The pest, infestation size and number of visits all affect price. Current 2026 UK guidance gives these broad private-treatment benchmarks:
Indicative UK guidance checked August 2026 from MyJobQuote. Brighton & Hove City Council also operates its own chargeable residential pest service with separate published prices, so compare the exact service and number of visits rather than headline figures alone.

A quote for the wrong pest is not useful. Describe evidence carefully and ask whether follow-up visits and proofing are included.

Brighton & Hove pest-control context
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.
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.
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.
