    HELP!! Big rat hole...under my kitchen wall...into my kitchen

    Posted 15 April

    Steve is the best! Easy, helpful and sorted my scary problem. No nasty poison, no stress, no rats! Don't waste time phoning anyone else. Advised me on blocking up any other places of entry, which there were many. Came back twice to check the traps.

    Rats in the loft

    Posted 14 March

    Having detected rats in our loft, on the recommendation of a neighbour we called out Thames Valley Pest Control. Over an agreed program of three visits Steve laid traps, caught multiple rats, identified where they were coming and fitted a one way flap in the drain to prevent any further infestation. An excellent service by Steve who takes great care to explain what he is doing and why and obviously takes pride in his work, I highly recommend him.
