Between Batley and Cleckheaton, Birstall has older stone housing and later estates. If something is scratching, nesting or biting, we can find out what and deal with it.
People usually ring when something has changed: a noise in the ceiling, a line of ants across the worktop, a wasp nest forming above the door. In Birstall's older stone homes, the cause is often a gap that has been there for years, and a pest has only recently found it. The fix is about finding that gap, not simply reacting to the symptom.
Later estates have a more uniform build, with similar loft spaces and similar gardens, so problems tend to repeat along a street. If a neighbour has had rats, check your own sheds and bins. When we visit, we look at both the inside and outside of the property, and we write down what we found so you know what the plan is.
Do not disturb nests or block holes. Note where you heard or saw the pest and when. Keep children and pets away from any areas where bait may be placed, and tell us about any allergies at the start. Take photos of droppings or damage if you can.
Usually, yes. Small problems are quicker to treat, and rodents breed fast. If you are unsure what you are dealing with, a call costs nothing and we can say whether a visit is needed. Ring us if you are unsure.
Most people never see the pest itself, only what it leaves behind. Here is how to read the clues in your home and work out what you are dealing with before you spend money on a fix.
Read the advice →Clearing a pest problem is rarely about one product. It is a short sequence of jobs, done in the right order, and the order matters more than the brand of spray in the cupboard.
Read the advice →Pest control does not have one price, because no two jobs are the same. This guide explains what moves the price up or down so you can judge a quote sensibly.
Read the advice →Pests rarely announce themselves. This guide covers the early warning signs, the damage that follows if they are left alone, and the health and property risks worth taking seriously.
Read the advice →Prevention works better when it follows the calendar. Different pests become active at different times, so a few small jobs in the right season do more than one big clear-out.
Read the advice →Some pest problems you can sort out yourself with patience and the right product. Others cost more time and money if you try. Here is how to tell the difference.

This is a general walk-through of how a standard domestic visit tends to go, not a record of one particular job.

Thank you Sean and Zack for your speedy and efficient response to our wasp problem. We originally thought we had 2 wasps nests but on the end had 4. After our initial call they came out the next day and even came out a few days later when another next was discovered. Thank you, we will definitely recommend you.Mrs Carter8 August 2018
