I needed a wasp nest treating so I thought I... would try Landguard as it is local to me. Martin was very prompt in replying to email enquiry and then came to my house the next day. Martin was a friendly and professional chap who reassured me that he would be able to quickly treat the wasp nest which was hidden in my cavity wall. Despite it being the biggest nest he had been called to this year, within an hour of him leaving there were no more wasps! Money well spent, would highly recommend.read more

I contacted Landguard Pest Control on behalf of... my elderly father who had an infestation of squirrels in his loft. The service we received was absolutely fantastic-really friendly and professional and really helpful with my dad. Due to the current covid -19 restrictions I was worried about someone going in to dads house, however Martin took great care, wearing a mask and gloves and ensured good social distancing. He was really kind to dad and explained everything thoroughly.
I highly recommend Landguard. Thank you!read more
