Wasps Bees are not a public health pest and should normally be left alone. If you are troubled by swarming honey bees we may be able to put you in touch with a local bee keeper. |
£74.63 for a single nest and £24.15 for each additional nest treated at the same visit. If your “wasps” turn out to be “bees” we will not treat them but you may still be charged a call-out fee *Customers on benefits |

Most fleas in the home are associated with dogs or cats but they will feed on a wide range of warm blooded hosts including us. For every flea seen around the home, there are many more in various stages of development and an over the counter flea spray will not necessarily treat each of these stages. Our pest control officers will carryout a thorough inspection to identify the source and severity of the infestation and treat the effected areas with a residual insecticide. You must also treat the host animal(s) with a suitable veterinary approved product. |
£92.93 per treatment *Customers on benefits |

Cockroaches are a surprisingly common household pest. Cockroaches often visit drains and sewers and will eat anything that has nutritional value, including excrement, the remains of dead animals and refuse so they readily transmit bacterial diseases. Some people may also be allergic to cockroaches. They are extremely secretive and quite severe infestations often go unnoticed for a long time. Cockroaches are notoriously difficult to eradicate as the insects are very good at hiding in cracks and crevices and reproduce at an incredible rate. Professional treatment is the only way to eradicate an established cockroach problem |
£36.75 for a survey. We will complete a survey of your property and provide a quote (if you book a treatment, the survey fee will be deducted from your bill). |

Bed bugs are a parasitic insect that feed on warm blooded animals including humans. They often live in and around the bed and feed at night when you are sleeping. The main signs of an infestation are the red marks on skin from their bites and blackish spots on bed linen from their droppings. Bed bugs can be difficult to treat and we can only get rid of them if you play your part. |

Cluster Flies usually look for a warm place to hibernate throughout the winter months and homes in rural areas are usually more susceptible to infestation. From September onwards they cluster within roof spaces, window frames and sashes or any other spaces they find suitable. These flies are harmless, and do not carry any diseases that affect humans. Note: We will need a safe means of access to the loft space. The treatment will only kill the flies that are present at the time and will not prevent the loft space becoming re-infested in future. For more extensive infestations an initial survey will be carried out and a quote offered at the time of the appointment. |
