Q&A

I’m worried about anyone entering my home right now. Does the technician have to come inside? 

We understand that during this time of social distancing many people are conscious of being in close proximity of others.  Whilst we would prefer to complete both internal and external services at once for a complete service, we welcome our customers to let us know of their concerns.  In particular, if you or a member of the household is unwell or you have been exposed to anyone who is not well, Safeguard Pest Control would appreciate if you could notify us at your earliest convenience.

Our technicians are equipped with relevant Personal Protective Equipment which combined with keeping the recommended distance from persons can enable the internal service to be completed.  Alternatively, we can provide external pest treatments which may assist in alleviating your pest concerns.
