If there are pets in the household they must be treated prior to or in conjunction with the Pest Control Officers treatment for the treatment to be effective.

Please Note: The concessionary charge will only apply if the customer is in receipt of their state pension or other means tested benefit.

These payments are to be paid in advance of the treatment.

Please note that we do not return to properties after the treatment to remove wasp nests. You may be advised that by leaving the nest this could stop any future nesting in the same place, the nest will not cause any damage or smell.

Churches / Churchyards, other places of worship and allotments - these premises are treated the same as domestic premises under this service.
