What a pest controller does
Pest controllers deal with rats, mice, wasps, bed bugs, fleas, ants, moths and cockroaches, and proof the house so they do not come back. In Birmingham most treatments are priced by the pest and the number of visits, so describe what you have seen, where and for how long, and ask whether follow-up visits are included.

Frequently asked questions
Should I use the council or a private business?
Some councils still offer pest control, often for a fee and with a wait. A private business is usually faster. Either way, ask what is used, whether it is safe for children and pets, and what proofing they recommend.
How do I know if I have rats or mice?
Mouse droppings are small and rice shaped; rat droppings are larger and darker. Rats gnaw hard materials and leave grease marks along walls. Both are more active at night. A controller can tell from the signs in a few minutes.
Is a wasp nest dangerous to remove myself?
Yes if it is large, high up or near a door, and anyone with an allergy should never attempt it. A controller treats the nest and it dies off within a day or two. Nests are not reused the following year.
How do I get a quote from pest controllers in Birmingham?
Pick a listing on this page and send a quote request saying what needs doing and when suits you. The business comes back to you with a price and a time. It is free to ask, and no payment is taken online.
Are the pest controllers on this page vetted?
Not yet. Listings marked Claimed have been claimed by the business and are kept up to date by them; the rest come from public records such as Companies House and Google and are marked as not yet claimed. Every listing shows its real Google rating and review count where one exists. We do not check registers or insurance yet, so ask for a Gas Safe or NICEIC/NAPIT number and check it yourself.
What should I check before I hire a pest controller?
Ask for a written quote and what it includes, who will do the work, whether they are insured, and any registration the trade needs, such as Gas Safe for gas work or a Part P scheme for electrics. Never pay the full amount up front.
Is the water hard in Birmingham?
Severn Trent supplies about 9 in 10 Birmingham postcodes and South Staffs Water most of the rest, including Sutton Coldfield. Hardness is from 35 mg/l (soft) to 223 mg/l (hard) depending on the supply zone, from 2025 to 2026 supply zone data. It varies by street, so check your postcode with your water company.
Who do I call if I smell gas in Birmingham?
Call the national gas emergency number, 0800 111 999, free at any time. Cadent runs the gas network in the West Midlands and will send an engineer to make it safe. Then book a Gas Safe registered engineer for any repair.
