  • “ Gino was exceptional. Prompt in his response and visits. He was successful in clearing the pests and has arranged the property so it doesn’t have the same issue again. Pricing of the service was fair. He arranged a drainage service that we needed and this was helpful. I would 100% recommend Gino’s services. ”
    Victor Odiase Google review · December 2024
  • “ Amazing service, great guy would highly recommend. We have had an issue in our garage loft where rodents were getting in, I tried traps, baits blocking what I thought were entry points. All of this with no success. I called Urgent Pest Control after reading there Google reviews, Gino visited promptly to carry out a survey and set some traps, luckily whatever was in loft had left as the traps were empty after two weeks of being set. Gino returned today and installed gutter brushes and mesh. Would 100% recommend this company. Thanks again. ”

Local Knowledge

Pests In Leicestershire: What We See

The River Soar flows north through Leicester, where the Grand Union Canal joins it, and then past Loughborough to the Trent. Brown rats favour damp river and canal banks, so homes, yards and food businesses near the water are where we see many of our rat jobs.

Leicester is a big, busy city with two universities, the University of Leicester and De Montfort University, and plenty of shared and rented housing. Bed bugs can spread quickly in flats and student lets, and restaurants, takeaways and shops need protection from cockroaches and mice.

Outside the city, Leicestershire is market towns and farmland, from the Vale of Belvoir around Melton to Charnwood Forest. Homes near fields and woods call us about mice and rats moving indoors after harvest, wasp nests, squirrels in lofts and moles in lawns.

Council Or Private?

Leicester City, Hinckley and Bosworth and North West Leicestershire councils run their own pest control services, Leicester treats rats free, and Charnwood now treats only rats and mice. Melton, Harborough, Oadby and Wigston and Blaby offer no pest treatments, so residents there need a private pest controller.

District and unitary councils, not county councils, deal with pests. Under the Prevention of Damage by Pests Act 1949 they have a duty to keep their area free of rats and mice as far as practicable, and they can require landowners to deal with infestations. Councils don't have to offer a treatment service, though, so what's available, what it costs and which pests are covered varies from one council to the next.

In Leicestershire, that means Leicester City Council and the district and borough councils: Blaby, Charnwood, Harborough, Hinckley and Bosworth, Melton, North West Leicestershire, and Oadby and Wigston. Some offer a paid treatment service, usually for rats and mice, while others no longer treat and refer residents to private firms. Each town page shows what the local council offers.

We can help when you need a faster visit, a pest the council doesn't cover, such as bed bugs, cockroaches or squirrels, proofing, or regular commercial visits. Ask us for a price; we'll explain the likely cost before any work starts.

Not sure which to use? We can usually visit sooner, treat pests councils don't (wasps, bed bugs, birds, squirrels), and seal the gaps they get in through. See our pest control prices.

Google reviews from homes & businesses across the East Midlands

We cover the whole county. Syston, Loughborough and Melton Mowbray are about 40–45 minutes from Southwell, Leicester and Castle Donington about 55, and Hinckley and Market Harborough about 65–70 minutes. We cover all of them, but it's best to book ahead for the further towns.

We inspect every room first, because bed bugs spread between bedrooms and neighbouring flats. Then we use heat treatment (above 56°C, often a single visit for contained infestations), residual insecticide over two or three visits, or both. See bed bug treatment.

Prices depend on the pest, the size of the problem, the property and when you need us. Call or WhatsApp us and we'll give you an idea of cost before we book the visit.

Often, yes, especially if you call early. Treatment takes about 15–30 minutes, and you'll need to keep away from the area for a full day afterwards. Nests are at their peak in August and September, so book early in late summer.
