Local knowledge
Why pests take hold in Somerton
If something has got into your property anywhere in Somerton, from Etsome, Hurcot, Kirkham Street and Compton Dundon, we are already nearby. In this town blue lias stone cottages have countless small gaps at roof level, and the surrounding arable land pushes mice in after harvest.
In practice, Somerton keeps us busy with cottage and barn mice, wasp nests in stone eaves and ant trails in old kitchens. You get a written plan, a fixed price and the entry points blocked, and we collect Long Sutton and Charlton Mackrell on the same trip.
We are available 24/7 across TA11 — including wasp nests and rodent emergencies out of hours — with the price agreed before any treatment starts.

What people say
Feedback from Somerton
★★★★
"Saw one on the decking and panicked. Bait stations went in the same day, out of reach of the dog, and he found a broken drain cover we'd never noticed."
★★★★★
"Had a sighting on a Friday night and someone was here Saturday morning — that's the reason we've stayed with them."
★★★★★
"Honest about how long it would take rather than promising one visit. Six weeks on and there's been nothing since."

Somerton pest control FAQs
How quickly can you get to me in Somerton?
We cover TA11 24 hours a day. Wasp nests and rodent emergencies in Somerton are usually attended the same day, and everything else within a day or two — Etsome and Hurcot are on our regular round.
What does pest control cost in Somerton?
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 Somerton before you commit.
Why do I keep getting pests at my Somerton property?
Locally, blue lias stone cottages have countless small gaps at roof level, and the surrounding arable land pushes mice in after harvest. 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 Somerton?
Yes. Blue lias stone cottages round the square and small modern closes beyond is what we see most here, and the market square is pedestrian-heavy at weekends, so weekday slots suit the central properties. 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 Somerton, 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 Somerton before any work starts.
Do you offer emergency pest control in Somerton?
Yes. If you search for emergency pest control or an exterminator near you in Somerton 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 Somerton 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 Somerton and provide a written report either way.
Do you cover the villages around Somerton?
We do — Etsome, Hurcot, Kirkham Street, Compton Dundon and the surrounding lanes are all part of the same TA11 round, along with the rest of South Somerset.
