Why Choose The Exterminator Pest Control?
The Exterminator Pest Control is run by Rob and Alison Smith. We focus on responsive communication, professional treatment and practical advice that helps reduce the chance of pests returning. Rob is RSPH Level 2 qualified and has experience in wastewater and CCTV drainage work, which is particularly useful when rats may be entering through damaged drains or hidden pipework.
Before work starts, we explain the likely treatment, the expected cost and any preparation required. Where pesticides or traps are needed, we place and use them responsibly and provide clear precautions for children, pets and other occupants. No pest treatment can be described as entirely risk-free, so following the technician’s instructions is important.
Pest Control Services in Braintree
Rat and Mouse Control
Rats and mice can contaminate food, damage wiring and insulation, and exploit very small gaps around a building. We inspect for droppings, gnaw marks, runs and likely access points before recommending treatment and proofing. Where drain defects may be involved, a CCTV survey can help locate hidden entry routes.
See our dedicated rat control in Braintree and mouse-control service pages for more detail.
Wasp Nest Treatment
Active nests close to doors, lofts, sheds or busy outdoor areas can present a risk, especially to anyone with an allergy. Our professional wasp-nest treatment is designed to deal with the colony safely and efficiently.
Bed Bugs, Fleas, Moths and Other Insects
Biting insects and fabric pests can spread between rooms and become difficult to remove without a structured plan. We identify the pest, explain preparation and deliver the treatment appropriate to the infestation.
Read about our bed-bug treatments, flea control and moth control services.
Squirrel and Mole Control
Scratching in a loft, disturbed insulation or damage around roof edges may indicate grey squirrels. Moles can create extensive runs and molehills across lawns, gardens and commercial grounds. We assess the signs and recommend lawful, targeted control for the species and setting.
Pigeon and Bird Proofing
Bird fouling, nesting debris and noise can affect roofs, solar panels and commercial buildings. Our pigeon-control and bird-proofing service focuses on preventing access and discouraging birds from problem areas.
Commercial Pest Control
We support shops, offices, hospitality businesses, warehouses, landlords and managing agents with reactive treatment and ongoing pest-management plans. Visit our commercial pest-control page for further information.

Domestic Pest Control in Braintree
Pests in a home can be distressing, but early action usually makes the situation easier to assess and manage. We work in houses, flats, rented homes and managed properties, treating the infestation discreetly and explaining what needs to happen before and after each visit. Landlords and tenants should agree access and responsibilities before an appointment where appropriate.
Commercial Pest Control in Braintree
A pest problem can affect stock, staff, customers and a business’s reputation. We provide one-off treatments and planned pest management for Braintree businesses. Following an inspection, we can document findings, recommend proofing or hygiene measures and agree a monitoring schedule suited to the premises and level of risk.
How Our Pest Control Service Works
- Tell us what you have noticed. Call 01245 358616 and describe the pest, signs of activity and property type.
- Arrange an inspection or treatment. We will offer the earliest suitable appointment and explain any preparation required.
- Receive a clear treatment plan. The technician assesses the evidence, discusses options and confirms the agreed cost before work proceeds.
- Follow-up and prevention. Where follow-up visits form part of the treatment, we explain the schedule and recommend practical proofing, drainage or housekeeping measures.
Common Signs of a Pest Problem
- Droppings, footprints, gnaw marks or greasy rub marks
- Scratching, movement or scurrying sounds in walls, ceilings or lofts
- Damaged food packaging, wiring, insulation, timber or fabrics
- Unusual insect bites, blood spots or dark marks around a bed
- An active wasp nest or repeated wasp activity around one entry point
- Bird fouling, nesting debris, blocked gutters or noise beneath solar panels
- Repeated rat activity that may be connected to drains or defective pipework
Avoid disturbing nests, moving traps or applying several shop-bought products before an inspection, as this can spread activity or make evidence harder to interpret. If there is an immediate risk to people or animals, keep the area clear and call for advice.
Urgent and Out-of-Hours Pest Control
We offer same-day pest-control appointments in Braintree where availability and travel time allow. Urgent or out-of-hours attendance depends on the technician’s schedule and the nature of the problem, so it should not be described as guaranteed 24-hour attendance.
For routine enquiries, call 01245 358616. For an urgent out-of-hours enquiry, call 07565 900774. If anyone is experiencing a serious allergic reaction or medical emergency, call 999.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where is The Exterminator Pest Control based?
We are a family-run company based in Chelmsford and regularly serve customers in Braintree, Bocking and surrounding areas. We do not claim a separate Braintree office.
How quickly can you attend a property in Braintree?
Same-day appointments are often available, but attendance depends on the time of your call, technician availability, travel and the type of pest. We will give you the earliest realistic appointment when you contact us.
Which pests do you treat?
We deal with common household and commercial pests including rats, mice, wasps, bed bugs, fleas, moths, squirrels, moles and pigeons. Call if you are unsure what pest is causing the problem.
Are pest treatments safe around children and pets?
We select and apply treatments responsibly and explain the precautions relevant to the product and property. You may need to keep children or pets away from treated areas for a stated period. Always follow the technician’s written and verbal instructions.
How much does pest control in Braintree cost?
The cost depends on the pest, property, infestation and treatment required. Our published prices provide a starting guide, and we confirm the agreed charge before treatment begins.
Do you charge a call-out fee?
There is no call-out fee when you purchase an agreed treatment. Ask us to confirm what is included when booking, particularly if specialist access, proofing or drainage work may be required.
Do you work with businesses and landlords?
Yes. We provide pest control for homeowners, tenants, landlords, letting agents and businesses, including one-off treatments and ongoing commercial pest-management plans.
Can a CCTV drain survey help with rat problems?
Yes. If rats repeatedly enter a property through drainage defects, a CCTV inspection may identify broken pipes, redundant connections or other hidden access routes. We recommend a survey when the evidence suggests the drains may be involved.
Can you stop pests from returning?
Treatment deals with current activity, while proofing, drainage repairs, food control, waste management and monitoring can reduce future risk. No responsible company can promise that pests will never return, but we will explain the most useful prevention measures for your property.
