"I phoned PGM when we spotted a rat in our garden. Phil was so pleasant to deal with a professional. He sent Mark round the next day and he did an assessment and quote which was half the price of the national pest control companies. Mark has effeciently dealt with the problem and the whole process was quick, easy and good value for money. I can't rate this company highly enough."

Rats pose serious health risks by spreading diseases such as leptospirosis (Weil’s disease), salmonella, listeria, hantavirus, toxoplasma, and rat-bite fever through urine, droppings, bites, or contaminated food and water.
Infestations can lead to gastrointestinal illness when residents or staff consume or handle food or water exposed to rat activity.
Rat urine, droppings, and dander are potent allergens that can trigger or worsen asthma and respiratory issues, particularly in vulnerable groups like children and older adults.
Ongoing rat problems are linked to stress, anxiety, sleep disturbance, and mental health concerns for property occupants.
Rats gnaw on electrical wiring, pipework, insulation, and structural timbers, increasing the risk of electrical fires and causing leaks or structural damage.
Burrowing behaviour can undermine foundations, floors, and outbuildings, especially in rural and farm properties common in Herefordshire.
Flooding in Herefordshire can drive rats from sewers and riverbanks into nearby homes and businesses, raising the risk of disease and contamination if infestations are not controlled quickly.
Prompt professional rat control, entry point proofing, waste management, and good hygiene practices are essential to reduce health risks and comply with UK health and safety and food hygiene regulations.
Unfortunately rats and mice live wherever humans live. All rodents have a remarkable ability to adapt and survive. As they forage for food, they will inadvertently contaminate food storage areas, and damage buildings, and other property by their constant gnawing and burrowing. They also can spread diseases to people and pets.

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.
