Pest Control - Mice


MellowYellow

Recommended Posts

Evening all,


Posting as we come to the forum often for recommendations. We did the same when considering who to engage for mouse pest control. As such we are sharing our experience


We had a hideous experience with JG pest control. I saw a mouse and engaged JG Pest Control in Jan 2018 when I saw 6 months pregnant. In short, the promised full survey, trapping and mouse proofing never happened. Traps weren't put down for several visits and only after repeated requests by me. A couple of superficial holes had foam crudely sprayed into them. We continued to have mice for 6 months. As a result of complaining and them acknowledging the service had fallen short we had our 3 month 'guarantee' extended but it made no difference as the technicians were hopeless at managing the problem. Holes weren't spotted, were inadequately filled in and every visit meant another technician spotting another oversight or poor filling work. The reports they filled out were incomplete, staff were rude and dismissive. On one occasion I had to ask the technician to leave and I lodged a formal complaint as he was so aggressive towards me in front of my 18 month old, my friend and her toddler. Eventually, after complaining several times JG refunded me 50% of my costs - but I wasted 7 months dealing with them, not getting rid of the mice and getting incredibly stressed by the whole process. I asked them for their complaints procedure and had this sent to me but they then refused to follow it. I emailed the MD to tell him about our experience with full email correspondence as evidence and he referred me back to the person who had been inadequately dealing with my complaint. All in all a hideous experience, in breach of their agreed service contract. Trading Standards have been made aware.

I have since engaged another firm who resolved the issue in the first visit further demonstrating how utterly useful they are. AVOID AVOID AVOID.

You might like to reference that this is a complaint in your subject header- otherwise it looks to people scrolling through that this is either a recommendation or a question about mice!


So I had a mouse run through my lounge a couple of times last week but I've not seen any sign of him since (he may have been a her)....could you tell us which pest control company did sort your problem out please?

Guys, I had a similar experience with another company that I don't want to name but it's a big company. They claim to be excellent but they wasted three months to get rid of the mice in the house and with no result. They were coming back again and again to place traps and I don't know what and mice kept coming back.


After struggling for so long I called another company. They didn't seem very reliable at first, but they also gave me a much cheaper quote for the first mice treatment than the first company. The guys who came didn't only place traps around the house but also filled some holes that the mice were coming in from, which the guys from the first company didn't do. It took them 3 visits to fully eradicate the mice from the house and it's been one month since their last visit, I haven't seen a single mouse! I really hope this was the end of the mice invasion.


They don't seem like a huge company but have some nice reviews on Google, and I recommend them as well. This is the company https://www.pantherpestcontrol.co.uk/

    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
    • I would also like to add my recommendation for James.  I had taken four names of electricians from the forum - in the order I had read the reviews.  First three no response - even days later. I phoned James this morning. He answered, gave me a time, stuck to it, messaged again 15 mins before arrival.  He fixed my problem on the spot.  Sensible charge out fee. Perfect service.  
    • Most recent polls for the next election suggest it will be a hung parliament, with Reform the largest party by a fair margin. But that is predicated on Reform finding around 300 candidates who are actually electable. Given the number of Reform council candidates who have had to drop out prior to or after the local elections, does that seem likely? Social media is pretty unforgiving when it comes to finding skeletons in cupboards; a retweet or a like seems enough to scupper political ambitions. A few may defect from other parties, but do you think the electorate would really vote for so many brand new MPs from a newish party?  I'm not so sure.
    • To be fair, anything which waylays someone on their way to Palma Nova or Lloret de Mar from spending even more pre-flight time in Spoon's surely has some merit? I think losing a few quid on a litre of Bacardi and 200 Benson & Hedges Gold seems a reasonable price for society to pay. ,
