Museums, Galleries and Heritage Buildings

Museums, galleries and heritage buildings require particular care when dealing with pest activity. Collections may include textiles, books, artwork, furniture, timber and other materials that can be damaged by insects or rodents.

Historic buildings can also contain roof voids, old timber, storage rooms, basements and structural gaps that provide suitable shelter for pests.

At Complete Pest Control, we provide professional pest control solutions for museums, galleries, heritage centres and historic buildings.

For Complete Peace of Mind, it has to be Complete Pest Control

Pest activity can be particularly damaging where valuable or irreplaceable items are stored or displayed.

Moths and textile beetles can affect fabrics, wood boring insects can damage suitable timber, and rodents may gnaw materials or use softer items for nesting.

Early identification is important because some pest activity can remain hidden in storage areas, collections or quieter parts of a building.

Our highly trained and licensed technicians will ensure that:

Collections and building areas are checked for pest activity

Likely sources and affected areas are identified

Existing infestations are treated with appropriate care

Ongoing recommendations help reduce future pest risks

All our services are carried out by fully qualified and highly trained technicians who understand the importance and sensitivity of the task. Call us today and find out how we can protect your museum, gallery or heritage building from pest infestations.
