K & O pest control

[BrownsPest]

Hi if you haven't already spoke to any Pest Control Company's I'd be happy to help. I come highly recommended on EDF.

Oh it's so horrible isn't it. We used k&o pest control. They were good. They also have a shop in penge- if it happened again I would just go to the shop next time and get loads of poison and bait boxes and put them all over the place. That's what they did and it worked within two weeks.

Hi. Another recommendation for K&O. We had a bad mouse problem which Colin sorted quickly.

There is no need to KILL them!

Poison and traps are inhumane.

Go to toolstation, buy a plug in - it deters rodents and insects using electromagnetic waves that are safe for pets and children.

Much kinder, permanent solution.

[Coach Beth]

I tried everything - including K&O and also the plug in. Nothing worked permanently. The exterminator recommended getting a cat as the best possible permanent solution. I like cats but my partner had never been that keen but feeling downtrodden with the mice and hearing the recommendation from the professional he agreed and off we went to Battersea.

BEST THING WE EVER DID - the cat caught a mouse in her first week! Her scent and prowling of the flat is clearly a deterrent and we haven't seen any sign of mice since her first kill so it's a pretty humane solution (except for her first victim but at least it was a natural death - hopefully over fairly quickly). Partner has been won round and likes the cat and our son is happy to have a pet. There was an item about the Foreign Office adopting a cat and apparently many old government buildings have cats because they are the best and most effective pest control/mouse deterrent there is.

I agree 100% that a cat is the best deterrent for mice but as 2 of my children are severely allergic to them I am stumped with the continuity of paying for pest control. Good luck with keeping yours at bay!
