Risk-based, prevention-first programmes that reduce pesticide use while protecting your CRRU, COSHH & RAMS evidence trail.

Live compliance visibility through Insectram — reports, monitoring data, recommendations and audit documents in one secure portal.
Why Shield
Independent, accountable and built around the standards your business is audited against.
Established in 2002, working across food packaging, manufacturing, warehousing, hospitality, healthcare and education; including sites feeding major retail supply chains.
Every Shield technician is directly employed and DBS checked, holds the RSPH Level 2 qualification, completes CPD through BPCA and works to BPCA Codes of Best Practice.
Every visit produces a digital report covering pest activity, proofing recommendations, COSHH, RAMS and trend data — available 24/7 through Insectram.
We begin with a full pest risk assessment, then design a prevention-first programme that minimises chemical use and satisfies HACCP-based standards.
Active infestations do not wait for office hours. We respond 24 hours a day across Yorkshire and the North of England, with phone and WhatsApp answered around the clock.
As Think Wildlife signatories we follow the Campaign for Responsible Rodenticide Use Code, protecting non-target wildlife while keeping your site pest-free.
Sector Specialisms
Different sectors face different pest pressures and different standards. Shield’s contracts are designed sector by sector.
The highest pest control scrutiny of any UK sector. Documented, risk-assessed programmes that satisfy BRCGS Issue 9, HACCP and retailer specifications, with field biologist inspections included.
Large open volumes and constant goods movement create entry points faster than most sites close them. Perimeter rodent control, loading bay fly management, bird proofing and digital reporting.
Programmes designed around continuous production, complex machinery and strict zoning — minimising downtime while producing the evidence ISO 22000 and FSSC 22000 compliance requires.
Discreet, scheduled fly control, rodent prevention and bird proofing for hotels, restaurants, pubs and contract caterers, including LED fly killer upgrades that cut running costs.
Hospitals, surgeries, schools and universities need lowest-toxicity options and documentation ready for CQC, Ofsted and local authority inspection. £10m public liability throughout.
Low-visibility servicing outside trading hours, with bird proofing, rodent prevention and multi-site portal reporting for landlords and facilities managers.
Integrated Pest Management
Integrated Pest Management is the structured, risk-based approach to pest control now expected by every major UK food, retail and hospitality auditor. Rather than relying on routine pesticide application, it combines four steps.
Site survey and pest risk assessment identify entry points, harbourage and existing pressure.
Proofing, exclusion and environmental management remove the conditions pests need.
Devices, electronic fly killers and trend data show what is happening between visits.
Proportionate, CRRU-compliant intervention, only where the risk assessment justifies it.
BRCGS Issue 9, SALSA Issue 7, Red Tractor and HACCP-based standards expect documented IPM, not reactive pesticide application. Shield’s written risk assessments and Insectram trend reports are the evidence auditors look for.
Audit Compliance
A single non-conformance can suspend you from a supplier list. Shield specialises in the standards below and the retailer specifications layered on top of them.
The leading scheme for UK small food and drink producers, built around your scale.
Britain’s largest food and farm assurance scheme, for farms, packing and processing.
Rigorous global food safety auditing, with trend analysis and root cause documentation.
The international food safety management standard, with pest control inside your FSMS.
GFSI-recognised and retail-approved, with documentation to satisfies global supply chains.
We will review your pest control file against your audit standard, show you exactly where it falls short, and demonstrate how real-time AI pest management provides live data for a single site or across the whole group, so issues are spotted early and dealt with before they become compliance problems.
AI Pest Management
Site managers, QA leads and external auditors log in 24/7 to see outstanding actions and proofing recommendations, pest activity trending over time, inspection reports with COSHH data and RAMS, site plans and monitoring point maps, and a complete historical evidence trail for any audit window.

Multi-site Facilities
A Shield field biologist will survey your site, identify the pest pressures and compliance gaps specific to your operation, and set out a programme built around the standard you are audited against. No obligation.
A: Commercial pest control is a contracted programme of survey, prevention, monitoring and proportionate treatment that keeps a business free of rodents, insects and birds, and produces the documentary evidence its auditors require.
