BioWise Launches Building Maintenance Service to Tackle Rising Urban Pest Infestations

BioWise Launches Building Maintenance Service to Tackle Rising Urban Pest Infestations

London-based pest control company BioWise Services has launched a specialist building maintenance and proofing division to combat the structural causes behind rising rodent and insect infestations across the capital.

London, UK - BioWise Services, one of London's leading commercial pest control providers, has officially launched a new Building Maintenance & Proofing Service in response to the sharp rise in urban pest infestations linked to structural vulnerabilities in commercial properties.

As rodent sightings increase across London and glue traps face tighter regulation, businesses are being forced to rethink their pest control strategy. BioWise says the problem is no longer just about treatment — it's about prevention. The company believes this shift represents a fundamental change in how commercial pest management should be approached.

"Over the last two years, we've seen a clear pattern," said Ben from BioWise Services. "Rats and mice are not just appearing randomly. They're exploiting structural gaps, damaged brickwork, unsealed service entries and ageing infrastructure. If you don't fix the building, you don't fix the problem. That's why we've invested in building this capability in-house — so our clients get a complete solution, not just a treatment plan."

The new division focuses on identifying and permanently sealing entry points that allow rodents, cockroaches and other pests to enter commercial premises. Services include:

  • External proofing works
  • Drainage inspections and defect identification
  • Sealing service penetrations and structural gaps
  • Installation of rodent-proof mesh and barriers
  • Minor brickwork and structural repairs
  • Hygiene-focused maintenance support

Unlike traditional pest control contracts that rely primarily on baiting and monitoring, BioWise's integrated model combines ongoing pest management with hands-on building maintenance to reduce long-term infestation risk. This proactive approach is already delivering measurable results for existing clients, with many seeing a significant reduction in recurring callouts.

The move comes as London businesses — particularly restaurants, hotels, offices and facilities-managed sites — face increased scrutiny around compliance, environmental health standards and reputational risk. For businesses operating in food service and hospitality, the consequences of an infestation extend well beyond remediation costs.

"With urban density increasing and older buildings under pressure, reactive pest control alone isn't enough," the company added. "Preventative structural maintenance is now a core part of responsible facilities management."

BioWise Services operates across Central and Greater London, providing commercial pest control contracts, emergency callouts, compliance reporting and now structural pest-proofing solutions. The launch of the building maintenance division positions BioWise as one of the few providers in London offering both pest management and structural prevention under one roof.
