What Services Are Offered?

The Pest Control Team can provide a full range of services tailored to your individual needs. These include:

• One-off treatments
• Annual contracts
• Free quotations
• Written reports
• Proofing works
• Electronic fly control
• Insect identification
• Drain testing

What Pest Species Are Treated?

All common public health pest species can be treated. These include rats, mice, crawling insect pests such as cockroaches, and flying insects such as wasps.

What Does It Cost?

The price for all one-off treatments is given in the table below. However, it is often better value to take out an annual contract where a much more comprehensive service can be offered, usually at only a modestly increased cost. As all premises are different, and as the needs of our community differ, the price of any contract must be assessed individually. This assessment is provided free of charge as part of our free survey and estimate service.

Concessions

No concessions are offered for commercial treatment.
