Most domestic pest control in the UK falls in the region of £50–£250 for a single treatment, but it varies a lot by pest. Wasp nest removal is typically around £80–£200 for one nest; rat control usually runs about £150–£240 across a multi-visit plan, and mouse control around £180–£300; bed bug treatment is the most variable, roughly £300–£900 for a chemical programme over two or three visits, with whole-room heat treatment higher again. Response is often quick — same-day or next-day visits are common for urgent jobs such as wasps. Wherever possible, use a BPCA-member technician: members are trained, insured and audited to a recognised standard. The honest answer is always a range, because it depends on the pest, the size of the infestation and access.
Most pest control prices online are quoted by firms doing the work, so the numbers can be optimistic and the number of visits glossed over. The pages below give honest cost ranges for the common UK household pests, explain how many visits each typically needs, set out how quickly a technician can usually attend, and explain why a BPCA-member firm matters — before you take a single quote.
