Not sure whether fumigation, fogging, or chemical spraying is right for your property? Our RSPH-certified pest control experts can assess your property, identify the type and severity of infestation, and recommend the safest, most effective treatment tailored to your needs.
Professional pest control treatments — including fumigation, fogging, and chemical spraying — are used to control and eliminate pest infestations using gas, fine mist, or targeted surface insecticides. Depending on the pest type and setting, the area may be sealed or controlled so treatment can penetrate cracks, voids, and hidden harbourage points. Each method includes managed application, contact or exposure time, and safety checks before the space is returned to use.
Inspect the site and identify the pest and affected areas
Choose the correct method: fogging, fumigation, or chemical spraying
Prepare the space by protecting sensitive items and managing safe access
Apply the selected treatment method
Fogging disperses a fine insecticidal mist
Fumigation uses controlled fumigant gases in sealed spaces
Chemical spraying targets specific surfaces and pest harbourage areas
Ventilate or allow treated areas to dry as required
Carry out safety checks before re-entry
Provide aftercare advice and recommend any follow-up treatment if needed

Every pest control situation is unique. The treatment required for your property depends on several factors including the size of your property and the extent of the problem you’re facing. Because no two jobs are the same, we don’t publish standard prices – instead, we provide you with a personalised quote based on your specific circumstances.
When you contact PGM, we’ll discuss your pest issue and gather the details we need to give you an accurate quote. Our quotes are fixed-price with no hidden charges or unexpected costs – what we quote is what you pay. In certain situations, we may recommend a property inspection before finalising your quote. This allows us to properly assess the situation, and ensure we recommend the right treatment approach. If an inspection is necessary, we’ll explain this to you and let you know whether there’s any charge involved.
Most residential fumigation jobs take one to two days, depending on the size of the property and the level of infestation. Your home may need to remain vacant during treatment to ensure safety and thorough pest eradication.
Yes, when carried out by licensed technicians, fumigation is managed under strict safety protocols. Pets and children must be kept away from treated areas until it’s safe to re-enter, as advised by the technician.
In many parts of Herefordshire and Worcestershire, same-day or next-day fumigation can be arranged, depending on technician availability and pest type. Phoning early in the day increases your chances of same-day service.
Fumigation is most effective against fleas, wood-boring insects, cockroaches, bed bugs, stored-product insects, and certain rodent infestations where traditional sprays or traps are less effective. It targets every stage of pest life cycles within enclosed areas.
