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." > Source: Robert (5.0, via TrustATrader) > "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." > Source: Kelly (5.0, via TrustATrader) > "Proactive pest control was my first port of call and reacted to my problem immediately explaining what was required and cost involved." > Source: Colin Craddock (5.0, via TrustATrader) ## Trades Pest control ## What we checked, and when _What MyTrustedTraders independently checked for this business (verified items only):_ - Review volume: MyTrustedTraders shows 8 public reviews on this profile.

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. - Pest control is otherwise unregulated, so look for a firm whose technicians are members of the British Pest Control Association (BPCA) or hold a recognised RSPH pest-control qualification. - Confirm they cover your area and can actually come out in your timeframe before anything else. ## Contact - Phone: 07383 029759 - Website: https://proactivepestcontrol.co.uk/ --- Source: MyTrustedTraders, https://mytrustedtraders.com/traders/proactive-pest-control Real public evidence only: every figure traces to a named source, with evidence held from 3 named public sources.
