10 Solar panel bird proofing
Posted 19 May
I had a problem with pigeons starting to nest under my solar panels. Taking the Pest responded quickly and managed to fit the job of bird proofing the panels within the week. They did an excellent job, and for a fair price. I would thoroughly recommend them for efficient and professional work.Verified reviewerJob location: CT1010 Very satisfied customer

Job location: CT9Jonty from Taking the Pest was recommended by a colleague from a property networking event i attend. Having a holiday let I like to keep on top of any pest control issues in advance if holiday season. Jonty was quick to respond , explained any issue clearly, came back week later for checks and I am pleased to say no pesky pests and a full report by Jonty given . Recommend him to anyone needing pest advice and action .10 Taking the Pest saves the day!

We were very impressed with the service and standard of care shown by Taking the Pest. We had an infestation of rodents in our loft. Access to the loft in a very old cottage is extremely difficult but Jonty took it all in his stride and within a week the problem had been resolved. The after care service has been exemplary and we would highly recommend this organisation for any pest control issues.Verified reviewerJob location: RG7
