Reactive Pest Control

Your friendly neighbourhood pest control expert is ready to keep your property safe from unwanted creatures, no matter what type of property you have. Reactive pest control responds to pest issues as and when they occur. It may be your first time experiencing a pest problem, or a regular pest that keeps coming back, either way, lets use my knowledge and experience to get the issue resolved. Where practically possible, emphasis is placed on prevention, over pesticides.
Proactive Pest Control

Vertaproof offer ongoing pest control services to a wide range of clients. Pest control services are carried out on behalf of business owners, property management companies, estate agents, landlords and so much more. If you require ongoing pest control for your properties, get in touch for advice and support.
Property Surveys

My services are based around enhancing your property with a focus on preventative pest management, not necessarily having to rely on pesticides. Assessments are carried out to determine the pest type, the extent of the infestation, and pinpoint where the activity is occurring, using my expertise for a thorough evaluation. In cases of suspected drain issues, I also offer CCTV drain surveys to identify any faults beneath your property.
Property Improvements

If there are vulnerabilities at your property, I can implement practical improvements that will offer long term protection from pests. With the tools and equipment at my disposal, I can perform a variety of enhancements to prevent pest ingress, minimising the need to consult another trader unless absolutely necessary.
Treatments

When pest issues arise, swift and effective treatment is essential. I offer a variety of methods and products tailored to tackle any problem effectively from the first visit. This can include the use of traps, rodenticide or insecticides.
Bird Prevention

Prevention and proofing methods can be installed in most places where birds can cause a nuisance. The most common request is for bird prevention to stop pigeons getting under the solar panels.

ABOUT
In this section you'll can get a snapshot of what I'm all about and it'll hopefully give you the confidence, that you've come to the right place.
Over the course of my working career, I've been fortunate enough to work in varied positions in different sectors. At the early stages of my career, I started out in landscaping and DIY as part of a small business. I then moved into project management / business systems / compliance / H&S, within the housing sector.
In 2016, I then moved into a small reputable pest control business in Chichester, where I started my training and gained a wealth of knowledge and inspiration, to become a competent and qualified professional. I was able to experience first hand all the different types of pests and how to most effectively deal with them.
In 2020, I launched Vertaproof to create my own stamp on what I think pest control should be. I am passionate about the service I deliver to my clients and my reputation continues to grow as a competent and dedicated professional. I built my business on integrity, transparency and trust. Delivering a service in a way that is respectful and empathetic to client needs.

WHAT CLIENTS SAY
I have contacted Jonathan on a few occasions regarding pests in my home. He is extremely professional and always finds the cause of the problem. He found a hole in my house and even went to buy materials to fill the hole then and there for me. He always follows up his work a few days later to check the issue is resolved or if any further support is needed. And he was happy to answer my many questions I had! I was very surprised when receiving my invoice as it was very reasonably priced for the amount of time he spent sorting treatment and filling holes for me! I can not thank him enough!
Would highly recommend Jonathan for any pest control support you need. My parents used him a few years ago at their house and he helped them tackle their issue very quickly as well as easing everyone’s anxieties around the problem. We have now used him in our house and he has been extremely helpful at helping us be rodent free. He’s extremely knowledgeable, has time and loads of Patience! I have a Phobia of mice and rats and he’s really eased my anxiety around this! Any pest control problems he’s your guy!!! Thanks again for all your help, will recommend to anyone needing some help! He is also so so reasonably priced and so far with it!!
I have used Vertaproof both privately at my residential address and commercially through my business on numerous occasions. In my 25 years working in the housing sector in Guildford, Oxford, London and for the last 11 years in Hampshire I have never dealt with a more professional or knowledgeable pest control contractor and can not recommend Jonathan enough, nor would I use another contractor personally or for my clients.

Can't recommend highly enough. Jonathan is quick and reliable, extremely knowledgeable and most importantly really cares about the job he does and the service he provides. What's more, on this occasion, he even charged less than he quoted. This is the second time I've used Vertaproof and I won't be going anywhere else.

Excellent service by Jonathan and Richard . Very professional and thoughtful and kept us fully informed throughout a very complicated and difficult retrieval and removal of a large feral bee colony that had grown out of control. Bees safely evacuated to Sussex. Highly recommend and will use again for future pests .

We had pigeons nesting under our solar panels. Jonathan was fantastic at giving us the different options for netting/spikes with photos and prices from the outset. He also re-set the mortar on our chimney and installed spikes and a cowl. Very polite and easy to talk to. Extremely tidy and even disinfected our patio and furniture when the job was finished. 100% recommend.
