Pest Control Services For Boats & Yachts

Ship after ship sails from port to port every day, with the hustle and bustle of this constant activity providing a habitat for troublesome critters to thrive (microscopic or otherwise).

There are many unwanted guests you can find onboard boats and yachts, including rodents, cockroaches, bedbugs, mosquitoes, and fleas. So with ships making quick stops for resupply and servicing, it is imperative to identify any pest early on and act quickly to prevent a small problem becoming an expensive one.

Monitoring your vessel closely is the secret to keeping it pest free. We have expert technicians to help keep your boats and yachts free from these annoying invaders.

Cockroaches, for example, can often hitch a ride on deliveries and supplies that are brought on board. They thrive in the warm, humid conditions of kitchens and can reproduce rapidly if not addressed.

There are also wood-destroying pests such as termites or powder post beetles that can give boat owners a genuine headache. If you do not address it, termites can make considerable devastation to your boat.

Not only is taking action when-needed critical for your boat’s integrity, it’s critical for the health of everyone on board as some pests can carry serious diseases.

Pest Awareness on Ships

Dealing with pests on your vessel can worry passengers and crew as these critters can disturb the ecosystem and potentially harm all aboard.

Cockroaches

These little fellows are certainly not fit on your yacht! They can spread diseases like salmonella and gastroenteritis illnesses, and they can be particularly danger for children, older adults and people with health problems. Cockroaches breed rapidly and as a result can develop unpleasant smell, so if you see them, you need to make sure to act quickly.

Rats

Make sure those pesky rats and mice are gone! They reproduce quickly, so if you notice any signs of them on your boat, it’s advisable to take prompt action. They can be not only a health risk but also a threat to your boat’s wiring and structure.

Fleas

Can you imagine in the middle of ocean with flea bites? Fleas carry diseases, so do your best to avoid fleas.

Mosquitoes

Mosquitos are responsible for spreading diseases, including malaria and dengue fever. They might also endanger your passengers and communities when your boat arrives in new places.

Termite Inspections

Timber pests can sometimes be difficult to find creatures and can hide without providing visible signs. Which is why we advise people to use specially trained termite-sniffer dogs and thermal cameras for inspections.

Early Detection is Key

Finding pests and monitoring them from the start is essential to keeping your ship free of pests. If you see any pests, you need to act fast.

Effective Treatments

We provide rapid, responsive and effective treatments because servicing your vessel on time is of extreme importance. Pest control measures can be conducted as food, supplies, or passengers are being loaded onto your vessel.

We also offer Integrated Pest Management that helps the boat while being sensitive to people, livestock, food, and other sensitive cargo.

Ongoing treatment programs may also be needed to keep it pest-free. We can install monitors such as glue boards or bedbug monitors to monitor pest activity.

We can all do our part to help ensure your boat remains a safe and enjoyable space for those on board.
