10 Bird nest in attick
Posted 11 January
Job location: CO3Brilliant service from Rob at Pest Control. What I thought was a live bird’s nest turned out to be an old, unused (legacy) nest. Rob arrived on time, was very helpful, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything clearly. Highly recommend. - SSalha U
