Frequently Asked Questions

General information

Our services are suitable for landlords/agencies, renting out their property, tenants, home-owners as well as commercial buildings.
We are aware that situations can occur at any time, so we are proud to be able to provide treatments 24/7, including bank holidays. Our client care centre is open for calls 24 hours.
We will need information on your postcode area, the type of pest that has infested the property, the length of time since the infestation started, whether you have attempted to treat the infestation yourself, and where the infestation has been found. Furthermore, we would like to know how parking will be arranged, the payment option you will choose, and your credit or debit card details (if a card payment is selected).
If you have a Fantastic account, you have to log in. You will be able to make any changes regarding your booking. In case you still don’t have one, you can quickly create it at your convenience.
There is usually only one pest controller sent to a property. However, two exterminators could be dispatched depending on the level of infestation and the customised service plan.
Yes, along with wearing uniforms. In case of any suspicions, you are always free to contact the main office to confirm.
Most pests seek food and shelter in your home. They are not attracted by dirtiness but by food and water supplies. Some insects and rodents can fit through the tiniest holes and cracks. This can happen even if you have the cleanest property.
We recommend spraying the bug with hairspray and then putting it in a plastic bag to give to the technician.
Not really. Most of the insecticides and pesticides used in pest control are not available to the general public.
The service is not hourly based, the technician leaves once the job is finished. The amount of time depends solely on the type of pest and level of infestation.
It’s a good idea to have your home inspected. However, it depends on the type of pest. My Neighbour Has Rats! What Can I Do?

Fantastic Pest Control offers a wide range of pest control and prevention services. We successfully treat rats, mice, squirrels, cockroaches, and bed bugs (heat and steam treatment included). Additionally, we offer spray services against crawling and flying insects. Our company also provides dead animal removal services.
Early spring is the best time to have your home sprayed. You can easily destroy nests and colonies early in the year when pest populations are low. Less effort is required, resulting in a more efficient and long-lasting treatment.
Integrated pest management (IPM) aims to minimise pests' infestation by combining different techniques. This program is designed to prevent pest infestations in agricultural settings, homes, gardens or other areas with minimal pesticides. IPM aims to prevent pests or their damages on a long-term basis and has a safe, harmless impact on humans and the environment.

Pest control service related information

We apply insecticides at low concentrations. This means they are strong enough to kill tiny insects but are harmless for people and pets. However, it would be best to keep any pets (fish included) out of the treated premises for a couple of hours until the insecticides settle and dry.
Definitely not. Each pest treatment is tailored to the needs of the client! Our goal is to provide a customised service for each customer and their pest problem.
It depends on what type of pest issue you have. Once we confirm your booking, we will give you full instructions.
Responsible pest control is never practised on pets. This situation should be handled by a veterinarian. For better results, we recommend both a thorough flea fumigation of your property and bringing your beloved pet to your preferred vet.
You should hire a pest exterminator as soon as possible. So, once you notice any signs of a pest infestation such as obnoxious smells, strange or squeaking sounds from the walls, chewed items, faeces, etc.
No, only if you want to be. However, when you book your appointment you must inform us if you won’t be present. Of course, depending on the treatment and location, there would have to be some kind of arrangement to let the exterminator inside the premises.
It’s normal for insect activity to increase right after the treatment – that means it’s working! However, if the problem persists and you still see pests after about seven days, we can offer intensive treatment at unbeatable rates.
It is completely normal to see the corpses of dead insects after the procedure. This is a sure sign that the treatment is working.
Heat treatment is a chemical-free pest control method used to treat bed bugs by raising the temperature of the room. Heat treatment is 100% safe and effective. Our exterminators kill bed bugs with industrial heat machines within one visit!
Rodent infestations and contact with rodents are best prevented by removing food sources, water, and items that provide shelter. Snap traps are an effective way to get rid of rats fast. For best results, look for snap traps that kill rats instantly.

Before and after pest treatment

In case you’ve placed traps or poison on your own, make sure to remove them before the technician arrives. Get rid of all food leftovers and thoroughly vacuum your property.
Don’t keep any exposed food inside and outside your home. Package your household rubbish well, keep lid of your bin closed. Have in mind that your rubbish can attract other pests too – mice and cockroaches, for example. Check the condition of your garden, deal with any overgrown areas.
Place items stored under or on the bed, such as shoes, stuffed animals, toys, books, etc., in open laundry baskets to prepare for heat treatment. You should arrange hanging items so that the space between the items must be large enough for the heated air to circulate.
Remove any pet animals from the property including fish and other tank-dwelling creatures. Hoover all area of the property that are affected. Leave the premises prior to the treatment.
Let the place stay empty for at least two hours so the insecticide can settle. When you return, air out the entire place for about ten minutes. It would be best if you don’t hoover/wash the treated areas for at least five days.
As soon as the treatment is finished, you can begin cleaning. It is important to remove all dead insects and eggs from all your belongings when you are cleaning. Start by vacuuming all soft surfaces thoroughly. Focus on the outside crevasses, which are places where these insects burrow when the heat becomes unbearable.
