Our technicians drive over from Southwell, about 55 minutes away (around 38 miles). We deal with rats, mice, wasp nests, bed bugs, fleas, cockroaches, squirrels and birds across LE1–LE5, find out how they're getting in, and seal the gaps so they don't come back. We'll explain the likely cost before any work starts.

Local Knowledge
Leicester lies on the River Soar, and the Grand Union Canal's Leicester Line runs through the city alongside it. Waterside banks, towpath vegetation and litter give brown rats cover and food, so homes and businesses backing onto the river and canal corridor are among the places we're most often called to for rats.
Clarendon Park was laid out from the 1870s, and South Highfields is a conservation area of red-brick Victorian terraces. Mice travel easily between joined houses through shared roof voids, gaps around pipes and under floorboards, so treating one house in a terrace often goes hand in hand with proofing the gaps next door.
Leicester has two universities, the University of Leicester and De Montfort University, and Wikipedia notes that a large number of students live in Clarendon Park. Bed bugs spread in luggage, bags and second-hand furniture, so shared houses with frequent changes of tenant are where we see them most; heat treatment is often a single visit for a contained infestation.
The city has a large food and hospitality trade — Belgrave Road's Golden Mile alone is known for its Indian restaurants. Food businesses must keep pests out of their premises, and we provide inspection contracts, cockroach and rodent treatments and fly control for kitchens, takeaways and shops.
Leicester City Council runs a pest control service for rats, mice, cockroaches, wasps, fleas (council properties only). Undated price table, read October 2026, VAT included: rats inside or outside free; mice £90 for two visits then £30 per extra visit; cockroaches the same; wasps £90 plus £30 per extra nest; fleas (council properties only) £90 for up to three bedrooms. Businesses and landlords: £90 per hour plus VAT and materials, one-off call-outs only. Full details are on the council's website.
Use us when you need a quicker visit, a pest the council doesn't treat (such as ants, bees, foxes), commercial cover, or proofing to stop pests getting back in.
