How Much Does Pest Control Cost in Cambridge?

Every price we charge, in one place — plus a guide to each treatment explaining what the figure covers and what changes it.

Most pest control companies will not put a price on a website. We think that is the wrong way round: the first thing you want to know is what it is going to cost, and ringing three firms to find out is a waste of your afternoon.

So here is the full list. Every one of these figures is confirmed with you before any work begins.

Fixed Prices and Per-Room Prices

Most of the list is a single fixed figure. A £90 wasp nest treatment is £90 whether the nest is in a shed or under a roof tile three storeys up. A £120 inspection is £120 whatever we find. £240 ant control, £260 for rats or mice, and £280 squirrel trapping are all one price for the job.

Four are priced differently, and it is worth explaining why rather than burying it.

The per-room treatments

Bed bugs, fleas, and carpet moths and beetles are all charged at a first-room price with a lower figure for each additional room. That is because these are pests that live in the rooms they infest — the treatment is applied room by room, so the work scales directly with how many rooms are affected.

The first room costs more than the ones after it because it carries the survey, the set-up and the travel. Every room after that is treatment time alone, which is why bed bugs are £220 and then £80, and the other two are £220 and then £60.

What this is not. It is not a price decided on the day. We establish how many rooms are involved and confirm the total before anything is booked. A one-bedroom flat with bed bugs in the bedroom is £220, and you will know that before we come out.

The proofing hour

Rat and mice proofing is £180 for up to an hour of work, because the job is genuinely measured in time rather than in rooms — it depends on how many gaps there are and how awkward they are to reach. Most domestic properties are dealt with inside the hour. Where yours needs longer, we will tell you what is involved and what it costs before carrying on, not afterwards.

What Every Price Includes

  • Attendance. There is no call-out fee on top of the treatment price.
  • Identification of what you are actually dealing with.
  • The treatment itself, carried out by a technician trained to industry standards.
  • Advice on prevention — how it got in, and what stops it happening again. On rodent work this is frequently the most valuable part.
  • A guarantee where one applies, confirmed at booking.

Which Service Do You Need?

If you know what you have got, go straight to the treatment. If you do not, the £120 inspection is designed for exactly that situation — it identifies the pest, the extent, the access points and the appropriate treatment, and you get it in writing.

A £120 survey that tells you what you are dealing with beats £260 spent treating the wrong thing.

Pest Control Pricing — Common Questions

Why do you publish your prices when most pest controllers do not?
Because the first thing anybody wants to know is what it will cost, and having to ring round for three quotes to find out is a waste of everyone's afternoon. Publishing the figures means you can decide whether to call us before you call us.
Why are some treatments priced per room?
Because bed bugs, fleas, carpet moths and carpet beetles live in the rooms they infest, so the work scales with how many rooms are affected. Charging per room means a single bedroom costs what a single bedroom should, instead of being averaged up to cover whole-house jobs. The first room carries the survey and the set-up, which is why the additional rooms are cheaper than the first.
How do you decide what counts as a room?
A room is a room — a bedroom, a lounge, a hallway with affected carpet. We establish how many are involved and confirm the total with you before booking, so there is no argument about it on the day.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. You pay for the treatment, not for the visit.
Do the prices include VAT?
Confirm this with us when you book, so that the figure you are given is the figure you pay.
What does the £180 proofing hour cover?
Up to one hour of proofing work — sealing the gaps and access points that let rodents in. Most domestic jobs are done inside the hour. Where a property needs more, we tell you what it will take and what it will cost before doing it.
What if I do not know what pest I have?
Then a pest inspection and survey at £120 fixed cost is the right starting point. It identifies what you are dealing with, where it is, how it is getting in, and what treatment is appropriate.
Will I be told the price before any work starts?
Always. That is the whole point of publishing them. You will never be told the figure after the work has been done.
Do you charge more for evenings, weekends or emergencies?
Tell us what you need and when, and we will be straight with you about it before you commit to anything.
Are treatments guaranteed?
We offer guaranteed treatments, and the guarantee applicable to your particular service is confirmed when it is booked. The £90 wasp treatment and the £240 ant treatment are both stated as guaranteed.
Do you cover businesses as well as homes?
Yes, throughout Cambridge and Cambridgeshire — restaurants, cafés, shops, offices, warehouses, landlords, letting agents and property managers.
