Pricing guide

Costs for a general pest treatment are mainly driven by the pest type and severity plus the size and layout of the property. Single-visit treatments are generally less involved than intensive remedial work or multi-visit rodent programs that need traps, monitoring and disposal. After-hours attendance, difficult access or any specialist handling or structural proofing can also increase the overall scope.

  • Pest type and infestation severity

    Active or severe infestations usually need more labour and materials than a routine treatment.

  • Property size and layout

    Larger homes or properties with many rooms typically take longer and require more product.

  • Visit frequency and monitoring

    Programs requiring multiple visits for trapping or follow-up generally increase the overall scope compared with a one‑off treatment.

  • Materials, traps and disposal needs

    Rodent programmes and intensive treatments often use more bait, traps and may involve regulated disposal or specialist supplies.

  • Access, site conditions and timing

    Restricted access, biohazard handling or after‑hours attendance can add complexity and extend the job duration.
