Will the council do it?

Many councils treat rats, mice, wasps and bed bugs for a fixed fee, a few for free. Others have stopped. Pick your council to see what it treats, what it charges and how to book.

How this site works

We list pest control firms that are based in each town, with the facts that matter: what they treat, whether they take commercial work, and whether they belong to a trade association such as the BPCA or NPTA. Listing is free for every firm. Firms can pay for a few extra tools, but paying never moves a firm up a list.

Town listings are being added area by area. Until your town is live, the pest guides, costs and council fees here will tell you what to ask and what to pay.
