Pests out. Calm back in.
Hull’s family-run pest control specialists for over 15 years. Fully qualified, fully insured, and straight with you from the very first call — whether it’s scratching in the loft or pigeons under your solar panels.
Pick your pest.
We’ll take it from there.
Ten specialisms, one local team. Every job starts with a proper survey — because treating what you can see without finding how they got in only ever buys you a few weeks.
The APF Pest Check
Most people ring up not really knowing what they’ve got, how bad it is or what it should cost. That’s an uncomfortable place to start from — so we built something to fix it.
Six quick questions about what you’ve seen, heard and how long it’s been going on. You get a severity score, the health and property risks that actually apply to your situation, the treatment plan we’d recommend and a realistic guide price. No sales pressure, no obligation.
- Identifies the likely pest from the signs you describe
- Scores urgency across four levels, from routine to urgent
- Flags the real risks — fire, contamination, structural, legal
- Gives a guide price and visit count before you commit to anything
Which of these have you seen?
Select everything that applies.
Four steps.
No mystery, no jargon.
You’ll know what we’ve found, what we’re doing about it and what happens next — at every stage.
One call, honest answers
Tell us what you’ve seen. We’ll tell you straight away whether it sounds urgent, roughly what it’ll cost and how quickly we can get to you. If it’s something you can sort yourself, we’ll say so.
A proper survey, not a glance
We identify the species, gauge how established the problem is and — crucially — find how they’re getting in. Discreet, unmarked arrival if you’d prefer; plenty of our customers do.
Targeted treatment
The right method for your situation — trapping rather than poison where there are children or pets, humane relocation for bees, physical proofing for birds. Always safe, always legal, always explained first.
Proofing and follow-up
We close the entry points, return until activity has stopped and leave you with a written report. Treating the symptom without proofing the property is why so many pest problems come back.
Mesh proofing fitted in Hull — no drilling, warranty intact
Pigeons under your solar panels?
That warm, sheltered gap beneath your array is exactly what a pigeon is looking for. Once they nest, output drops, fixings corrode, gutters block and mites can find their way into your loft.
- Nests, fouling and debris cleared from under the array
- Panels washed down where soiling has hit generation
- Clip-fixed mesh — not a single hole drilled, warranty untouched
- Photographed on completion, with a workmanship guarantee
Why people keep our number
Pest work is uncomfortable enough without being left in the dark about what’s happening in your own home.
Genuinely family-run
Not a franchise and not a call centre. The person who answers the phone is the person who turns up — and that accountability changes how a job gets done.
We turn up when we say
Agreed time slots, a call before we set off, and a straight answer if we’re running late. Sounds basic. It’s the thing customers thank us for most.
Humane wherever we can be
Bee swarms relocated with local keepers. Trapping instead of poison around children and pets. Physical proofing for birds rather than repeat treatments.
Discreet by default
Plain vehicles, no branded overalls at the door if you’d rather. Landlords, letting agents and food businesses use us for exactly this reason.
Written up properly
A clear report on what was found, what was used and what needs doing. Essential if you’re facing an EHO visit, a hygiene audit or an insurance claim.
Featured in the Hull Daily Mail
Fifteen years of local work, a five-star reputation built one job at a time, and neighbours who pass our number on. That’s the whole marketing strategy.

Things people ask us first
Can’t see your question? Use the live chat in the corner, or just ring — you’ll get a person, not a menu.
For anything urgent — wasps near a doorway, rats indoors, a bird trapped in a building — we aim to be with you the same day across Hull and the surrounding area. Non-urgent work is usually booked within 48 hours. We run a 24/7 emergency line all year.
Wasp nests start around £60 for a single visit. Rodent work typically runs £85–£150 for a full course of two or three visits including proofing. Bird proofing and solar panel work is quoted after a survey because it depends entirely on the roof. You’ll always have a price before we start — and the Pest Check gives you a realistic guide in 60 seconds.
Yes — and we adapt the method to suit. Where there are young children or pets we’ll usually favour trapping and tamper-resistant stations over loose bait, and we’ll walk you through exactly where everything is, what to keep clear of and for how long.
Only as an absolute last resort. Bees are protected pollinators, so our first step is always to identify the species and see whether the colony can safely stay put or be collected and rehomed by a local beekeeper. Treatment is reserved for cases where there’s a genuine safety risk and relocation simply isn’t possible.
We do — pubs, restaurants, shops, warehouses, letting agents and property managers across the region. That includes scheduled monitoring contracts, written reports for hygiene audits and EHO visits, and discreet unmarked attendance where a branded van at the door would be unhelpful.
Not if the entry points get closed. That’s the part cheaper jobs skip. We proof as standard on rodent and bird work, and we’ll be honest with you about anything structural — a gap under a garage door, a broken air brick, an open roof edge — that needs sorting to keep them out for good.
Pests don't wait. Neither do we.
Tell us what you've seen and we'll tell you honestly what's involved, what it costs and how fast we can be there.
