## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "Jonty got rid of our flea problem once and for all. After trying multiple recommended treatments for our two dogs and the house,, we finally sought professional help and it was worth every penny. Wish we’d booked him sooner and saved the money spent at the vets and pet shops! He was very thorough and quickly solved our very stressful issue. Highly recommend."

> "Had jonty round as we saw a Mouse, did 2 visits,found entry points proofed them and placed traps and boxes, caught a couple in traps, no more evidence of them in house. Very happy with service would definitely recommend 5 well earned stars!"
> Source: Anonymous (5.0, via Checkatrade)

> "We were very impressed with the service and standard of care shown by Taking the Pest. We had an infestation of rodents in our loft. Access to the loft in a very old cottage is extremely difficult but Jonty took it all in his stride and within a week the problem had been resolved. The after care service has been exemplary and we would highly recommend this organisation for any pest control issues."

## 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.
