Your next port of call is the local council, but it can be the case that the service only gets offered at certain times of the year. Vermin likes to come inside during the winter - in places like under the stairs and the sink.
The downside of dealing with the council is there can often be a wait for the service. It's best to get in fast.
One of the more high profile pest control companies is Rentokil. But be careful because pretty much anyone can call themselves a pest controller. The service you can get varies ( car insurance ) greatly.
All in all, it's often just doing the basics that keeps the mice and rats away.
Keep your house clean, seal up holes and reduce the places ( insurance ) that rats and mice want to nest and you won't have to worry about insurance cover at all.
But remember, if you got rats last winter, it's probably the chance you'll get ( personal loans ) them again. So don't put the job of preventing pests entering the house to the back of your mind. You need to get in there and take control of them - before the pests start taking control of you.
