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. Nottingham 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.

Nottingham pest-control context
The council directs residents to professional pest specialists rather than operating a treatment service. Its guidance is especially useful for recurring rodent problems because it highlights food, harbourage, proofing and access through drains or sewers.
Nottingham City Council says owners or occupiers are responsible where their property provides food, harbourage or access to drains and sewers for rats and mice. If activity returns after baiting, ask whether the contractor will inspect entry points, drainage routes and proofing needs rather than treating the symptom only.

The same guidance explains that the council can enforce the legal duty to keep land and property free from rats and mice. For landlords or shared properties, document where activity is occurring and whether the quote includes inspection, treatment, repeat visits and proofing so responsibilities are clear.

Questions
Useful answers before you post the job.
No. The council currently provides advice and enforcement but directs residents and businesses to professional pest-control specialists for treatment.
It depends on the pest, property size, severity, number of visits and proofing required. Compare the complete treatment scope rather than a headline call-out.
Recurring activity can indicate food sources, access holes or drainage and sewer defects. Ask whether the contractor will investigate the route as well as use bait or traps.
Yes. Pest-control requests can cover rodents, wasps, bed bugs and a range of other domestic pest problems.
No. Up to three interested local professionals can respond and there is no obligation to hire.
Describe the pest, signs and affected areas once, then compare interested Nottingham pest controllers and their treatment plans.
