Dealing with a pest infestation can be stressful, and professional help is often the most effective solution. The cost of pest control in the UK in 2025 depends on the type of pest and the extent of the infestation.
For a common issue like a wasp nest removal, you can expect to pay a fixed fee of between £60 and £100.
Treating rats or mice is usually more involved and often requires several visits. The initial visit for assessment and baiting typically costs £120-£180, with follow-up visits costing £50-£80 each. A full course of treatment for rodents might total £200-£350.
Insect infestations like fleas or bed bugs require thorough treatment of the property. The cost for a professional spray treatment for a 3-bedroom house is typically in the range of £200-£400. Bed bug treatments can be more complex and may require heat treatment, which can be more expensive.
The size of your property and the severity of the infestation are the main factors that will determine the final cost. Always use a pest controller who is a member of a professional body like the British Pest Control Association (BPCA) to ensure they are qualified and use approved, safe methods.
