What does a pest controller do?
Treatment for rats, mice, wasps, fleas, and ants by vetted, insured pest control technicians. Discreet callouts across Ireland.
Pest control specialists identify, treat, and prevent pest infestations in homes and gardens — rats, mice, wasps, fleas, bedbugs, cockroaches, ants, moths, and pigeons. A professional pest control treatment starts with a diagnostic inspection to identify the pest, its entry points, and harbourage, followed by the appropriate treatment — baits, traps, residual insecticide, or fumigation — and practical prevention advice: sealing entry points, eliminating food sources, and addressing harbourage. Most domestic pest issues are resolved in 1–3 visits over 2–4 weeks, with a follow-up visit to confirm clearance. Discreet callouts are standard practice for domestic pest work.
Pest control in Ireland is regulated — operators using restricted-use rodenticides need PCS (Pesticides Control Service) registration. Reputable companies hold British Pest Control Association (BPCA) or National Pest Technicians Association (NPTA) membership and use technicians trained in pest biology, not just spray-and-pray. Be wary of extreme low-cost operators — pest treatment that doesn't address the cause leads to re-infestation, and using the wrong chemicals around children or pets is dangerous. A competent pest controller will ask about household composition, explain what they're applying and why, and set out the visit schedule in an itemised quote before any work starts.

How much does a pest controller cost in Ireland?
Indicative pricing — your actual quote will vary
Pest control pricing depends on the pest type, the severity of the infestation, and the number of visits needed to confirm clearance. The figures below are indicative Irish ranges — treat them as a guide, not a fixed price, and insist on an itemised quote before any treatment starts.
A mouse or rat treatment (typical 2–3 visits to bait and confirm clearance) runs €180–€340 total. Wasp nest removal is €80–€140 per nest. Bedbug treatment (full house, 2–3 visits including heat or chemical treatment) is €450–€900. Flea treatment of a 3-bed semi is €180–€280. Cockroach treatment (commercial-strength baits, 2–3 visits) is €280–€500. Inspection and survey only (no treatment) is typically €80–€150. Annual prevention contracts (regular visits, monitoring) start at €280 per year. Where a quote lands within these ranges depends on property size, access, and how established the infestation is — a mouse problem caught early costs less to clear than a colony that has been feeding for months.
These are indicative ranges based on typical Irish jobs. Final pricing depends on scope, materials, and urgency. On Jobiit your matched trader sends one fully itemised quote (labour, materials, VAT) so there are no surprises.

Pest Controller FAQs
Why do I have mice all of a sudden?
Mice typically move indoors when external food becomes scarce (autumn) or when their existing harbourage is disturbed (nearby construction, demolition). Common entry points: gaps under doors, holes around utility pipes, vents without rodent mesh, gaps in roof tiles. Once one mouse finds food and shelter, others follow. Treatment combines baiting (eliminate the colony), inspection (find entry points), and proofing (seal gaps). DIY traps catch some but rarely clear an established infestation.
Should I attempt DIY pest control first?
For ants and small wasp nests in inaccessible places, OK — DIY products work. For rats, mice, bedbugs, fleas, cockroaches, professional treatment is more reliable and faster. Reasons: identification matters (different mouse species, different baits), product strength (professional baits work where supermarket products don't), and proofing knowledge (catching is half the battle, sealing is the other half). DIY for established infestations often delays the inevitable professional call while the problem worsens.
Is it safe with kids and pets?
Yes when done by a competent professional. Modern rodenticides are placed in tamper-resistant bait boxes inaccessible to children and pets. Insecticides used indoors are typically low-toxicity actives applied to surfaces children don't touch (skirting boards, behind appliances). Always tell the technician about children and pets in advance — they adjust products and placement. Avoid operators who don't ask about household composition before quoting.
Will treatment damage my house?
No, professional treatment is non-destructive. Bait stations are placed and removed; surface insecticides leave no residue beyond a few weeks; fumigation (very rare in domestic settings) is only used for severe specific cases. The exception is bedbug heat treatment, which heats rooms to 50°C+ and can affect candles, plastics, and electronics — your technician will advise on what to remove first. Standard treatments leave no marks, no smells after 24 hours, no damage.
How long does treatment take to work?
Wasp nest: 1–3 days for full die-off. Mice and rats: 1–3 weeks for complete elimination. Fleas: 2–4 weeks (eggs hatch over time, requiring follow-up treatment). Bedbugs: 2–6 weeks for full clearance, often requiring 2–3 visits. Cockroaches: 4–6 weeks for established infestations. Most treatments include a follow-up visit at 2–3 weeks to confirm clearance and re-treat if needed. Reputable companies guarantee clearance within a defined window.
