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/

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.
