Cockroaches

Treatment

A single treatment completed in one visit is normally sufficient to eradicate cockroaches. This is achieved by applying an insecticidal gel to discrete surfaces in the effected areas. Sometimes it may first be necessary to assess the extent of the infestation by leaving “Sticky” traps in the effected area. Should the treatment prove to have been ineffective after two weeks then a further visit and application of insecticide can be made without further charge.

Charges

Treatments for domestic infestations are charged at £30.00.  This fee covers the initial visit, and any follow up visits required. 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.
