What to Expect When You Call Pestforce Leciestershire
1. You’ll speak to Charlotte or Nathan
When you call, you’ll usually speak directly to Charlotte, and sometimes Nathan. There’s no call centre. You’re talking to the people who will actually look after your job from start to finish. Both Charlotte and Nathan are fully qualified and experienced, so you’re getting proper advice from the first conversation.
2. A proper conversation about the problem
Charlotte really takes the time to listen and understand what’s going on. Having a pest problem is far more common than people think, and there’s absolutely nothing to be embarrassed about. We've definitely dealt with infestations worse than yours. We often help customers who’ve had bad experiences with other companies or where DIY attempts haven’t worked.
3. Clear advice and next steps
You’ll be asked a few sensible questions to help us understand the situation. Where possible, a guide price can be given and the likely treatment explained clearly.
4. Booking your visit
If you’re happy to go ahead, your visit will be booked in at a time that suits you. All work is carried out by Nathan or Charlotte, so you always know exactly who is coming to your property.
5. Confirmation by text and email
You’ll receive full booking confirmation by text and email with clear details of what’s happening and when.
6. A thorough survey on the day
On the day of your visit, you’ll receive a call around 30 minutes before arrival. The initial survey is very comprehensive and can take around an hour, depending on the issue. Everything is explained clearly before any treatment starts.
7. Treatment, reports and payment
After the visit, you’ll receive a digital report covering what was found, what treatment was carried out, any safety information, and details of next steps or follow-up visits.
Payment can be made by card during visits or by BACS after the visit, although we prefer the full job to be paid before the end of the treatment programme.
8. Aftercare and follow-up
Once the work is completed, you’ll receive a final report. We always ask for a review and genuinely appreciate the feedback. If you need us after the job is finished, we’re always reachable and happy to help.

General Property Pest Survey in Leicester
Our general property pest survey is ideal for property sellers, buyers and homeowners who want a clearer understanding of any pest-related issues before a sale or purchase moves forward.
Nathan at Pestforce Leicester carries out detailed surveys to help identify:
- Current or historic pest activity
- The pest species involved
- Likely entry points
- Harbourage areas
- Conditions that may be attracting pests
- Any visible proofing, hygiene or maintenance issues
- Recommended treatment or proofing works
The survey usually lasts 1 to 2 hours and includes a full written report with clear findings and recommendations.
The cost is £120 + VAT.
If a treatment is agreed during the survey visit, the survey fee will be waived within the agreed treatment price.
Preventing Pests During Spring / Summer 2026
As the weather warms up, pest activity tends to increase too. Spring and summer are when ants become more noticeable, wasps start building nests, and pests are more active around bins, gardens, sheds and outdoor eating areas.
Here are a few simple ways to help keep pests at bay:
- Keep food covered – BBQ food, pet food, crumbs and sugary drinks can all attract ants, wasps and flies. Clear up quickly and avoid leaving food out longer than needed.
- Manage bins properly – Warm weather makes bins much more appealing to pests. Keep lids shut, bag waste securely, and do not let rubbish build up near the house.
- Watch for ants early – Ants often appear in kitchens, patios and around doorways in spring and summer. Wiping up crumbs and sugary spillages quickly can help stop them settling in.
- Look out for wasp activity – Early summer is when wasps start searching for places to nest, especially in lofts, sheds, rooflines and wall voids. Spotting early activity can help prevent a larger nest later on.
- Keep outdoor areas tidy – Overgrown gardens, clutter and stacked items can give pests places to hide. Keeping things neat can make your property less inviting.
- Be careful when travelling – Bed bugs can sometimes be picked up from hotels and holiday accommodation. Check beds if you are away, keep luggage off the bed, and wash travel clothes when you get home if needed.
- Seal obvious gaps – Small gaps around doors, vents, pipes and brickwork can make it easier for pests to get inside, especially during warmer months when doors and windows are open more often.
A little prevention now can save a lot of hassle later. If you spot signs of pest activity, Pestforce Leicester is here to help.
Rats are not something to ignore. They spread disease, damage property, and once they settle in, numbers can rise quickly.
