"I asked Proactive Pest control to survey two properties for bed bugs after I found a very large pest control company very poor and who carried out treatment that that was unnecessary. Paul and James kept me informed as to their arrival. They were very friendly, thorough and incredibly efficient in their inspection. Beds were stripped, bedding examined and the beds were taken apart to examine the bases and the mattresses, every drawer and cupboard was opened and examined for any signs of infestation. Luckily nothing was found and while they would have arranged treatment for our peace of mind their recommendation was to have nothing done so if they do find something you can rely on there really being a problem. We would have no hesitation in calling them in again if we ever had any kind of pest problem. They are the best type of family business with owners and employees all have attended school together and are totally committed to doing a great job. Thoroughly recommended."

"After moving into our house in May, we soon realised we had a serious rat problem in the loft, ceilings and walls. Paul investigated thoroughly and quickly established that the house had been infested for many years. Paul and his team did everything possible to ensure the rats were completely eradicated, explaining that it would be a process of elimination rather than a quick fix. Throughout the seven months, their service was outstanding with constant communication, regular visits, and a clear commitment to getting the job done properly. Paul and his team were professional, knowledgeable, and reassuring from start to finish. We always felt informed and supported, and most importantly, the problem has now been resolved. We would highly recommend them to anyone dealing with a pest issue."

"I cannot recommend Paul and his Company Highly enough. My Business, a Backpacker's Hostel, is in the "High Risk" Category for bed bugs. It only takes one person to bring a bed bug in. We closed down for two days so that they could do a full treatment in the building. Having used another Pest Control Company earlier in the year,, we noticed a MASSIVE difference in how Paul did his heat treatment against theirs. I wish I had discovered Paul back in March this year instead of December!!! Paul is super knowledgeable, will NOT overcharge, will put an After Care package in place with VERY reasonable rates. He actually just came round to do a FULL Survey follow up and spent 3 hours here checking each and every dorm beds in the rooms. Thank You Paul!"
