Local knowledge
Why pests take hold in Wells
Wells is covered by technicians who know it: Wookey Hole, Coxley, Dulcote and Keward are on the round most weeks. Locally the cathedral moat, the springs and the older stone properties keep rats and mice moving through the centre in autumn.
Around the Cathedral and Vicars' Close the regular work is mice in period cottages, rats in cathedral-quarter drains and wasp nests in guest houses. Because listed and conservation-area buildings limit what can be fixed to the fabric, so proofing is done discreetly in matching materials, we plan the visit properly instead of turning up and spraying, and East Wells and Haybridge are on the same route.
Every BA5 visit is carried out by a qualified, insured technician using professional products, with discreet unmarked vans and advice you can actually follow afterwards.

What people say
Feedback from Wells
★★★★
"Scratching above the bedroom for weeks. He found where they were getting in at the eaves, sorted it, and the noise stopped after the second visit."
★★★★★
"Prepared the room exactly as instructed and it worked. He checked the frame and the headboard properly rather than just spraying the mattress."
★★★★★
"Second summer we've had one in the same corner. This time he proofed the gap afterwards, which nobody had bothered to do before."

Wells pest control FAQs
How quickly can you get to me in Wells?
We cover BA5 24 hours a day. Wasp nests and rodent emergencies in Wells are usually attended the same day, and everything else within a day or two — Wookey Hole and Coxley are on our regular round.
What does pest control cost in Wells?
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 Wells before you commit.
Why do I keep getting pests at my Wells property?
Locally, the cathedral moat, the springs and the older stone properties keep rats and mice moving through the centre 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 Wells?
Yes. Period stone cottages in the centre and 1960s-80s housing out towards Keward is what we see most here, and listed and conservation-area buildings limit what can be fixed to the fabric, so proofing is done discreetly in matching materials. 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 Wells, 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 Wells before any work starts.
Do you offer emergency pest control in Wells?
Yes. If you search for emergency pest control or an exterminator near you in Wells 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 Wells 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 Wells and provide a written report either way.
Do you cover the villages around Wells?
We do — Wookey Hole, Coxley, Dulcote, Keward and the surrounding lanes are all part of the same BA5 round, along with the rest of Mendip.
