Pest infestations are unpleasant, stressful, and can cause significant property damage. The difference between a BPCA-certified pest technician and a DIY treatment is usually the difference between a resolved infestation and a recurring one.
**How EzeAla identifies your pest**
When you describe your pest problem to Ezra, the AI asks follow-up questions — where did you see it, what time of day, what damage have you noticed — and identifies the most likely pest with high accuracy. This matters because different pests require fundamentally different treatments. A rat treatment uses different baits, techniques, and safety protocols than a bed bug treatment.
**Rodent control**
Rats and mice are the most common urban pest in the UK. A single female rat can produce 40 offspring per year — which is why DIY poison rarely solves the problem. Professional rodent control uses commercial-grade baits, proofing advice (sealing entry points), and follow-up visits to confirm the infestation is resolved.
**Bed bugs**
Bed bugs are among the most difficult pests to eliminate without professional treatment. Chemical treatments require multiple visits. Heat treatment (where the room is raised to 50°C+) is more effective but more expensive. EzeAla pest technicians will advise on the most appropriate treatment for your situation.
**Landlord responsibilities**
Landlords have a legal duty to ensure rented properties are free of pest infestations at the start of a tenancy. Most local authorities can serve improvement notices for properties with rat or mice infestations. EzeAla issues a pest control certificate after treatment — useful for compliance records.
**Typical pest control costs**
- Wasp nest removal: £60–£200 - Rodent treatment (2–3 visits): £150–£350 - Cockroach treatment (3 visits): £200–£500 - Bed bug treatment (chemical, 2 visits): £200–£400 - Bed bug treatment (heat): £400–£800 - Squirrel removal: £100–£300
Frequently asked questions
How do I know what pest I have?
Describe what you've seen, heard, or found to Ezra — droppings, chew marks, sounds in the walls — and the AI will identify the most likely pest and match you to the right specialist.
Is pest control covered by a landlord's maintenance duty?
Generally yes — landlords have a duty to ensure the property is fit for habitation. Pest infestations at the start of a tenancy are typically the landlord's responsibility. Infestations caused by tenant behaviour may fall to the tenant.
