Frequently asked questions
When can you get here?
We get the need for a rapid response for pest control issues. We will find the best time to attend. If it's an urgent matter, we would expect to arrive on site the next working day. If we have pest controllers near your business we can get there on the same day, if you like.
How much does the treatment cost?
The cost depends on the type of work as well as the severity of the infestation. It is difficult to give a cost without seeing the issue first. This is why Merlin Environmental offer free site surveys. Pest removal is a bespoke service because each scenario is somewhat unique
What do I have to do?
In most cases, nothing. We’ll handle everything initially. It’s when we have visited the site, Merlin can suggest points to be addressed. These could include clearing clutter, to removal of outside plants if they are providing harbourage for the pests. Every pest issue is different so it’s best to wait until we’ve done an survey of your situation.
