Pest Control in Cambridge
Cambridgeshire · 28 miles from base
Cambridge sits right at the edge of our thirty-mile radius, twenty-eight miles from our base in Hockwold — the furthest town we cover, and one we’re honest about rather than over-promising on. When a job is genuinely in reach we treat it exactly the same as anywhere closer to home; we just won’t pretend to cover ground we can’t actually get to quickly.
The city’s mix of college gardens, terraced streets and newer estates brings a fairly even spread of work: wasp nests in older rooflines and student housing through the summer, mole activity in college grounds, allotments and larger gardens, and solar panel proofing on the newer-build estates where pigeons treat the gap under an array as ready-made shelter. Fumigation isn’t something we currently offer this far out — for stored-product and structural work at that scale, call and we’ll be straight with you about whether it’s practical from our end.
We’re a father-and-son business based in Hockwold, not a national dispatch service — the same two people you speak to on the phone are the ones who turn up, wherever the job is. Given the distance, we’ll always confirm we can actually reach you and give an honest timescale before booking anything in, rather than let you down on the day. Wasp nest removal is priced as a single fixed fee regardless of distance; mole work is quoted once we know the scale of the ground involved.
We cover the city and the nearer villages — Histon, Milton, Cherry Hinton, Trumpington and Fulbourn — on the same basis. If you’re not sure whether you’re within reach, call and we’ll check the distance with you before anything’s booked, rather than leave you guessing or turn you away without an answer.
Solar panel proofing in particular has become a steady job here — Cambridge has some of the highest solar uptake in our area, and the city’s terraced streets, college housing and newer estates put a lot of panels on roofs that feral pigeons treat as ready-made shelter. Clearing an already-occupied array and fitting the permanent mesh is usually a single visit, done without drilling into the panels or the roof.
