Abbey Pest Control Reading are an independent, family-run pest control business operating in and around Reading, Newbury and Berkshire. With over 7 years' experience in pest control, and a background in property maintenance, we are fully equipped to help you eradicate any pest problems you encounter.
We offer a professional but efficient service and pride ourselves on going above and beyond the standard pest control solutions many of the larger, national pest control companies are able to offer. As we are an independent local business we have lower overheads and more time to tackle the route cause of any infestations you find in your home.
All of our treatments are tailored to your specific needs, we don't offer a fixed number of visits per treatment and we do not simply throw poisons at a problem. Instead we survey all of the property on our first visit to identify possible entry points and carry out remedial proofing works as part of the agreed treatment price.

Unlike the endangered red squirrel, grey squirrels are a non-native and invasive species and are a prevalent pest throughout Reading and Berkshire. They are mostly herbivorous but will also eat birds' eggs and hatchlings if food is scarce. Grey squirrels can be a destructive and unwelcome guest if they find a way into your home and can cause significant damage to a property if left untreated.
The most common species of mice likely to be found in homes in Reading, Shinfield, Newbury and Berkshire are house mice; they are extremely good climbers, jumpers and swimmers and can fit through the smallest of holes. They range from light to dark brown in colour and, once they have gained access to your property, will seek suitable shelter in close proximity to a food source.
Fleas can be a right pain in the ankles for any home or business around Reading, Shinfield, Newbury and around Berkshire that has pets, especially dogs and cats.
Owning a cat and a dog myself, I know the importance of staying on top of flea treatments to keep any chance of an infestation low, most of these treatments can be obtained from pets stores or your local vet; however, it is still possible for your pets to pick up fleas and they can easily spread throughout your home or business once inside.Fleas can be picked up in a multitude of ways, from pet to pet contact or walking through long grass.

Rural house, small family of field mice booked into our loft space for the winter season... Mike came out super quick, treated the issue without chemicals. Traced back to where they had found a way in and evicted the unwanted guests. Highly recommended.

We were at wits end with a carpet moth infestation when we found Mikes services. It was not an easy job to sort out as we had small pets which meant we were concerned about using chemical treatments in the house. Mikes approachable, knowledgeable and professional service really put us at ease and the problem was solved quickly before too much damage was done. We were also very pleasantly surprised at the price! (another factor why we had delayed seeking professional help for so long to the detriment of our carpets)

Exceptional service from their experienced pest control team. Service was 5 star through to the first point of telephone conversation all the way through to finishing what had to be done.
Abbey Pest Control are way above other companies I have used around the reading area and I can honestly say if you need them you won’t be disappointed! In fact you will call them at first point like many others.
Thank you for all your help and advice!

Called Mike in a bit of a panic as wasps were constantly coming in through the bathroom window and dispersing across the house. Mike came round the very next day and treated a hole in our brickwork near the window where the wasps had nested. Told me to keep an eye out over the next few days, and he'd come out again if there was continued activity - happy to say there wasn't! Thank you!

Excellent service. Had a rat problem which my neighbour and I shared. Abbey came out on the day I called, did what was necessary, but what I wasn’t expecting was that they came back.... time and time again. They weren’t going to leave until the job was done and they didn’t. I kept wondering who was in my garden when I saw them in there checking. ... they were really low key, they don’t ask for favours, so they deserve this review. They’re gentlemen pest controllers with a work ethic. You can’t go wrong

We called Abbey Pest Control to help deal with pigeons nesting above our cars at work, they gave us a free quote and a number of options to choose from to tackle the problem.
Once instructed they attended within 2 days to install spikes and netting and were significantly cheaper than the other company who quoted. Really happy with the work, the nets are discreet and tidy and our staff are much happier now they have to clean their cars less often!!
