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.

West Bromwich pest treatment
Sandwell Council currently treats a defined range of household pests
The council's own service provides a useful local benchmark for which infestations are commonly treated and where proofing still remains the property owner's responsibility.
Sandwell offers treatments for rats, mice, wasps, cockroaches, fleas and bedbugs
The council's current service lists treatments for those pests plus selected indoor insects. Some treatments are chargeable, while rat treatment in gardens is currently free.
Rat proofing and repairs remain the owner or landlord's responsibility
Sandwell Council says its rat treatment does not replace repairs or proofing and warns that failure to close entry points can allow the problem to recur. Ask any pest controller to separate treatment from proofing work in the quote.
