United Dorset Pest Control

We recently moved to the area and, upon waking on Sunday 23rd June morning, we found that a swarm of bees had established home between the facia and wall of the house. After explaining the situation to various members of the Dorset Bee Keeper's Association, Rodger and Paul (United Dorset Pest Control) were recommended to us; within 2 hours on that Sunday, Rodger had come around & investigated the swarm. We wanted, if at all possible, to save the bees (as did Rodger) so we didn't proceed to any conclusion as we were at that point not able to access where the bees had settled, so we agreed that Rodger or Paul would come back on Monday, which they did. Paul then investigated up the ladder amongst the bees! Again, they could not work out a way of saving them as it was a complicated swarm and revisited until there was no option but to destroy the swarm, much to everyone's sadness. Following this unavoidable event, Paul visited the house several times to ensure that the bees had been, sadly, destroyed, all at no extra cost. Unbelievably, as the icing on the cake, we found a wasps nest on Saturday 2nd July so contacted Paul, who came around the following day. He established where the wasps were coming in, came back on Monday and destroyed the wasp's nest. We cannot recommend United Dorset Pest Control more highly; they are warm, caring professionals demonstrating all the attributes that only a small family run business can. Their knowledge and genuine care is exemplary.

We have used Rodger and Paul at various times over the last nine years. They have helped us with hornets nests, moles, deer and squirrels. A friendly family business who are efficient, knowledgeable and experienced. I can wholeheartedly recommend them.

Roger and his son, Paul are second to none. We were fobbed off by another, what we thought were a “local” pest control business only to find out they were nationwide (the problem with the internet nowadays.) I found Roger’s number having been recommended it by other beekeepers from the Beekeepers’ Association and so glad I went through that route. We would have preferred to rehouse the bees but it was not possible as they had already formed a hive inside our working chimney. I phoned Roger on Saturday and he came one hour later. He needed special equipment so came back another hour later and he did all he could that day. He told me his son would return on Monday to fix a mesh wire to the chimney and true to his word, Paul (and Roger) arrived first thing this morning. The job was finished. They fully explained what they had done. Very friendly, very efficient and a great sense of humour! Very reasonable price. Two thirds cheaper than our original quote from the other charlatans. I’ve even managed to bag some honey from the bees he keeps! Win win.

Called United Dorset Pest Control who responded promptly. Roger attended our cottage at very short notice to treat an ant infestation. He explained in detail the measures he was going to use to eradicate the ants. He left the area clean and tidy. I would recommend him highly and definitely use his services again if required.

Rodger and his son were very professional and polite with an immediate response. Very pleased with the work and a reasonable charge. Would definitely use them again if needed.

Friendly team, told us their plans and updated us each visit so we felt reassured and less stressed about the mice problem. Also knew we could contact them between visits. They kept coming back to work on the problem until resolved. Always prompt at the arranged times so didn’t cause any disruption or delays. They checked for all possible entrance places and then filled these in. Excellent service!

Paul and Rodger were quick to survey the area and provide advice on next steps and options available. Paul was able to use his skills as a carpenter to access under the floors and decking to check for problems and returning it to its previous state! Happy to recommend, very helpful, good communication and know their stuff!

We called Rodger to investigate suspected bed bugs. He and Paul managed to fit us in on the same day of us calling. Once on site they did a thorough inspection of the house including taking one bed apart and checking carpets , skirting boards and bedding. They found nothing, so gave us the 'all clear'. Excellent, knowledgable and fast service and we weren't charged as no remedial work was carried out. Thoroughly recommended.

This is the second time that I have used United Pest Control and have found Roger and Paul to be very helpful and conscientious in their work. I can’t thank them enough for the number of visits that they had to make to the property to complete the job. Appointments to visit were always made and kept. I would not hesitate in recommending them.

I have contacted Rodger and his son Paul previously and wouldn't hesitate to contact them in the future. I wouldn't consider using anyone else. Due to a neighbouring property, I had a rat in my loft. Rodger paid a third and final visit to my house this morning and gave me the all clear. Now I can sleep at night. Rodger is thorough, professional, always on time and certainly knows his stuff. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Roger and he certainly deserves five stars. I'd give him ten if I could. Thank you Rodger for doing a great job.
