We need to explain our terms and conditions as it's important for the work we carry out and sometimes you will have responsibilities as well.
Refunds will be given, but an administrative charge of £29 will be deducted when:

- adequate preparations have not been carried out and the Pest Control Officer is unable to treat
- an active infestation cannot be found or treatment cannot legally be undertaken
- you cancel your appointment with less than one day's notice.
However, no refund will be given if:
- the treatment or baiting has commenced
- you fail to undertake works, carry out proofing or adhere to the Pest Control Officers' recommendations and as a result, we need to stop treatment.
- you cancel your appointment with less than 24 hours' notice.
If we are unable to fulfil an appointment due to reasons beyond our control and a suitable alternative appointment can't be arranged then a full refund will be offered.
