Check pest control charges

Charges apply for the pest control advisory visit and treatment at your home. For businesses and commercial properties we also offer advisory visits, one-off treatments and regular inspections at competitive rates, which are available on request.

What we charge

The charges below are for the different pest control services.

Rats or mice

£90 for advisory visit only. A further £90 for treatment if requested at the time of the advisory visit (a total of £180).

Treatment requested at a later date (after an advisory visit) will be charged at £180. This is in addition to the £90 paid for the advisory visit (a total of £270).

Treatment includes a maximum of 3 visits. If you require further treatment there will be an additional charge of £90 per visit.

You are entitled to a 50% discount on advice and treatment for rats only if you are on certain benefits.

During peak season:

Additional charges may apply outside of peak season. Variation in wasp seasons depends highly on weather and other factors and will be publicised at the time of the end of wasp season.
