10 Wasp Nest Removal
Posted 29 May
Removal of a hornets nest from behind a fascia board
Cannot recommend this company enough. Competitive quote provided within minutes, Rob arrived to do the work only a couple of hours later. He explained what he was doing clearly and potential issues. The nest was dealt with very quickly. Rob then also went way above expectations by helping me move bags of soil by using his van, which was completely unexpected and greatly recieved on a 30c day. I’ll be using them for all pest control work in the future.Verified reviewerJob location: CM12RElliot L10 Emergency Pest / Vermin Control Service

Issue with mice and birds
We contacted the company at the end of last year about a noise in the loft. Rob arrived and straight away put us at ease about the situation. He managed to catch the mouse and advised we had an issue with birds too which we weren’t aware of. He was really helpful in filling holes that he found to stop the issue going forwards. Rob is very friendly and punctual he is always happy to answer any questions. Unfortunately we recently found droppings indoors and I messaged Alison and Rob was able to fit us in to set up traps straight away which we were so grateful for. We would definitely recommend.Verified reviewerJob location: SS7RCharlotte J10 Pest / Vermin Control

Fitting hidden mesh around decking to stop rats getting underneath.
Excellent communication from Rob and Alison. The job was completed quickly and Rob left the area so neat we couldn’t even tell he had been! Super-friendly and helpful. I would recommend this company and would absolutely use them again. Very reasonably priced and a great job!Verified reviewerJob location: CO4RLinda K10 Bird Restriction Measures
