Called Avon Pest Control yesterday morning as we had a wasps nest on the 2nd floor of our house. They attended before 3pm, and a very knowledgeable gentleman knew exactly what to do. Filled and taped up the points of ingress, was able to apply the treatment to the external access despite the height, all done in 30 minutes. He told me there would be a lot of activity at first, then it would subside, which it has. A prompt and efficient service from a local company (less than a mile from my home).

Extremely prompt, professional, and helpful service. Came to our house very quickly after calling, assessed the situation, and recommended waiting rather than treatment. Did all of this for free and wouldn't accept a call out fee. Will definitely use them again if any other issues come up.

Fab service, delivered for a fraction of the quote from the market leading provider. First time success removing a hornets nest from a very inaccessible and high position. 100% recommended.

Contacted Avon pest control for some help and advice on identification of a pest and cannot express enough how brilliant they were. Email response was very quick, well within the 2 hour time frame outlined for a response on their website , and Ian was very helpful and professional. Thankfully I didn't need any further or more advanced expertise but if I had of needed further help I would have had no hesitation about the level of quality and professionalism this company would provide. Thankyou for all your help!

Avon pest control came out to investigate how birds were getting into out loft.He got his ladder out and went to the roof to investigate, as soon as he was up there it became obvious to him that two tiles were out of place.Within seconds he had re secured the tiles, had a good look at the rest of the roof, both front and rear to see if there were anymore possible entry points, which there were not.On completion I asked how much the bill was to which he replied there was no charge as he was only here a few minutes.He could have quite simply told me that further work was required which I would have excepted, but no, it was a two minute job that he wouldn't charge for.Really nice knowledgeable chap who has restored my faith in human nature, I would have no problem recommending Avon Pest Control safe in the mind you will get a fair and honest job.
