Pest control for the Ryedale area

Pest control

All of our pest control team are fully qualified to take care of pests in your home or business. We provide one off treatments as well as ongoing contracts.

Treatments

Our pest control service will provide treatments for:

ants (only inside your property)
bedbugs
certain types of beetle, such as biscuit beetle or larder beetle (only inside your property)
cockroaches
fleas and mites
fly infestation (only inside your property)
certain types of moth
mice (only inside your property)
rats
grey squirrels
wasps (it is not always possible to treat a wasp nest if it’s in a difficult location e.g. a high roof or near to an electricity wire)

Some pest treatments will require more than one visit. Our treatment prices include the number of visits that need to be made to deal with the problem.

Bees

We do not provide a service for treating bees.

If you want some help to identify bees or need to have a swarm safely removed, please visit the British Beekeepers Association website. Check with the beekeeper if there are any expenses, such as travel costs, that they may expect you to pay before making any arrangements with them.

Fees and charges

Call-out fees

We may charge a £45 call-out charge if:

we find it’s not practical or safe to carry out the treatment once we arrive at your property or business
you are not in when we visit on the arranged date
there is no need to provide a treatment, e.g. the problem has been resolved
we are called out to deal with wasps and they are identified as bees

Pest control treatment charges

You will be sent an invoice after we have finished treatment. Please note that if insects need to be sent away for identification, there will be a £40 fee for this.
