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.

Newcastle pest-control context
Treatment and proofing are separate parts of a recurring pest problem
Newcastle City Council operates its own qualified pest-control service, but its guidance is clear that treatment does not include building repairs such as filling holes, repairing drains or replacing damaged building components.
Newcastle's pest team treats rodents and insects but does not carry out building repairs
The council says its technicians provide rodent, insect and bird-proofing pest-control services but do not carry out joinery or building work such as filling holes, removing kitchen units or replacing missing roof tiles. When comparing private pest-control quotes, ask whether proofing or repairs are included or need a separate trade.
Broken drains and holes can be rat entry points
Newcastle's rat guidance says technicians try to identify causes and possible entry points such as holes or broken drains, while the owner or occupier remains responsible for repairs. For recurring rodents, ask for inspection of access points as well as treatment.

Describe signs, not just the pest name
Say where droppings, scratching, gnaw marks, nests or insect activity appear and when they are most noticeable. Mention pets, children, food areas and neighbouring properties where relevant.
Proofing may need separate work. For recurring rodents, ask whether the quote includes identifying entry points and whether repairs or proofing are included or will need a builder, drainage specialist or other trade.
