If you tell us that you are suffering from rats, mice, cockroaches or bedbugs we will respond quickly and certainly visit you within two working days once any required payment has been made. We also publish details of our latest customer satisfaction surveys.
If you are suffering from other pests such as ants or wasps or require an adice visit then we make a charge to cover our costs. We require payment before a visit is made. When payment is received we will endeavour to visit you within three working days, but often much sooner.
