JG Pest Control

JG Pest Control: family-run pest control with UK-wide coverage

JG Pest Control is a British family-run pest control company operating in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, as well as the Republic of Ireland. The firm reports over 15 years in business and a network of 49 local areas served by its own technicians, with same-day response for emergencies in homes and businesses. It emphasises that it does not operate as a call centre: customers deal directly with the team that knows the job.

Certification and professional standard

JG Pest Control's technicians hold the RSPH (BPCA) Level 2 certification in pest management, or are actively working towards it. The company explains that this is the regulated UK qualification for carrying out professional treatments, covering pest biology, safe use of pesticides, legal requirements and integrated pest management. Every treatment includes a service guarantee: if the treated pest returns within the warranty period, the team comes back at no extra cost. That period is typically between 30 and 90 days depending on the pest.

Pests treated

The service catalogue covers the most common pests in the UK, with specific methods for each:

• Rodents: rats and mice, with removal and proofing of entry points to prevent re-infestation.
• Wasps and hornets: same-day nest removal, with in-situ treatment; the nest usually dies off within 24-48 hours.
• Bed bugs: specialist heat treatment, chemical-free, also suitable for fleas and moths.
• Cockroaches: commercial-grade treatment for homes and businesses.
• Squirrels: professional trapping and loft proofing.
• Ants, spiders, fleas, bees, ladybirds, caterpillars, moles, rabbits, flies, moths, woodworm, silverfish and dead animal removal.
• Birds: netting, spikes and deterrent systems, including solar panel proofing.
• Foxes: humane deterrence and exclusion.

Commercial services

The company offers pest management contracts tailored to restaurants, hotels, offices, warehouses and retail premises. These contracts include regular inspections, documentation for Environmental Health Officer (EHO) compliance and 24/7 emergency cover.

Discretion and safety