Our rat control service in Leicester uses a structured, professional treatment designed to deal with the problem properly and reduce the risk of it returning.
Most infestations are resolved using a standard three-visit riddance programme, carried out over 3 weeks to allow time for the treatment to work effectively and safely.
Most rat problems are dealt with using the following approach.
Visit 1 – Inspection, Survey and Treatment Start
A full inspection and survey of the property is carried out to identify signs of rat activity such as droppings, runs and gnaw marks, likely entry points and nesting areas, and contributing factors such as waste storage, drainage or garden features. Treatment is then started using professional-grade baits and traps, placed safely and in line with current regulations.
Visit 2 – Monitoring and Replenishment
The second visit focuses on monitoring progress and maintaining control. This includes checking activity levels, replenishing bait where required, resetting traps, and removing any carcasses found. Placements may be adjusted to ensure the treatment remains effective.
Visit 3 – Conclusion and Minor Proofing
On the final visit, activity is checked to confirm the infestation is under control. All baits and traps are removed, and minor proofing is carried out to obvious entry points where possible. Advice is also given on prevention to help reduce the risk of rats returning.
In some cases, further visits may be required, particularly where activity is heavy or caused by external factors. If major proofing or extensive remedial work is needed, such as structural repairs or drainage issues, this will be clearly explained. Larger works are not included and would need to be carried out by a builder.
Cost: £295 + VAT for the standard 3-visit rat treatment programme. This includes inspection, treatment, monitoring, and conclusion of the infestation.
Rat Control FAQs
How do rats get in? Generally they come from outside. They only need a hole the size of a pound to enter your property.
How long does rat treatment take? Treatment is carried out over 3 weeks to allow enough time for activity to stop fully.
Is the treatment safe around pets and children? Yes. All baits and traps are placed in secure, professional bait stations and positioned safely.
Will rats come back after treatment? Once cleared, prevention is key. Advice on proofing and good housekeeping will help reduce the risk of re-infestation.
Mice can quickly become a serious problem if left untreated. They contaminate food, cause damage by gnawing wires and materials, and can spread disease.
Our mouse control service in Leicester uses a structured, professional treatment designed to deal with the infestation properly and reduce the risk of it returning. Most mouse infestations are resolved using a standard three-visit treatment programme, carried out over 3 weeks to allow time for the treatment to work effectively and safely.
Visit 1 – Inspection, Survey and Treatment Start
A full inspection and survey of the property is carried out to identify signs of mouse activity such as droppings, nesting material and gnaw marks. Likely entry points, harbourage areas, and contributing factors such as food sources or gaps in the building are identified. Treatment is then started using professional-grade baits and traps, positioned safely and in line with current regulations.
Visit 2 – Monitoring and Replenishment
The second visit focuses on monitoring progress and maintaining control. This includes checking activity levels, replenishing bait where required, resetting traps, and removing any carcasses found. Trap and bait placements may be adjusted to improve effectiveness.
Visit 3 – Conclusion and Minor Proofing
On the final visit, activity is checked to confirm the infestation is under control. All baits and traps are removed, and minor proofing is carried out to obvious entry points where possible. Practical advice is also given on prevention to help stop mice returning.
In some cases, further visits may be required, particularly where infestations are heavy or we experience behavioural resistance. If major proofing or extensive remedial work is needed, such as building repairs, this will be clearly explained. Larger works are not included and would need to be carried out by a builder.
Cost: £295 + VAT for the standard 3-visit mouse treatment programme. This includes inspection, treatment, monitoring, and conclusion of the infestation.
Mouse Control FAQs
How do mice get in? Generally they come from outside. They only need a hole the size of a biro pen to enter your property.
How long does mouse treatment take? Treatment is usually carried out over several weeks to allow enough time for activity to stop fully.
Is mouse treatment safe around pets and children? Yes. All baits and traps are placed in secure, professional bait stations and positioned safely.
Can mice return after treatment? Prevention is key. Advice on proofing, food storage, and good housekeeping will help reduce the risk of re-infestation.
