Thank you for choosing PEST UK.
Our technician will attend between 4:00 pm and 7:00 pm on 05/02/2026 - totally impersonal, no option to contact someone to ask if this is convenient, to top it all the customer services assistant who answered the call when I eventually found the contact number was rude and put the phone down on me. Fortunately the next person, who I understand to have been a director, was far more helpful. Pest UK Customer services staff need some serious education and reminding who pays their wages
