Indicative price table

Pest Run prices are fixed and announced before intervention. No surprises on the bill.

What drives the price up or down?

• Surface area — an apartment costs less than a house
• Infestation level — a few individuals vs a colony settled for months
• Method used — mechanical traps, biocides, or a combination
• Hard-to-reach zones — attics, crawl spaces, technical ducts
• Urgency — 24-hour intervention vs standard slot

The 2 professional methods

1. Mechanical method (biocide-free)

Snap traps or cages placed along travel paths. Safe for children and pets. Ideal for small infestations and sensitive locations (nurseries, schools, restaurants).

2. Biocide method (approved baits)

Secured bait stations containing authorised rodenticides. Out of reach of children and pets. More effective on established colonies. Requires a follow-up visit 14 days later.

What to do before the intervention

• ✅ Identify the suspected entry points (cellars, attics, ducts)
• ✅ Photograph the damage (gnawed cables, droppings) — useful for diagnosis
• ❌ Don't use over-the-counter poisons — they can complicate the diagnosis and shift the problem
• ❌ Don't seal holes before the inspection — the pro needs to see the passages

How long does it take to get rid of them?

With a professional intervention: 7 to 14 days for a moderate infestation, up to 3 weeks for an established colony. The follow-up visit at 14 days confirms full eradication.
