. We cover all of Essex, including Chelmsford, Colchester, Southend, Brentwood, Basildon and surrounding areas.

Bed bugs can unsettle a household or business fast. They hide deep in seams and crevices, travel on luggage and soft furnishings, and multiply quickly—so the best results come from acting early and decisively. Essex Pest Solutions delivers specialist bed bug removal across Essex, including Chelmsford, Colchester, Southend, Basildon, Brentwood and nearby areas.

We begin with a detailed inspection to locate harbourage points—mattress seams, bed frames, headboards, skirting, and sockets—so the treatment targets every hotspot. Our primary approach is whole-room heat remediation, raising ambient temperatures to bed-bug-lethal levels for a sustained period to eliminate eggs, nymphs, and adults in one programme. Where needed, we complement heat with precise, professional-grade residual applications to cracks and joints, mattress encasements, and follow-up monitoring for complete clearance.

Why choose us:

• Same-day attendance and discreet service options

• Chemical-free heat as the lead method, with targeted treatments when appropriate

• Trained, insured technicians and clear preparation/aftercare guidance (laundering, bagging, vacuuming, prevention)

• Guaranteed results with practical advice to stop re-introductions

If you’ve noticed bites, spotting on bedding, or live insects, book an inspection today and we’ll restore your property—and your peace of mind—quickly and safely.

Noticed threadbare patches in your carpet or small moths fluttering near skirting boards and wardrobes? That’s a common sign of carpet moth activity. These pests thrive on natural fibres—wool, silk, cotton—leaving bald areas on carpets and damage to rugs, upholstery, and clothing. Our carpet moth control in Essex tackles the source of the problem and puts long-term protection in place for homes across Chelmsford, Colchester, Brentwood, Basildon, Southend and nearby areas.

We start with a detailed survey to confirm the species and locate harbourage points (edges of carpets, under furniture, cupboards and wardrobes). Your treatment plan can include:

• Thorough HEPA vacuuming to remove larvae and frass from fibres

• Targeted residual applications to edges, seams and floor voids

• Insect growth regulators to break the life cycle

• Pheromone monitoring and an optional follow-up visit for full clearance

Cockroaches aren’t just unsightly—they spread bacteria and allergens, contaminate food, and can quickly establish thriving colonies behind appliances, in ducting, and wall voids. If you’ve spotted one, there are almost certainly more. Essex Pest Solutions provides fast, discreet, and effective cockroach control for homes and businesses across Essex.

What we treat & where we work
We deal with all common species—including German, Oriental, American, and Brown-banded cockroaches—using methods suitable for kitchens, restaurants, takeaways, cafes, hotels, warehouses, and residential properties. Our approach supports food-safety and HACCP standards.

Getting itchy bites or seeing fleas on pets or furnishings? Fleas spread fast through carpets, sofas and pet bedding, and DIY sprays rarely break the full life cycle. Essex Pest Solutions provides rapid, professional flea treatments across Chelmsford, Colchester, Southend, Basildon, Brentwood, Harlow and surrounding areas.

Our approach

• Thorough inspection to confirm activity and map hotspots (carpets, skirtings, beds, soft furnishings).

• Targeted residual treatments on fibres and floor edges; ULV/mist options for heavy infestations.

• Lifecycle break—methods aimed at eggs, larvae, pupae and adults for lasting results.

• Pet & property guidance—coordinate with your vet for pet treatments, plus laundering and vacuuming protocols to prevent rebound.

• Follow-up & guarantee for complete peace of mind.

Ideal for homes, landlords and end-of-tenancy cleans. Safe for families and pets when used as directed, with same-day appointments available.

Small rodents, big headaches. Mice can chew through wiring and insulation, contaminate food stores, and spread bacteria—creating real health and safety risks at home and at work. If you’ve noticed droppings, night-time scratching, gnaw marks, grease smears along skirting, or a sharp ammonia smell, it’s time to act before the problem escalates.

Essex Pest Solutions delivers fast, discreet mice control across Chelmsford, Colchester, Southend, Basildon, Brentwood, Braintree, Harlow and surrounding areas. We tailor every job to the property, whether it’s a single dwelling or a multi-site business.

Our process

• Survey & identification – We trace entry routes (air bricks, pipe penetrations, loft voids, subfloors) and locate harbourage and food sources.

• Proofing & prevention – Seal gaps with rodent-proof materials (mesh, escutcheons, brush strips) and advise on storage and hygiene improvements.

• Targeted control – Professional trapping and, where appropriate, licensed baits or non-toxic monitoring aligned with IPM best practice.

• Follow-up & sign-off – Return visits to confirm clearance, remove controls, and leave you with a simple prevention plan.

Rats aren’t just an inconvenience—they spread disease, contaminate food, and can cause costly damage by gnawing wiring, pipes, and insulation. If you’re noticing droppings, smear marks along skirting, scratching in walls or lofts, or fresh gnawing around bins and pipe runs, act quickly to stop the problem escalating.

Essex Pest Solutions provides fast, discreet, and effective rat control for homes and businesses across Essex, including Chelmsford, Colchester, Southend, Basildon, Brentwood, Braintree, and nearby areas.

How we solve rat problems

• Full survey & identification – We trace ingress points (air bricks, gaps around services, rooflines) and map harbourage and food sources.

• Targeted control – Professional trapping and, where appropriate, stewardship-compliant rodenticides or non-toxic monitoring as part of an IPM plan.

• Proofing & prevention – Seal access with rodent-proof materials, fit drain rat blockers/one-way valves where needed, improve storage and waste routines, and advise on habitat reduction.

• Follow-up & sign-off – Scheduled revisits to confirm clearance, remove controls, and leave you with a simple prevention checklist.
