Pest control
What do we treat for ?
We do treat for the following pests at the request of the occupier of domestic premises. Unfortunately we cannot treat similar pests on commercial premises at the present time.
- Rats (domestic) free of charge
- Bedbugs (domestic) free of charge
- Fleas , Cockroaches, Mice: there is a charge made for these treatments with the exception of those who claim income based benefits, or half price for those receiving state pensions, proof of which will need to be seen by our Pest Control Operator on his visit.
Pests not treated
We do not treat bees, bats, squirrels, wild cats, rabbits, foxes, moles, ants, wasps and other insect pests. We can however give advice. Please refer to the Simple Guide to Common Pests (34kb, PDF) for some general advice and contacts.
Length of treatment
A typical insect treatment (fleas and bedbugs) will require one visit/treatment to eradicate the pest but cockroaches may require three or more visits. Typical rodent treatments require three visits to eradicate the problem but occasionally more will be required.
Some premises unfortunately have repeated infestations whether rodent or insect. If a period of a month has elapsed between a treatment being completed and contact by the occupier regarding an infestation then the contact is considered a new request for service and if it is a chargeable service then a fresh charge will be made.
Requests for service
Requests are then to our pest control team who then contact customers to make arrangements for a visit. A response will normally be made within 3 working days.
