Pest Control for Marine & Offshore

Port environments present complex pest management challenges. The constant movement of cargo, the proximity of warehousing to open water, and the international nature of maritime trade all create pest risks that require specialist management.

Rodent control is essential in port environments. Rats are historically associated with port areas, and the combination of cargo, warehousing, and food waste creates ideal conditions for large populations. Our port programmes include perimeter control, warehouse monitoring, and coordination with port authority requirements.

Vessel fumigation is carried out to international maritime standards, meeting ISPM 15 requirements for cargo treatment and port authority compliance. We provide fumigation for cargo holds, containers, and entire vessels where required.

Container treatment for import and export cargo ensures compliance with international phytosanitary requirements and protects against the introduction of exotic pest species.

Offshore platforms and installations face pest challenges primarily from rodents, cockroaches, and stored product pests introduced through supply shipments. The confined living and working conditions on offshore installations make pest management particularly important for crew welfare and operational efficiency.

All work on offshore installations complies with offshore safety regulations, and our technicians are appropriately qualified for offshore working.

Bird control in port areas addresses roosting pigeons on warehouse buildings, gulls around open cargo areas, and starling activity in port infrastructure. We provide proofing, deterrence, and management solutions appropriate to the port environment.

We provide marine and port pest management across the North East, including ports at Hartlepool, Teesport, Sunderland, and Tyneside.

Marine and offshore is part of our wider public and specialist pest control programme, which also covers airports, agriculture, and other specialist environments.

Marine and offshore facilities require comprehensive pest management documentation for port authority inspections, ISPM 15 compliance, and client audits. Our digital reporting system provides detailed records of all monitoring, treatments, and recommendations.

We provide COSHH risk assessments for all products used, monitoring device registers, treatment certificates, and periodic compliance summaries. All documentation is available digitally for integration with your facility management systems.