Squirrels can cause serious damage if they gain access to a property. They gnaw roof timbers, insulation and wiring, and once inside a loft, the damage can escalate quickly.
Our squirrel control service in Leicester focuses on safe, legal control methods to deal with the problem properly and prevent further harm. Due to current legislation, live trapping is not permitted. Grey squirrels cannot be released back into the wild, so squirrel control is carried out using approved trapping methods only, in line with the law and best practice.
Most squirrel problems are dealt with using our 3 visit trapping approach.
1) Inspection and Assessment
A full inspection is carried out to confirm squirrel activity and identify how access has been gained. This includes checking rooflines, loft spaces and surrounding trees or structures. The extent of damage and risk is assessed before any trapping begins.
2) Trapping Programme
Traps are installed in appropriate locations and checked regularly. This method allows control to be carried out humanely and legally. Activity levels are monitored throughout the programme to ensure the problem is being resolved.
3) Conclusion and Advice
Once activity has stopped, traps are removed and advice is given on prevention. This may include recommendations for proofing work to block access points and reduce the risk of squirrels returning.
Cost: £295 + VAT for the standard 3-visit grey squirrel trapping programme.
In some cases, proofing or repair work may be required to prevent re-entry, particularly where roof damage is present. Any major remedial or structural repairs will be clearly explained and would need to be carried out by a builder.
Squirrel Control FAQs
Why isn’t live trapping offered for squirrels? Live trapping is not permitted because grey squirrels cannot legally be released. Any squirrel control must comply with current legislation.
Is squirrel trapping safe and legal? Yes. All trapping is carried out using approved methods and in line with legal and welfare requirements.
Will squirrels come back after treatment? If access points remain open, there is a risk of re-entry. Proofing and preventative measures are key, and advice will be provided to reduce the chance of recurrence.
Bed bugs are difficult to deal with without professional treatment. They hide well, spread easily between rooms, and DIY products rarely resolve the problem fully.
Our bed bug treatment service in Leicester uses a structured, multi-visit approach designed to eliminate activity and confirm the infestation has been cleared.
All treatments include two treatment visits, followed by a third visit for a final inspection and check to confirm the outcome.
Before treatment starts, bed bug pre-treatment advice documents are sent out. These must be followed carefully, as correct preparation plays a big part in the success of the treatment. This includes strongly advising that items are not moved between rooms, as doing so can easily spread the infestation to other areas of the property.
Bed bug treatments are only carried out where clear evidence of an active infestation is found. This may include live bed bugs, cast skins, spotting, or other confirmed signs. If no evidence is present at the time of inspection, treatment will not proceed.
Most bed bug infestations are dealt with using one of the following options.
Chemical-Only Treatment (1 Affected Room)
This option uses professional-grade insecticides applied to all relevant areas within the affected room.
- Two treatment visits
- Third visit for final inspection
- Pre-treatment advice included
- Cost: £249 + VAT (all three visits included)
Chemical and Heat Treatment (1 Affected Room)
This option combines chemical treatment with heat via steam, helping to penetrate harbourage areas such as seams, cracks and soft furnishings where bed bugs hide.
- Two treatment visits
- Third visit for final inspection
- Steam heat treatment combined with chemical application
- Pre-treatment advice included
- Cost: £295 + VAT (all three visits included)
Additional Rooms
If more than one room is affected, additional rooms can be treated at the same time.
- Additional room, chemical only: £100 per room
- Additional room, chemical and heat: £150 per room
Treating all affected rooms is strongly recommended to prevent bed bugs spreading or re-establishing elsewhere in the property.
Third Visit and Ongoing Activity
The third visit is carried out to confirm that activity has stopped and the treatment has been successful. If live bed bugs are found during this visit, a free third treatment will be carried out to the affected area as part of the service. Final advice is provided on prevention, monitoring, and reducing the risk of re-infestation going forward.
Wasps are a common problem across Leicester during spring and summer. While they are a natural part of the environment, they can become aggressive when nesting close to homes, gardens, rooflines and other busy areas.
A wasp sting is painful for most people, but for some it can be extremely serious. That is why active wasp nests should be treated quickly, safely and properly.
