We completely understand customer’s need for a rapid response on pest control issues. We will always find the best time for us to visit. If it's an urgent matter, we will aim to arrive on site within 24 hours. If we have pest controllers around your area we could arrive the same day, if that works for you.
How much does the treatment cost?
This is dependent on the pest and the scale of the infestation. It is not possible to give a cost without doing an inspection first. This is why Merlin Environmental do not charge for our surveys. Pest removal is a custom service because each situation is relatively different
What do I have to do?
In most cases, nothing. We’ll take care of everything initially. It’s when we have attended the site, the team might suggest points to be addressed. These could include removing clutter, to removal of bushes that are providing harbourage for the pests. Every pest issue is unique so it’s always best to wait until we’ve carried out a free inspection of your site.
