“On Saturday evening I found a wasps nest in my garden with lots of very large wasps flying around it. I used the Checkatrade website to get some quotes and by early next morning I’d received three responses. Platoon Pest Control stood out as it offered a removal and relocation service - the other companies specified removal and destruction. I’ve since found out that Platoon is the only company in the UK that relocates wasps nests. This was a big plus - but also, Platoon gave the most competitive quote - and Terry was here the very next morning to sort the nest out. Awesome service!”

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.