Professional Wasp Nest Treatment from £120 + VAT
Nathan at Pestforce Leicester provides safe, professional wasp nest treatment from £120 + VAT.
This includes:
- Professional treatment of the active nest
- Proper paperwork
- Qualified application using approved professional-use products
- A clear treatment guarantee - If the nest is still active 5 days after treatment, we will return and retreat it free of charge.
- Please note that the cost can be higher in some cases, especially if the nest is particularly high up, such as 8 metres or more, and additional access equipment is needed to carry out the treatment safely.
Be Careful of Cheap Wasp Treatments
It is worth being cautious with unusually cheap wasp nest treatments. Rogue or unqualified pest controllers may offer a low price without proper paperwork, without the right training, or while using unlicensed or inappropriate chemicals such as Ficam. That can put people, pets and property at unnecessary risk.
Common Wasp Nest Locations
We regularly treat wasp nests in:
- lofts and attics
- rooflines and eaves
- garages and sheds
- wall cavities
- gardens and outbuildings
- around doors, windows and other sheltered areas
If you have noticed wasps repeatedly flying in and out of the same spot, there is a good chance there is an active nest nearby.
Fleas can quickly become a serious nuisance in homes across Leicester, especially where pets are present or where a property has recently been occupied by animals. Flea bites are often found around the ankles and lower legs, and once fleas get into carpets, sofas, pet bedding and floorboard gaps, the problem can spread quickly.
Nathan at Pestforce Leicester offers both chemical flea treatments and heat treatment options, depending on the property, the severity of the infestation and the most suitable approach for the job.
All flea treatment plans include a minimum of 2 visits to help tackle the full flea life cycle properly. This is important because while adult fleas may be affected early on, eggs and developing stages can survive and emerge later if the treatment programme is not followed through correctly.
Preparation is an important part of successful flea control. In most cases, carpets should be thoroughly vacuumed beforehand, pet bedding should be washed on a hot cycle, and floors should be cleared as much as possible so treatment can reach the affected areas properly.
If you need professional flea control in Leicester, Pestforce Leicester can provide a structured treatment plan with clear advice from start to finish.
Ants can become a real nuisance in Leicester homes and businesses, particularly during the warmer months when they start coming indoors in search of food. Kitchens, patios, conservatories and paved areas are all common hotspots.
Nathan at Pestforce Leicester provides professional ant control treatments, generally using an insecticidal gel to target the infestation properly. In most cases, one visit is usually enough to bring the problem under control, depending on the extent and location of the activity. Ant treatments are £140 + VAT.
We deal with common household ant problems as well as more difficult species such as Pharaoh ants, which can require a more careful and considered treatment approach.
Ant activity often starts around cracks in paving, wall edges, door thresholds, kitchen floors and other entry points. Once a trail is established, numbers can build quickly, so early treatment is always advisable.
Cockroaches are one of the most unpleasant pests to find in any property. In Leicester, the main species we deal with is the German cockroach, which can breed quickly and hide in warm, dark areas close to food and moisture.
They are commonly found in kitchens, utility rooms, boiler cupboards, behind appliances, inside cupboards and around pipework, particularly in flats, food premises and other busy buildings.
Nathan at Pestforce Leicester provides professional cockroach control treatments using appropriate professional-use products and a clear treatment plan based on the level of activity and the areas affected.
Cockroach treatments are £140 + VAT per visit, and infestations are usually resolved within 3 visits. Because cockroaches breed quickly and can remain hidden deep within a property, follow-up visits are often important to bring the infestation fully under control.
If you are seeing live cockroaches, droppings or repeated activity in the same area, early treatment is strongly recommended.
Moles can cause significant damage to lawns, gardens, paddocks and managed grounds, leaving behind unsightly molehills and disturbing the ground as they tunnel.
Nathan at Pestforce Leicester provides professional mole catching in Leicester using a trapping-based approach. This is a proven and effective way of dealing with active mole activity and targeting the problem at source.
Mole treatments are £180 + VAT for 3 visits, and the problem is usually resolved within 2 visits. This price is based on a general-sized domestic garden. Larger areas of land or more extensive mole activity may require a higher quotation.
