Rats and Mice

Treatment

A maximum of three visits is normally required to treat for Rats or Mice.  A Pest Control Officer will first visit to assess the level of infestation, and to lay rodenticide bait.  A second visit will always be made, a week later, to assess the take up of the bait, and to lay more bait if required.  A third visit will then be made two weeks later to remove any unused bait.
The Pest Control Officer, if the infestation continues, may consider that further treatments are required.

Charges

Treatments for domestic infestations are charged at £30.00.  This fee covers the first three visits if required, but a further charge may be levied if more than 3 visits are required to eradicate the infestation.
If the treatment charge is paid in advance by credit or debit card, a £2 discount is applied and the treatment therefore costs £28.00.

Concessionary Swindon Card Holders, with suffix Y or Z will be treated free of charge.

Treatments in commercial premises will be charged at £45.10(+vat) for the first hour, and £22.55(+vat) for every additional half hour.
