Pest control

The pest control service is provided for pests considered to be a risk to public health or food safety including rats, house mice, bed bugs, cockroaches, fleas and wasps.

For treatment at domestic premises there is a charge of £66 which covers up to 3 visits for rats and mice or disinfestations. For wasps the charge is £47 for a treatment.

A service may also be provided to control pests that may become a nuisance in houses such as insect pests (beetles, flies, etc), mammals or birds.

Advice can be given on a wide range of pest control matters and we also provide an insect identification service.

A service is also available for commercial premises as either a one-off treatment or on a contract basis. We are also able to provide quotes for proofing buildings against pigeons. Prices are available on request.

All pest control staff are qualified to Royal Society for the Promotion of Health standards.
