About Pest Free Home

PestFreeHome is different to other web shops for pest control products in a number of ways:

We aim to sell to consumers rather than to trade purchasers. We do not sell products in bigger packs than you need for a PestFreeHome, so you will only have smaller quantities to store in a safe place at home.

We also want you to be able to select from natural or non chemical options. However all the chemical products available from PestFreeHome are approved under UK Government legislation for use for you to have a PestFreeHome.

To help you get the best results, with most products there is a specific tip from Richard, David or Rob our pest control experts. Read more about them below. We also offer the only insect identification service currently available on the web, but if you still feel you need to ask us any questions then please email us at info@pestfreehome.co.uk

From our experience we know there are some pest control activities for which it is better for a homeowner to call in a professional pest control company, for example dealing with a wasp nest, squirrels in a loft or a heavy infestation of bed bugs. To help you with this, we have a link to the members' directory of the British Pest Control Association to find a member local to you.

Finally, PestFreeHome has been developed by experienced professionals from the pest management industry who, like you, want to have a PestFreeHome. They want to share their specialist knowledge and experience to help you have a PestFreeHome too.
