Local knowledge
Why pests take hold in Backwell
If something has got into your property anywhere in Backwell, from Farleigh, Downside, West Town and Chelvey, we are already nearby. In this town large gardens, mature trees and the lake bring squirrels and rats close to the house, especially in autumn.
In practice, Backwell keeps us busy with loft squirrels, garden rats and wasp nests in mature tree lines. You get a written plan, a fixed price and the entry points blocked, and we collect Church Town and Station Road on the same trip.
We are available 24/7 across BS48 — including wasp nests and rodent emergencies out of hours — with the price agreed before any treatment starts.

Backwell pest control FAQs
How quickly can you get to me in Backwell?
We cover BS48 24 hours a day. Wasp nests and rodent emergencies in Backwell are usually attended the same day, and everything else within a day or two — Farleigh and Downside are on our regular round.
What does pest control cost in Backwell?
There is no call-out charge. A technician surveys the property, tells you what the problem is and quotes a fixed price before any treatment starts, so you know the full cost in Backwell before you commit.
Why do I keep getting pests at my Backwell property?
Locally, large gardens, mature trees and the lake bring squirrels and rats close to the house, especially in autumn. That is why we proof as well as treat — blocking the entry points is what stops the problem coming back a few months later.
Do you work on older or listed buildings in Backwell?
Yes. Large detached homes with long drives and mature gardens is what we see most here, and gravel drives and gated entrances suit a van, and big roof spaces mean longer loft inspections. We work with the building rather than against it and use discreet, matching proofing where it is visible.
Are your treatments safe around children and pets?
Yes, when used properly. Rodent baits go into tamper-resistant stations out of reach, insecticides are applied by a trained technician, and you are told exactly how long to keep the room clear and what to do afterwards.
How much does pest control cost in Backwell, and is it cheaper than the council?
Council pest control teams charge per treatment, usually run weekday office hours and often have a waiting list. We are out 24/7, there is no call-out charge, and the fixed price is agreed with you in Backwell before any work starts.
Do you offer emergency pest control in Backwell?
Yes. If you search for emergency pest control or an exterminator near you in Backwell at 10pm, someone answers. Wasp nests, rats indoors and pests in a food business are treated as same-day jobs.
Is my landlord or me responsible for pest control in a Backwell rental?
Generally the landlord is responsible where the problem comes from the building — holes, drains, shared roof spaces or an issue that existed when you moved in — and the tenant where it comes from how the property is being used. We work for landlords, agents and tenants in Backwell and provide a written report either way.
Do you cover the villages around Backwell?
We do — Farleigh, Downside, West Town, Chelvey and the surrounding lanes are all part of the same BS48 round, along with the rest of North Somerset.
