  • Visual inspection for bed bugs

    10Verified Review

    My brother needed a check for bed bugs so I called Steve on 14th May and agreed he would visit to inspect on 15th. However, I needed to rearrange and asked if he could possibly fit the check in that afternoon. He said he could rearrange a couple of things to accommodate my request which was great and what was really great was that he didn’t find evidence of any bed bugs! Steve was very polite and professional, his customer service was excellent, I highly recommend Thames Valley Pest Control.

  • Rat capture

    10Verified Review

    Steve helped with an unwelcome guest visiting our kitchen; setting traps to catch it and identifying how it was likely getting in. He also visited the neighbours to check for entry routes and followed up to check no more problems. Very happy with service.

  • Removed squirrel nest in loft

    10Verified Review

    Steve removed a nest of squirrels from the loft. He answered his phone right away when I made the initial call, was polite, talked me through his service, told me the cost and arranged to come out promptly. He fitted in with my availability and arrived when he said he would each time. Steve was knowledgeable about what he was doing and tidy, always wearing shoe coverings. On completion he charged me exactly what he quoted. I would certainly call Steve if I needed pest control again.

  • Faced with a horrible problem with rats, we needed expert help fast.

    10Verified Review

    Steve diligently set about solving our problem, putting his experience and knowledge to work. He is not the sort of person to be satisfied with a superficial fix: he was determined to find out how and where the rats were gaining access - and he succeeded! We now have a long-term solution, thanks to Steve. Not only is he brilliant at his job, he’s a really friendly, professional and trustworthy person. We recommend him completely.

  • Eradicate rats in loft

    10Verified Review

    I spent the best part of six years and thousands of pounds trying to eradicate rats in the loft of my house. I tried many different pest control companies, none of whom were able to solve the issue long-term. Steve at Thames Valley Pest Control identified the entry point correctly, which all the others had failed to do and now, finally, my loft is rat-free. (I’ve waited several weeks to post this just to be sure.) Don’t be a fool like me. Just use Steve!

  • Rodent Issue

    10Verified Review

    I can't recommend Thames Valley Pest Control highly enough! Steve was trustworthy, knowledgeable and thorough and we had every confidence that he would help to solve the rodent problem for us, which he did. Steve successfully located the access point for the rodents (where another pest control company had failed to) which led us on a path to getting our drain repaired so that the rodents could no longer get in. Thank you Steve!
