For small cafes, takeaways and straightforward business premises

Pest Intel

Your team does the routine pest checks.
Keep the evidence. Call a professional when needed.

A non-toxic monitoring kit, guided checks on a phone, and downloadable records. Take control of routine monitoring without paying for unnecessary all-clear visits.

£29 a month for an initial 12 months (£348 total), or £348 upfront. £0 setup. Kit and UK delivery included in both.

No existing pest-control contract required. No sales call or installation appointment needed.

Excerpt from a Pest Intel demonstration report: M1 to M6 and R1 to R2, separate locations and no signs found at each point
Monitoring-point findings from an app-generated report, using fictional demonstration data. Open the full PDF examples.

One kit. One repeatable routine. A record you can find.

01 / Set up once

Place and name eight stations

Use the supplied mouse points M1–M6 first, then rat points R1–R2. Give each code a short location, such as “M1 — dry store”. No QR scanning required.

Read the quick start

02 / Check when due

Follow the prompts on a phone

Record no signs found, or document a finding and follow the next-step guidance. Check timing adapts to recorded activity. Photos can help but are not required to record a finding.

Watch the staff workflow

03 / Keep the evidence

Retrieve the completed record

Keep point codes, locations, dates, findings and follow-up together. Share the report with a manager, inspector or pest professional when it is needed.

Included with either payment option

Your Small-site monitoring kit

Six mouse monitoring boxes and two rat monitoring boxes, non-toxic monitoring blocks, numbered labels, keys, a UV torch and quick-start guidance.

8 supplied routine stations. Capacity for up to 20 points in the app. The capacity is room for your site record to grow, not 20 boxes in the parcel.

Snap traps are optional response extras, supplied unset. Armed traps need daily checks; they are not part of the standard routine kit. Professional investigation and treatment are separate.

Mouse points first

M1 · M2 · M3 · M4 · M5 · M6

Rat points last

R1 · R2

Each code stays fixed. Edit its location separately when needed.

One Small-site plan. Two ways to pay.

Small-site ordering is open now. Start for £29 a month on an initial 12-month term, with no setup fee, or pay the same £348 first-year total upfront. The standard starter kit and UK delivery are included. Alvey Group Ltd is not VAT registered, so no VAT is added.

Monthly instalments: £29 today, then £29 a month for the initial 12-month term. Annual upfront: one £348 payment for the same first 12 months.

What happens after payment

Open the secure sign-in link emailed to you and confirm your site details. While we prepare the kit, work through the site review. Once it arrives, place the numbered stations and complete your first guided check.

Dispatch target: two working days. We aim to help you begin recording within ten working days. Delivery and your team's setup both affect the start date.

Built from pest-control experience

Pest Intel is provided by Alvey Group Ltd, the business behind J Alvey Pest Control, with pest-control roots dating to 1979.

Account and technical help are available by email. Your site team remains responsible for completing checks and acting on findings.

Know when to get expert help

Routine monitoring is not treatment. Bring in a competent pest professional where signs need investigation, treatment or specialist advice. Site-specific risks or audit requirements may also call for professional involvement.

Pest Intel supports your pest-monitoring records. It does not guarantee compliance, a food-hygiene rating or an inspection outcome.

Buying questions, answered properly

The commercial questions buyers usually ask before they commit.

Do we need a pest-control contract as well?

No. Pest Intel is designed so your staff can complete guided routine monitoring themselves rather than paying a contractor merely to record an all-clear. Bring in a competent pest professional when signs need expert investigation, treatment, or specialist advice.

Can we use Pest Intel with an existing contractor?

Yes. If you already use one, Pest Intel can strengthen the records between visits and give your provider clearer evidence when an issue needs attention. An existing contract is useful but not required.

Do you support EHO-style inspections and audit reviews?

Yes. Pest Intel is designed to create clearer records, evidence, corrective-action history, and follow-up visibility so sites can show stronger due diligence during inspections, audits, and internal reviews.

Does Pest Intel guarantee compliance or a food-hygiene rating?

No. Pest Intel supports the pest-monitoring and corrective-action part of your records. It does not replace your HACCP-based food-safety management system, Safer Food Better Business, professional pest control, or the judgment of your local authority, and it cannot guarantee an inspection outcome or FHRS rating.

How long do routine checks usually take?

That depends on the number of monitoring points and the condition of the site, but the aim is to make checks quick enough for normal site teams to keep them up to date without creating another admin burden.

What happens after payment?

Your account is provisioned and access details are emailed immediately. We dispatch the correctly sized starter monitoring kit to the UK delivery address entered at checkout, then the app guides your team through placing, naming, and checking each point.

What is included in setup?

The guided setup covers site configuration, monitoring-point names, the initial site review, and the first Pest Check. It is designed to be completed by the site team without a training call.

Do we need special equipment?

A standard Pest Intel starter monitoring kit is supplied so every site can follow the same safe, equipment-specific checks. It uses non-toxic monitoring bait and secure monitoring boxes. Mouse and rat snap-trap response modules are optional extras, supplied unset; no professional pesticide treatment is included.

What happens when monitoring bait runs low?

Each completed 12 months of continuing paid service includes a compact, plan-sized pack of replacement non-toxic monitoring blocks. Additional monitoring refills can also be ordered securely from the signed-in app as a one-off purchase.

What support is included?

Every plan includes the guided workflow, evidence capture, reports, reminders, and instant next-step guidance. Account and technical help are available by email. Pest treatment or specialist assessment remains with your pest-control contractor.

What happens when activity is found?

Pest Intel immediately marks the result as clear, review soon, or priority action and shows practical next steps. Where treatment or specialist assessment is needed, share the report with a competent pest professional.

How does pricing work?

A Small site can pay £29 a month for an initial 12-month term, starting with £29 today, or pay £348 upfront for the same 12 months. There is no setup fee: the first standard starter kit and UK delivery are included in either option. Continuing service includes a monitoring refresh pack after each completed 12 months. Medium and Large plans are not yet open for ordering. Optional response modules are clearly priced before checkout. No VAT is added.

Can we export our data?

Yes. Customer data remains the customer’s data, and access or portability requests are handled under the Privacy Policy.

Is there a minimum term?

Yes. Both payment options cover an initial 12-month service term. The monthly option spreads the same first-year price over 12 monthly instalments; it is not a one-month cancel-anytime plan. After the initial term, monthly billing continues monthly and annual billing renews annually unless cancelled before the next renewal.

What if we miss an inspection?

The aim is to make missed checks visible quickly so managers can act, reassign, or complete follow-up before the gap becomes a bigger risk.

Is the guidance a professional treatment instruction?

No. The guidance helps the site team record, isolate, recheck, clean, proof, or escalate appropriately. It does not replace a pest-control contractor where treatment or specialist assessment is required.

Who is this best suited to?

Pest Intel is currently best suited to straightforward inspection-sensitive sites that need clearer routine checks, evidence capture, and due-diligence records, especially food and hospitality environments.

Start online, ask by email if needed

Pest Intel is designed for self-serve onboarding. Review the tour and sample report, choose a plan, then follow the guided setup without needing a sales call.
