## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "Excellent and efficient service from a small family business at a sensible price. We discovered a very active wasp nest, the wasps were entering our bungalow underneath a small distortion in the lead flashing around our boiler flue. I called Roo and she arranged an appointment for a visit to suit us which was very kind. Shane arrived the following day and fully explained what he would do to exterminate the wasps. After dealing with the nest from outside our home - he did not need to enter - the following morning there was zero activity from the nest. Thank you Shane and Roo ."

## Before you hire a pest control
_What to check when choosing this kind of trade (general guidance, not a claim about this business):_
- Make 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.
- 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.
