They came quickly and sorted out our problem into visits would definitely recommend this company
When I contacted Paul he asked me lots of questions about the problem so he knew what to expect when coming to deal with the issue. When he arrived he again explained the process he was very thorough, professional but also friendly and courteous. He quickly found the source of the problem, sealed up the hole and arranged a time to call me back to make sure the problem was solved. I strongly recommend this company for their professionalism, punctuality, quality and who have done a good job at a fair price.
Before Paul came to my home, he made sure that he got all the information he needed in order to carry out the job, he was very informative and clear in the process and what to expect, once here, he again explained what he will be doing, he did a thorough job, explained that he will be doing a second visit to make sure the rodents were gone. Worth every penny, lovely and impressionable guy

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.
