How much does pest control work cost in the UK?
There is no one price: it moves with your area, the size of the job and what the materials cost that week. As a starting point, this list puts pest control at about £240 a day (pest technician day rate), and the jobs below at the prices shown. A trade using InstaQuote changes every one of these to their own numbers, and the quote prices off those.
- Wasp nest treatment£75 each
- Mouse treatment (3 visits)£220 each
- Rat treatment (3 visits)£260 each
- Bed bug heat / spray treatment (room)£320 each
- What is a typical pest control day rate?
- This list starts at £240 a day (pest technician day rate). Day rates move a lot by area and by how busy the week is, so treat it as a ballpark and price the job, not the day, wherever you can.
- Should a pest control quote be priced per job or per day?
- Per job, wherever you can measure it. A priced line per bit of work is easier for the customer to say yes to, and it protects you if the job grows. Keep the day rate for call outs and work you cannot measure up front.
- Do these prices include VAT?
- No. They are the price before VAT. If you are VAT registered you add VAT on top, and InstaQuote works it out on every quote and invoice, along with CIS and the reverse charge where they apply.
- Are these prices reliable?
- These are starting points, not a rate card. Our own starting estimates, checked September 2026. Your area, your costs and your diary decide the real number, so mark them up or down before you quote off them.
InstaQuote sets a pest control account up with this list already in it. Snap your notes or type the job in, it builds the quote off your rates, then it takes the deposit, books the job, drafts the invoice and chases it.
