Pest UK were prompt in their responses and service

Brilliant service and a reassuring experience

Pest UK were prompt, responsive and professional throughout. Jaz, who came out to deal with the issue, was absolutely brilliant. He immediately recognised that I was anxious and went out of his way to put me at ease. He took the time to explain what had happened, what he was doing to resolve it and answered all my questions with patience and care.

A genuinely excellent experience from start to finish. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Pest UK, and especially Jaz.

Disappointing

The person who has been dealing with our pest control issue has been very friendly. However, despite having two treatment visits, we’ve had two more incidents, and we still have mice in the office.

During the first visit, he placed bait in the affected area, which seemed to resolve the problem. However, before the second visit, we spotted another small mouse in a different part of the office. He placed bait in that area as well, but unfortunately, the mouse is still around and has now made its way back to the original area.

I called to report this and was told someone would get back to me, but I haven't heard anything. I tried calling again, but there was no answer.

It's disappointing that we're still dealing with the same issue after two visits, especially as we haven't received any follow-up.

Thanks for the feedback, and we’re sorry you’re still seeing mice after two visits, and sorrier still that your calls haven’t been picked up or returned. That’s not how we want things to go. Glad to hear the technician has been friendly and helpful throughout, but you shouldn’t be chasing us for a follow up. We’ve tried to find your account from the review but haven’t been able to match it, so please give the office a call, mention this review, and ask for it to be passed to the branch manager. We’ll make sure someone gets back to you the same day and arranges the next visit.

Thank you, what a brilliant review. James will be chuffed to bits with this. Putting people at ease is half the job with a pest problem, so it’s lovely to hear he did that as well as sorting the issue quickly and explaining everything clearly. We’ll make sure he sees it. Thanks for recommending us, and we’re here whenever you need us.

Excellent service pest control

James Howell visited us for an issue we have had with rats entering our property. James was extremely knowledgeable and provided an excellent service to us, and our problem has since been eradicated with thanks to James and his fantastic service. If ever we are in need of further help I would be asking for James every time. He really went above and beyond to help us out

My experience

For a Google review, it’s strongest to keep it factual and clearly framed as your experience. That makes the criticism more credible while covering the unsuccessful treatment, the circumstances preventing completion, and the refund dispute.

⭐ 1/5

Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this company based on my experience.

I contacted them to deal with a mouse problem at my property and paid for what I expected to be an effective professional pest-control service. A technician attended and traps/bait stations were placed around the property. However, the problem was not resolved. We continued to experience mice in and around the property, and the measures that had been put in place did not provide the outcome I had paid for.

There were also restrictions at the property which affected what the technician was able to do. I understand that some circumstances may be outside a pest-control company’s direct control, but my issue is that I still ended up paying the full amount for a service that, in my experience, could not be completed effectively under those circumstances and did not resolve the problem.

Eventually, the housing association was going to deal with the issue instead, so I informed the technician that there was no need to return to continue the treatment. The company has subsequently relied on this as the reason for refusing my request for a partial refund, stating that they were not given the opportunity to complete the treatment programme or provide further recommendations.

My concern with that response is simple: by that stage, I had already paid for the service, traps/bait stations had been placed, the mice were still present, and I no longer had confidence in continuing with the treatment when the housing association was stepping in to address the problem.

I did not demand a full refund. I requested a 70% partial refund because I acknowledged that the technician had attended and that some work had been carried out. I felt that allowing the company to retain 30% was a reasonable recognition of the attendance and work undertaken, while refunding the remainder because the service had not resolved the problem and could not, in my view, be carried out effectively in the circumstances.

Unfortunately, the company refused my request and maintained its position despite several emails explaining my concerns.

What disappointed me most was not simply that the treatment was unsuccessful, but the way the complaint was ultimately handled. I tried to reach what I considered a fair compromise rather than demanding all of my money back. The response was essentially that because I chose not to continue with further visits once the housing association became involved, they would not provide the partial refund requested.

I appreciate that pest-control treatments cannot necessarily guarantee an immediate result and that follow-up visits can form part of the process. However, as a paying customer, I also believe that when circumstances mean a service cannot be effectively completed and the problem remains unresolved, there should be some willingness to consider a reasonable partial refund rather than simply retaining the full payment.

Ultimately, I paid for professional help with a mouse problem, the mice continued to be present in and around the property, and I was left dissatisfied with both the outcome and the handling of my complaint.

Based on my personal experience, I would not use this company again and cannot recommend them. I would advise prospective customers to make sure they understand exactly what is included in the treatment programme, what happens if circumstances at the property prevent the treatment from being completed effectively, and what the company’s refund policy is before making payment.

I’ve deliberately kept the review focused on what happened and your opinion of the service, rather than making allegations about the company’s motives or conduct that go beyond your experience.

Thank you for taking the time to set out your experience in such detail, and we’re sorry you’ve come away disappointed. We’ve looked back over the account. Our technician completed the first visit of the treatment programme and placed bait stations at the property, and as you say, there were restrictions at the property that limited what could be done on that visit. Mouse treatments are run as a programme of visits for exactly that reason, so the technician can monitor activity, adjust what’s in place and deal with anything the first visit didn’t reach. We fully understand your decision to let the housing association take over, and we’d never want to get in the way of that. Where we’ve struggled is that the programme was stopped before we had a chance to finish it, which is why we weren’t able to agree the refund you asked for. We do still have bait stations at the property and would like to collect them, so we’d be grateful if you could let the office know a time that suits you for that. If the housing association’s work doesn’t get to the bottom of it, the door is open for us to pick the programme back up.

Great company

Great company, customer service was superb, clear and experienced advice and compassionate about the issue. The person who then came out was again clearly knowledgeable, took great care and importantly did a really thorough and professional job. The treatment was a little expensive but worth it and we very much hope has resolved our issue.

Thank you, that’s a lovely review. Clear advice on the phone and a thorough, careful job on the day is exactly how we want it to go, so it’s great to hear it did. We appreciate the honest word on cost too, and we always aim to make sure the work is done properly so it’s money well spent. Fingers crossed that’s the issue sorted, and if anything does flare up again just give us a shout. We’re here whenever you need us.
