Pest Control for Estate Agents & Property Managers: A Partnership Approach with On Time Pest Control
Why Pest Control is Essential for Estate Agents and Property Managers
In the high-stakes world of property management, reputation and tenant satisfaction are paramount.
Pest infestations can damage properties, reduce their value, and drive away tenants. Estate agents and property managers are responsible for ensuring the homes and buildings under their care remain in pristine condition.
An effective pest control strategy is no longer optional, it’s a non-negotiable aspect of responsible property management.
At On Time Pest Control, we offer a strategic partnership for estate agents and property managers across the UK.
We understand the complexities of your industry, and we tailor our pest control solutions to ensure your properties remain pest-free, compliant, and attractive to both tenants and buyers.
Comprehensive Pest Control Services for Letting Agents and Landlords Our services cover a full spectrum of pest-related issues, from emergency treatments to long-term prevention plans.
We deal with:
Rodents – including rats and mice, often found in basements, walls, and roof voids.
Insects – including cockroaches, ants, fleas, and bed bugs.
Wasps and bees – with safe, efficient nest removal services.
Bird control – managing pigeons and seagulls with humane deterrents.
Stored product insects and textile pests – essential for maintaining hygiene and fabric integrity in furnished properties.
We offer both one-off treatments and ongoing maintenance contracts, making it easy for estate agents and property managers to select the level of support they need.
Why Partner with On Time Pest Control
Rapid Response and Emergency Services
Time is critical when dealing with infestations. Delays can result in escalating damage and unhappy tenants.
At On Time Pest Control, we pride ourselves on prompt, same-day service in most cases. Our technicians are fully equipped and ready to handle pest issues efficiently and discreetly.
Tailored Maintenance Plans for Property Portfolios
We work with estate agents and property managers to create custom pest control programs that align with their portfolio size and risk profile.
Whether you manage residential blocks, commercial units, or mixed-use developments, we develop a plan that covers:
- Regular inspections
- Preventive treatments
- Detailed reporting for compliance and audits
- 24/7 emergency call-out options
This proactive approach reduces the risk of infestations, helping you avoid costly damage, regulatory breaches, and reputational harm.
Discreet and Professional Service
We understand the importance of discretion, especially in high-end or tenanted properties.
Our technicians arrive in unmarked vehicles and work quickly and quietly to minimise disruption. We also offer key holding services, allowing us to service properties without disturbing tenants or interrupting lettings schedules.
Our team of BPCA-certified experts use cutting-edge techniques and eco-conscious methods to ensure a safe and effective pest control experience for your tenants, clients, and staff.
Regulatory Compliance and Health & Safety Letting agents and property managers must comply with a wide range of legal obligations concerning tenant safety, hygiene standards, and property condition.
Pest infestations can lead to violations of:
- The Housing Act 2004
- The Homes (Fitness for Human Habitation) Act 2018
- The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974
Failing to address infestations promptly could expose you to legal risks, tenant claims, and damage to your professional reputation. With On Time Pest Control, you can trust that your properties are managed in line with UK legislation.
We provide detailed inspection reports, evidence for insurance claims, and documentation for audits and regulatory checks.
Support for Tenant Communication and Education
We don't just eliminate pests, we help educate your tenants on how to prevent infestations in the first place.
Our team provides:
- Printable tenant-friendly guides
- On-site briefings for new occupants
- Advice on food storage, sanitation, and pest-proofing techniques
This collaborative approach creates a stronger sense of community responsibility, reducing the likelihood of recurring issues.
Eco-Friendly and Humane Pest Control
Modern property management demands eco-conscious practices.
Our pest control methods are designed to minimise environmental impact without compromising effectiveness.
We use:
Non-toxic baits and traps
Heat treatments for bed bugs
Live capture for humane rodent removal
Electronic bird deterrent systems
This commitment to sustainability aligns with the ethical and environmental goals of many property management firms and housing associations.
Transparent Pricing and No Hidden Costs
We offer clear, upfront pricing with no hidden fees.
Whether you need a one-time service or a long-term contract, our quotes are honest and fully itemised.
Bulk contracts for large portfolios can be negotiated at competitive rates, and we offer flexible invoicing options tailored to your business needs.
