Pest Control

Recommended Posts

Last weekend had some rodent problems in our kitchen and following recommendations contacted Craig Brown of Browns Pest Control.


He and his assistant Ed came round quickly, sorted out the problem, sealed a few entry points and checked the rest of the house and loft to make sure everything was ok.


Very friendly, explained how to avoid further problems and was very good value compared to Rentokil and comparable to the Southwark Council service which was quite hard to access.


Would happily recommend Craig who can be contacted on 07989 343136

Another recommendation for Craig Brown. We had a flea problem courtesy of a visiting neighbour's cat(!)and I contacted Craig on the basis of good reviews on this site. He answered my questions in a friendly and comprehensive manner and came round to deal with the problem promptly.


I was concerned that there were still some fleas around a few days later and contacted Craig who explained that the spray would still be working but if there were more fleas in the next day or so then he would come back to respray the property. Thankfully, he was right and we have had no further problems since.


I would thoroughly recommend Craig to anyone experiencing pest control problems. His number is 07989 343136.

Craig is excellent I would thoroughly recommend him. We had issues with rodents from a neighbour's property. With a newborn I was worried and quite scared but Craig was so reassuring, thoughtful and thorough. He offered to deal with next door too and has been happy to provide recommendations following the service.


Rodents all gone thanks to Craig. Hope that helps!

Another shout for Craig brown - great, fast job done. After hearing thumping in our attic and the pitter patter of tiny feet... Craig discovered a hole n our roof where a squirrel was coming in. also plugged all of the mouse holes and so far, so much quieter.


he does follow up cal and follow up service too. Nice friendly local bloke.

I would NOT recommend Craig Brown for pest control. It seems like my experience was similar to others: he came round for a first visit, did some treatments, charged me for a return visit too but then in spite of many many messages and me chasing, he never came back. I still have the problem and am down a lot of money.

We had used Craig twice in the past (based on ED recommendations) and he WAS ok. Two weeks ago, our tenant had spotted mice therefore we called Craig as before. We paid him for a more expensive package that includes a guarantee until end of this year, but we could not get him to come back after the first visit. He kept on giving excuses e.g. daughter in hospital, he will return calls later...etc. Eventually he stopped answering my calls.


A guarantee is worthless if it is not redeemable. Not only we wasted money, we also regretted wasting time on him wishing he could fulfil his end of bargain, causing much stress for us and our tenant. We have moved on to a different pest controller.

We have just finished a 3 part treatment from Critter Solutions Pest Control and would highly recommend their service.


Roger is friendly, trustworthy and professional. He has solved the mice issue at the flat (no more sighting) and guarantees to come back if we see any more mice in the next 18 months.


We can see why Critter Solutions have such glowing reviews at ED Forum and we wish we had used them earlier.

Just wanted to record my bad experience with Craig at Brown's Pest Control. When we first reported the issue, he was very quick to book a time and come round. He appeared to know what he was doing, but I later discovered that the wrong types of baits had been placed out (for rats rather than mice), and that the blocking up of holes was also incredibly shoddy.


This treatment proved ineffectual, and we were not able to contact Craig again despite having paid extra for him to supposedly guarantee a return visit - he started off by making excuses similar to the ones mentioned above, and ended up simply ignoring our phone calls / messages. We ended up having to give up on him and had to pay for another local pest controller.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
