Check pest control charges

Charges apply for pest control 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. We do not provide treatment for birds or moles.

Rats or mice

Treatment will be charged at £220.

Treatment includes a maximum of 3 visits. If further treatment is required, you will be advised that there will be an additional charge of £100 per visit.

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

During peak season:

• £132 for advisory visit and treatment of one nest (we do not offer an advisory visit only)

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.
