Hounslow Council

I run a pest control company called PEST UK. This is a mid sized pest control company. We have 12 pest control technicians covering the South Central areas of England. Our coverage area has been expanding in recent years and we now have pest control offices in Hounslow, Feltham, Harrow and Northwood. PEST UK has been trading under the same ownership for over 25 years. We know how much pest control operations cost and what to charge to make a profit. In a lot of the London areas it is plain to see that these councils are using pest control to generate a great deal of profit from the actual people they are meant to serve. Hounslow council charge double the price for some pests that PEST UK charge. The only time you will get good value from Hounslow Council pest control department is if you are on benefits, then the price is dramatically cut or free. If you do a search on Google for ‘pest control in Hounslow’ then the front page (including very expensive ‘pay per click’ spaces is taken up by Hounslow Council’s pest control department. Again at PEST UK we understand internet (& particularly Google) advertising and the costs it can take to get listed on the front page. To dominate the first page in Google the way they have must cost many tens of thousands of pounds.

Another issue is training and standards. PEST UK is a full member of the BPCA (The British Pest Control Association) and we are inspected for insurance, training, complaints procedures, annual refresher training and Criminal Record checks (CRB). Hounslow council are not members of the BPCA. PEST UK is also a member of the ‘Trading Standards Approved’ organisation.
The bottom line is that they (Hounslow Council) are providing an expensive poor quality service (they don’t work weekends, evenings, early mornings or Bank Holidays, they only answer the phone during the council’s ‘office hours’) to subsidise their income. They are also squeezing out private companies who most can offer a cheaper, higher quality pest control service.
