What happens after I have made a request?

Our pest control contractor will contact you, usually within 48 hours, to arrange an appointment, inspect the property and apply safe and effective treatments. If for any reason the problem persists, they will return and make every effort to ensure the pest is eradicated. You will be advised of any special precautions you should take before any treatment is applied.

When can I expect treatment to take place?

We aim to start treatment within twenty-four hours, or by noon of the next working day, when the request is made on a Friday.

Will there be more than one visit by the pest control contactor?

When dealing with any treatment for mice and rats, the pest control contractor will carry out adequate follow up visits and rebait after the initial placing of pesticides until the infestation is cleared. The infestation will be taken to be cleared if, after three weeks from completion of treatment, no further rodent activity is reported.

Treatment of insect pests, apart from wasps, includes at least one subsequent visit to ensure treatment has been successful and that the infestation has been eradicated.

Our duty to control pests

We have a statutory duty to control vermin within the district under the 1949 Prevention of Damage by Pest Act.

Don't ignore a rodent problem as they will quickly multiply.
