10 Pest / Vermin Control
Posted 2 days ago
Squirrels in my attic
After nights of disturbed sleep due to squirrels breaking into my attic, I called Paul who came round the same day. Straight away, I was impressed by his professionalism and nice manner. With the entrance blocked in, there was still squirrel activity. He set traps, and came round the next day after a trap had gone off to reset them. When there was no more activity, he waited a week before removing the traps, and he also repaired the damage they had done to the attic’s lighting wiring by chewing.Verified reviewerJob location: SE610 Wasp Nest Removal

We had a few mice in our house with droppings found throughout.
Paul was extremely responsive with all the information we needed to go ahead with our booking. Paul was professional and easy to communicate with. He arrived with everything he needed, checked the house and laid traps. Answered the phone late Friday when we needed his advice. All round excellent service. Thank you Paul!Verified reviewerJob location: SW1210 Emergency Pest / Vermin Control Service

Quick and Professional Pest Control
Paul provided an excellent service when I had a mice problem at home. He was friendly, professional, and clearly very knowledgeable. He quickly identified where the mice were getting in, explained everything clearly, and put effective measures in place. The problem was sorted quickly and everything was left clean and tidy. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.Job location: DA810 Pest / Vermin Control

Rodent Problem - Highly Recommend
Paul was fantastic at sorting out a rat issue that was in my kitchen back in November 2025. Responded to my job immediately and was round the next day. Really friendly and helpful. I have since had him back again to deal with a rat issue under my stairs and again responded straight away given it was a weekend and was round the next day to sort. Highly recommend.Job location: DA7
