There comes a point in the life of every homeowner where mice, rats, fleas, beetles, and other vermin invade the house. They are not just annoying, but unsanitary -- they may even be carrying diseases. So, when they do show up, we may be tempted to try and deal with them ourselves. Who knows, maybe we can simply put some traps in place, and the problems will just disappear.
First, we need to note a key distinction between them. Of course, the most obvious difference between mice and rats is size. The average household mouse is tiny, with an estimated weight of 15 grams, whereas rats can reach up to 300 grams. Furthermore, the typical mouse is an inquisitive rodent, not instinctively shying away from anything new in their habitat.
This means a trap for rats can be a helpful tool for controlling the pest. In contrast, the mouse is highly guarded, taking the time to get used to any changes before becoming comfortable with them. As a result, it is much harder to capture a rat.
That is why it is always best to have trained professionals handle your pest problems. That is why Apex is here. In this post, we discuss why pest control is important, and also provide you with an estimate of average pest control costs.
However, we have to ask that you do not take all pest control prices as given. That is, our charges differ depending on the clients house size and what kind of pest problems we are faced with.
What is Apex Pest Control?
We are a pest control company operating in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England. With a rise in the number of mice, rats, and other insect infestations recently, having a specialist company at your disposal is vital. Our goal is to eliminate the pests as fast as possible, effectively, and to prevent any harm to your property. We have more than 30 years of experience in general pest control, working with homeowners as well as commercial businesses. We are always prepared to handle any issue, and we are available seven days a week.
Our company is registered with the National Association of Pest Technicians, and all our technicians are B.P.C.A. In addition, we operate in non-marked vehicles, so our services are discreet, designed to minimise the loss of profits or complaints from customers, while also avoiding any embarrassment associated with a pest infestation.
We put emphasis on security and environment in the handling of domestic, commercial, or residential pest management. We help to ensure that health and environmental surroundings affected by a pest are treated so that a facility is safe to be used.
What Determines The Cost Of Pest Control?
Whether a family's home or food manufacturing facility, various factors contribute to the various pest problems. That is why we always speak to our customers and give them a quote at competitive rates. Also, once we have completed our required surveys and reached an agreement on pricing with our clients, we immediately start working.
So, our charges for pest control services may vary significantly depending on:
● the type of pest
● the severity of the pest infestation
● The location of our customers
● the size of the property in question
After removing the pests, we give our clients an in-depth report about the pest control and treatments that we applied. We also provide recommendations on how to prevent pests in the future.
How Much Does it Cost To Get Rid Of Mice And Rats?
As we have stated previously, there is no set price on any of the pest control services that we offer. There are simply too many factors we have to take into account.
Our average price for pest control services with rats and mice starts from £110, which includes 2 time visits to a clients house. Any further time treatment and pest control visits, should problems continue, are priced at £25. We should note this fee is for clients within South Yorkshire only, with exterminator costs potentially being considerably higher if a client is further afield. Another factor in cost control is the proportion of mice or rats that are infested.
What about the other types of insect infestations?
Our price is £45 for squirrels and mole pests controlled by a trap. However, when it comes to a mole infestation in a farmland, there is no set price, the cost depends on an agreement that we make with the customer.
Aside from rodent control, we also provide insect control services, and our price ranges between £65 - £125. Of course, some insect infestations are more complex, with charges drastically depending on the severity of the problem. For instance, woodworm infestations can be extremely hard to deal with. We would need to conduct a full inspection of the affected property in order to establish the extent to which the outbreak has developed. So, accessibility for inspections and treatment of the contaminated areas will affect costs.
Apex Pest Control Will Get Rid of Pests
Of course, most homeowners could attempt to fix their pest problems on their own. However, when you consider the fact that wasps, mice, and rats multiply quickly, you might be looking at a pest problem with an exponential growth.
