Locations
Shield works from Selby across Yorkshire, the Humber, Teesside and the North West. Each town page covers the industry there, the pests that come with it and the audit standards those sites work to.
At a Glance
Shield is an independent commercial pest control company based in Selby, North Yorkshire, established in 2002. We service food manufacturing, warehousing and distribution, factories, hospitality, healthcare, education, retail, offices and facilities across Yorkshire, the Humber, Teesside, South Yorkshire and Greater Manchester. Coverage is built around directly employed, BPCA-registered technicians rather than subcontracted labour, so the same people know your site, and multi-site groups get one contractor, one programme and one set of records.
Towns we cover

How We Cover It
Coverage is not a map on a website. It is who attends, how quickly, and whether the records stand up when your auditor asks.
Five directly employed, DBS checked technicians, all RSPH Level 2 qualified and BPCA registered, with no subcontracted labour turning up at your site.
Each area brings its own pest pressure, from dockside rodents to farmland field mice. It goes into the site risk assessment rather than a generic template.
Multi-site groups get one specification, one set of documentation and consolidated reporting across every location, however far apart the sites are.
Active infestations do not wait for office hours. We respond 24 hours a day across the region, with phone and WhatsApp answered around the clock.
The same documented programme applies at every location: site risk assessment, mapped monitoring, trend analysis and closed-out corrective actions.
Sites outside the towns listed below are covered case by case. If you run premises elsewhere across the North of England, tell us where they are.
AI Pest Management
Insectram holds the contract, signed site plan, numbered device list, visit reports, sightings, trend analysis, open and closed recommendations, product data sheets and COSHH assessments in one place, updated as each Shield visit is completed.
Management see real-time data for a single site and consolidated across every site they run, so a missing report or an open action is caught early rather than found at audit. Auditors can be given direct access for the audit period.
A: Shield is based in Selby and covers Yorkshire, the Humber, Teesside, South Yorkshire and Greater Manchester, with sites elsewhere in the North of England taken case by case. Each town listed on this page has its own page setting out the local industry, the pests that come with it and the standards those sites work to.
A: Pricing is based on the site, its risk assessment and the visit frequency that assessment justifies, not on a postcode surcharge. Where travel affects the price we say so at survey stage rather than after the first invoice.
A: Yes. Multi-site groups get one specification, one set of documentation and consolidated reporting across every location, so your QA team sees each site on its own and all of them together.
A: Very likely. The towns on this page are where we do the most work, not the limit of our coverage. Tell us where your premises are and we will confirm what we can cover before you commit to anything.