Treatment involves identifying active runs, setting traps in the right locations and monitoring results over the course of the visit plan.
If you are noticing fresh molehills appearing in your Leicester garden or outdoor space, Pestforce Leicester can provide prompt, professional help.
Flies can become a frustrating problem in Leicester homes and businesses, particularly when activity builds up around windows, drains, bins, kitchens, lofts or commercial premises. Different fly species require different treatment approaches, so identifying the source properly is an important first step.
Nathan at Pestforce Leicester deals with a wide range of fly problems, including cluster flies, drain flies, fungus gnats, bluebottles and other nuisance flying insects.
Treatment will depend on the type of fly, where the activity is coming from and how established the problem has become. In some cases, the issue is linked to drainage, moisture, decaying organic matter, loft spaces or indoor plant soil, so getting to the root cause is key.
Fly control pricing depends on the job following a survey, allowing the treatment plan to be tailored to the property, the species involved and the level of activity.
Pigeons can cause major problems for both residential and commercial properties in Leicester. Nesting, fouling and repeated roosting can damage buildings, block gutters, contaminate surfaces and create ongoing mess around roofs, ledges, balconies, solar panels, signage and entrances.
Nathan at Pestforce Leicester provides professional pigeon control and proofing for homes, businesses and commercial premises. This includes dealing with active pigeon problems and installing effective proofing to stop birds returning to the same areas.
Services can include:
- Pigeon proofing
- Solar panel proofing
- Netting, spikes and post-and-wire systems
- Guano clean-ups
- Nest removal where appropriate
- Bird control for residential and commercial sites
For more severe or persistent pigeon issues, licensed culling may be considered as a last resort, where legally permitted and fully justified.
Every pigeon job is different, so the right solution will depend on the building, access requirements and level of activity. Surveys are available to assess the issue and recommend the most suitable treatment or proofing plan.

Rat Infestation in a Leicester Office - 19th February 2025
A Leicester office manager contacted us after staff heard scratching noises behind the walls and noticed a foul smell in the breakroom. On inspection, we found evidence of rat activity, with droppings in hidden areas and gnawed wiring behind kitchen units posing both hygiene and fire risks. The culprits had gained access through an old, unsealed pipe in the basement. We swiftly implemented a baiting and trapping program while sealing off all possible entry points. A follow-up visit is scheduled to ensure the rodents are completely eradicated, bringing peace of mind to office staff once again.

Mice in the cupboard in Leicestershire - August 2023
Pestforce Pest Control Leicestershire took a call from a very elderly lady rang in distress as she who had seen mice in her cupboards eating the dog food. We arranged to pop in that afternoon as I knew I would be passing by. Whilst there she also mentioned that she had an ant problem which I sorted at the same time. Very interesting lady to speak to have a chat and a cup of tea with her, I then found out she was a renowned horse dealer back in the day who had often ridden with King Charles. Every day is certainly different.
Moles invade local church lawn in Leicestershire - July 2023

Rat sightings in a warden controlled sheltered housing complex in Leicester, LE4 – 1st April 2023
Pestforce Pest Control Leicestershire received an emergency call out after a resident said she had seen a rat run across her flat floor. Due to the time of day we were able to go out to her straight away. Upon inspection there was no evidence of rats in the lady’s flat, however mouse droppings were seen in one of the kitchen cupboards and near the skirting boards of the lounge/bedroom area. The customer did have issues with her sight and informed us that her eyesight is often quite blurry. The customer had placed glue boards around the property which had caught several cockroaches in the kitchen area that were coming out from under the fridge, upon investigation these were Blattella Germanica (German cockroaches). We recommended to remove the glue boards as she said she wouldn’t know what to do if she caught anything. I reassured the resident and carried out a thorough inspection of the property. I set mouse traps as necessary and placed an insect monitor down the side of fridge for the cockroach issues. This was set up as a 3 visit treatment and successfully cleared the infestation. Following all the visits we liaised with the warden for the home so that they knew what we had done whilst there. The lady was so grateful for our fast response she couldn’t thank us enough.
