Response from Ian was quick and he arrived the following day and assessed my issue with mice in the loft. He was very knowledgeable and professional. I had already been addressing the problem with the council PC and topping up the bait boxes before he came out, so he didn't need to treat personally. But if I ever need his service I wouldn't hesitate to call him in the future. Read lessKaren Rowles10/27/2023

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).
