Identify the pest before comparing treatment prices
A quote for the wrong pest is not useful. Describe evidence carefully and ask whether follow-up visits and proofing are included.
- Describe sightings, droppings, damage, bites or sounds and where they occur.
- Mention children, pets and sensitive areas before treatment is chosen.
- Ask how many visits are included and what happens if activity continues.
- For rodents, ask whether drainage defects or entry points need separate repair.

Brighton & Hove pest-control context
The council does not operate a pest-treatment service, so the private treatment scope matters
Brighton & Hove City Council directs residents to private pest-control providers rather than running its own treatment service. That makes it especially important to compare whether inspection, treatment, follow-up and proofing are included in each quote.
Brighton & Hove does not provide a council pest-control service
The council says it does not operate a pest-control treatment service and points residents toward private providers. When comparing contractors, ask what pest identification, treatment visits, monitoring and follow-up are included before choosing on price alone.
Contaminated clearance or rubbish removal still needs a lawful waste route
If pest treatment also involves a business removing contaminated contents, rubbish or other waste, Brighton & Hove's trade-waste rules require lawful storage, transfer and disposal. Ask whether clearance is included or needs a separate service.
