£75–£250Typical domestic treatment range
£120–£240Rodent treatment guide
£75–£150Wasp-nest guide
£100–£280Standard bed-bug treatment
Indicative UK guidance checked August 2026 from MyJobQuote. Solihull 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.

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.

Solihull pest-control context
The council-backed service covers a broad range of domestic pests and publishes current treatment expectations
Solihull's council pest service is managed by SCH Better Places and covers rats, mice, bedbugs, cockroaches, fleas, wasps and other common pests. Its published service details are useful for homeowners comparing the scope of private treatment and follow-up visits.
Solihull's council-backed service treats both rodents and common insect pests
The council lists rats, mice, bedbugs, cockroaches, fleas, ants, wasps and hornets among the pests its partner service can treat. When posting a job, describe whether activity is indoors, outdoors or both and whether there are repeated sightings after previous treatment.
Rodent treatment is normally a multi-visit process rather than a one-off spray
The council's current charge schedule describes rat and mouse treatments as a call-out plus follow-up treatment and, where necessary, a final treatment. That is a useful reminder to compare pest-control quotes on inspection, proofing advice and follow-up as well as the first visit.

Describe evidence, not just the suspected pest
Droppings, gnawing, noises, entry holes, nest location and time of activity can be more useful than a guess at the species. Add photos where possible.
Ask what happens after the first visit. For recurring pests, compare inspection, treatment, follow-up and proofing recommendations rather than only the initial call-out price.
