Pest control in St Albans & across HertfordshireFind it. Treat it. Keep it out.

Our treatments start from £90, and the inspection that comes first is free. The final figure depends on the pest, how established it is, the size of the property, how many visits it takes and whether entry points need proofing. You get a written quote before any work starts, so the price never changes halfway through.

It depends on your council. Across the UK they range from no service at all, to treating only residents on benefits, to paid services, to free treatment for some pests. Each of our town pages says what that council offers and charges, with a link to the council's own page. Anyone who wants proofing, a guarantee or a same-day visit uses a private firm.

Yes, when it is planned around them. We tell you before we start which rooms to keep children and animals out of and for how long, place rodent baits in locked tamper-resistant boxes or out of reach, and use non-chemical methods — proofing, trapping or steam — wherever they will do the job.

Usually the same day, depending on the season — late summer wasp nests fill the diary fastest. If a pest is causing an emergency (a nest by a doorway, rats inside a food business, a bed bug outbreak before guests arrive), call the 24/7 line on 07361 511775.

Every treatment carries a guarantee of at least three months. If the same pest comes back in the treated area inside that period, we come back and treat again at no charge. The written job record we leave tells you exactly what the guarantee covers for your treatment.

Usually the landlord, if the problem comes from the building — gaps, drains, disrepair or an infestation already there when the tenancy started. Tenants tend to be responsible where the problem is caused by how the home is used, such as fleas from their own pets. Check the tenancy agreement; we can document the cause so the conversation is based on evidence.

Yes. We treat restaurants, shops, offices, letting agents' properties and managed blocks, either as a one-off or with regular inspection visits, and leave written records you can show a food hygiene inspector.
