Pestforce poisoned off a wasp nest for us. It was concealed within our porch behind the fascia. It worked immediately. All wasp activity ceased. We since removed the nest during some home improvement work, it was huge! Pestforce were very easy to deal with, the turn around time from my initial contact to job was very fast. I would definitely recommend them and would use pestforce again. Thanks!

We discovered a wasps nest shortly before work was due to begin on the outside of the house. Tim was his usual efficient self, and arranged for Adam to come and visit a couple of days later. Adam successfully treated the nest in a friendly and professional manner. Many thanks - thoroughly recommended.

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.
