Why this helps you judge trust: this trader is linked to a registered company with named people who are legally accountable for it, on an official register anyone can check, a layer of accountability an unregistered trader doesn't offer. Around 10 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.

Ernest is fantastic gets the job done no hassle and very helpful would highly recommend this company
Ernest did a wonderful job getting a rat issue in our home under control. I can’t tell you how upset we were to find out there were rats in our beautiful new extension. Ernest came out swiftly and put an action plan in place. He explained clearly the various steps we needed to take and we followed them to the letter. We are now rat free. We can’t thank him enough for his work and professionalism.
Contacted this Company about a problem with wasps. They came out quickly, arrived on time after messaging to say they were on their way. They quickly established that there was a nest in the roof. Resolved the problem with great efficiency and gave good advice. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend them, excellent service at a very reasonable cost.

Pest control isn't licensed in the UK, so anyone can set up - yet treatments use regulated pesticides inside your home. British Pest Control Association members are trained, qualified, insured and follow a strict code of practice. Check they're a member before you let them treat your home; it's free.
Check the BPCA registerMake sure they identify the pest and find where it is getting in FIRST. A reputable firm explains the problem and the plan and proofs the entry points, not just sprays and leaves.
Be wary of contracts that lock you into repeat visits you may not need; ask whether a one-off treatment with a guarantee would solve it before signing up to an ongoing plan.
Check they use approved, safe methods and carry insurance. It matters around children, pets, and anywhere food is prepared.
