Pest control website design that starts with the concern

Your pages, the features on them, the final price and the timescale, in writing before you pay a deposit. Hosting, care and any ongoing SEO are listed separately, so you can see what is one-off and what is monthly. On the Business package the first year of hosting and care is included.

Sometimes, under a general licence, and each nation sets its own. Wild birds and their nests are protected by law, and a general licence lifts that only for the birds and purposes it lists. In England, Natural England's GL41 for 2026 covers feral pigeon and Canada goose for public health and safety, and jackdaw and monk parakeet where nesting causes a safety problem; for jackdaws, reasonable efforts with lawful alternatives must come first unless they would be impractical, ineffective or disproportionate. In Wales, NRW's General Licence 002 covers feral pigeon only. In Northern Ireland, DAERA's TPG1 covers feral pigeon and jackdaw, and cannot be used on Sundays or from an hour after sunset to an hour before sunrise. In England, anything GL41 does not cover needs an individual licence from Natural England. Name the birds you deal with and the reason on the site. Nests in tree work are covered on our tree surgeon page.

That you look for bats before treating, and stop if you find them. Natural England's guidance for England says chemical products cannot be used in or near a known bat roost if bats are present, that a thorough search for signs such as fresh droppings comes first, and that householders should call the bat advice helpline before a chemical product is used near a roost. In England and Wales, the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 make it an offence to deliberately disturb a European protected species, which all bats are, or to damage or destroy its breeding site or resting place. Scotland's 1994 Regulations cover deliberate or reckless acts, and Northern Ireland has its own 1995 Regulations. Two lines on the wasp page are enough.

Only with evidence in hand and wording that means what it says. The CAP Code covers your own website across the UK. It says claims a customer would take as objective need documentary evidence held before publication, and that the word guarantee must not be used in a way that could confuse consumers about their rights. CAP's advice separates offering a guarantee, such as a money back promise, from claiming a result is guaranteed, and says marketers who cannot guarantee results should be careful not to imply they can. Write down what a treatment includes, how many visits it covers and what happens if activity carries on.

Not without evidence, and some words are better left off. Under the CAP Code, which covers your own site across the UK, a claim such as pet safe needs evidence, environmental claims need a clear basis, and an absolute claim such as eco friendly needs a high level of substantiation. The Biocidal Products Regulation is stricter for adverts for biocidal products: they must carry the line "Use biocides safely. Always read the label and product information before use." and must not mention non-toxic, harmless, natural, environmentally friendly, animal friendly or anything similar. That is the GB Regulation in England, Scotland and Wales; the EU Regulation applies in Northern Ireland. Whether a pest firm's service page counts as such an advert is not settled, so describe what you do, such as where bait is placed and how it is secured, rather than how safe it is.

Enough for a customer to see why the job needs you. HSE's guidance for Great Britain says professional pest controllers do not need a certificate of competence for biocides in general, but some rodenticides and metal phosphide products can only be sold to and used by professional users with demonstrated competence, who hold specific certification; members of the public should never use professional-only products. For professional anticoagulant and cholecalciferol rodenticides, HSE made compliance with UK rodenticide stewardship a condition of the products' authorisation. The Campaign for Responsible Rodenticide Use runs the stewardship regime, and its code, certification and point of sale checks are the scheme's own rules rather than law. HSE also says to consider non-chemical methods before chemicals, so a rats page can explain proofing and trapping alongside baiting.

Yes, while you hold it, and in a way a customer can check. Under the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024, in force across the UK since 6 April 2025, displaying a trust mark, quality mark or equivalent without the necessary authorisation, or falsely claiming approval or endorsement by a body, is unfair in all circumstances. Membership is the trade body's own scheme. Customers can look a company up by name on the British Pest Control Association's Check a Member page, or search National Pest Technicians Association members by postcode and pest type, so link to the right search and take the mark down if membership ends.
