Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

Highlights
“I asked Proactive Pest control to survey two properties for bed bugs after I found a very large pest control company very poor and who carried out treatment that that was unnecessary. Paul and James kept me informed as to their arrival. They were very friendly, thorough and incredibly efficient in their inspection. Beds were stripped, bedding examined and the beds were taken apart to examine the bases and the mattresses, every drawer and cupboard was opened and examined for any signs of infestation. Luckily nothing was found and while they would have arranged treatment for our peace of mind their recommendation was to have nothing done so if they do find something you can rely on there really being a problem. We would have no hesitation in calling them in again if we ever had any kind of pest problem. They are the best type of family business with owners and employees all have attended school together and are totally committed to doing a great job. Thoroughly recommended.”
“After moving into our house in May, we soon realised we had a serious rat problem in the loft, ceilings and walls. Paul investigated thoroughly and quickly established that the house had been infested for many years. Paul and his team did everything possible to ensure the rats were completely eradicated, explaining that it would be a process of elimination rather than a quick fix. Throughout the seven months, their service was outstanding with constant communication, regular visits, and a clear commitment to getting the job done properly. Paul and his team were professional, knowledgeable, and reassuring from start to finish. We always felt informed and supported, and most importantly, the problem has now been resolved. We would highly recommend them to anyone dealing with a pest issue.”
“Proactive pest control was my first port of call and reacted to my problem immediately explaining what was required and cost involved.”
Detailed reviews
The team at Proactive Pest Control Ltd were extremely professional, punctual, polite and very respectful of my home. They responded to my call for help immediately and Paul was so understanding and empathetic. He immediately put my mind at ease and informed me that he and his team would take care of the pest issue in my home and true to their word they did. I can now relax in my home again and the stress and anxiety I was experiencing has gone and that's all down to Paul, Craig and the team at Proactive Pest Control Ltd. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
The team were tidy, clean, and incredibly polite. Nothing was too much trouble for them. They were courteous, understanding, and clear about the work they planned to do. They even helped move furniture and made sure I was fully informed throughout. They have continued to check in to ensure no further issues have come up. I would highly recommend them; their service was excellent.
Paul and his team are honestly incredible! Great, professional and friendly. They tackled a huge rat infestation within our property, they really took care of the situation! Thankyou all x

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.
