Pest control FAQs

How soon can you come out to deal with my pests?

We work 24 hours a day, seven days a week and will aim to be with you as quickly as we can to solve your pest problem.

What colour are flea eggs?

Flea eggs are translucent to white specks resembling tiny rice grains. They are often found nestled close to an animal’s skin or within contaminated bedding and upholstery. They are around 0.5mm, so they can easily be mistaken for pet dander.

How can I find out the type of pest that I have in my home?

Different clues will be left by different types of pests, so signs of bed bug infestation will be bite marks or bloodstains on your sheets and pillowcase, whilst rats or rodents can be identified through droppings or bite marks. We can advise on the scale of the problem and the specific species after any inspection.

How can I prevent flea infestations?

One of the best ways to prevent fleas is to groom your pets regularly. Regularly inspect their fur for flea eggs or bite marks. If you detect fleas, immediately isolate the affected pet and any potentially contaminated items. For those without pets, thoroughly clean second-hand clothing, carpets, rugs, and fabric items before bringing them into your home.

What is the life cycle of a carpet beetle?

The carpet beetle’s life cycle varies. Eggs hatch into hairy larvae in one to four weeks, which then pupate for two to three weeks before reaching adulthood. Adults live for three to four weeks.

Kerry Burley

Kush & Ryan where very helpful, when i called originally i thought i had rats, however, over the phone they diagnosed I have squirrels. I was sceptical at first, however, they resolved the issue efficiently & professionally within the price originally agreed, they were very transparent with all the charges & came out on the same day.
Would highly recommend.

Feraz S

Very experienced and provided a professional service resolving the issue we had to our satisfaction and without leaving anything to chance. Happy to recommend (we were also recommended by other friends who had used their services before).

Olivia Millar

I cannot recommend Effective Pest Solutions highly enough. We had a persistent rodent issue in our property that was causing a lot of stress for our family, but from the moment Ryan arrived, we knew we were in safe hands.
Ryan truly went above and beyond for us. He didn't just treat the problem; he took the time to explain the process, identify the entry points, and ensure our home was secure for the long term. It’s rare to find someone so dedicated to their craft who also shows such genuine care for the families they help.
I now trust Ryan implicitly with our home maintenance. If you’re looking for a professional who is thorough, reliable, and incredibly kind, look no further. Thank you, Ryan, for giving us our peace of mind back!

I dealt with Kush and he's been very professional and efficient. I had an emergency on a bank holiday Monday and they were the only ones available (other local companies didn't even bother calling). I had a valve installed in the drain and everything has run smoothly. I think it's good value for money because it's not just a one off, there's follow up visits too.

Jack Colquhoun

Kush was brilliant and really responsive when I had a squirrel issue, he got the problem sorted quickly and included the proofing as part of the package

Jon Prior

Great service. Came same day, identified squirrels in the loft, after third visit all gone and their access sealed up tight. Many thanks.

Kush has been a superstar throughout helping us with our issue. He has been happy to answer my many and varied questions and concerns and offered advice. He has been quick, efficient, shown care for the property, and been friendly and polite throughout. Pricing is more than reasonable for the service offered and he made sure the issue is completely resolved. I recommend this business to anyone who has a need for the services they offer without reservation.

Laura Shaw

I contacted Effective Pest Solutions for a rat infestation, and I couldn’t have asked for more thorough service.
Kush inspected every corner of the house, handled the problem confidently, and didn’t leave until everything was completely taken care of. Very professional, very discreet — and let’s just say he went above and beyond in more ways than one.
Five stars. The rat problem is gone, and I was left extremely satisfied with the service.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Vishal Patel

Effective pest solutions have been great, they quickly answered my query regarding a noise I heard. They quickly identified I have a rat issue. They arrived within 2 working days and started the treatment to remove. Prior to coming, they were transparent with all charges and any extras if required which I accepted. The final visit had been completed, and I no longer have any Rat issues. As an additional value add, they advised me on how to mouse proof the outside, and saved me costs by showing me what to do myself. Highly recommend due to professionalism, communication and getting the job done!
