What to look for in a Brighton pest control company
Brighton packs a lot into a small space: Regency terraces and basement flats, the busy hospitality trade of the seafront and the Lanes, and a large student population in shared houses. Older buildings, food businesses and a steady turnover of tenants all shape the local pest picture, so it pays to compare providers carefully.
- Verified reviews: a big base of independent, checkable feedback tells you far more than a few selected quotes on a website.
- RSPH (BPCA) Level 2 technicians: insist on a properly qualified technician who applies treatments safely in homes, kitchens and public-facing premises.
- Quick response: a provider with technicians regularly working your area can reach you sooner and knows the local problems.
- A guarantee: the work should be backed so that if a pest returns, so does the technician.
- Free, no-obligation advice: an upfront inspection means the plan is based on your actual situation, not guesswork.
- Local coverage: a team familiar with Brighton and Hove, from Kemptown and the Lanes to Hove, Preston Park and the student areas around Moulsecoomb, who know the local pest picture.

How these figures are counted: Based on paid jobs recorded in the group’s central job system, November 2025 to October 2026, across JG Pest Control, PestGone, The Pest Control Co, Ace, Wasps Removal, Bed Bugs Gone and Mice Pest Control. Nightshift’s contract work is recorded separately and is not included. Each paid order is counted once and grouped by the postcode area of the site treated (a postcode area does not match county or city boundaries exactly). Rat and mouse counts are minimums.
Common pests we treat in Brighton
Rats are a frequent call-out, in terraced houses, basements and around the restaurants and bins of the city centre. Bed bugs and mice are frequent too, with bed bugs a particular concern for shared houses, holiday lets and hotels. Wasp nests keep us busy through the summer, and herring gulls nesting on the city’s rooftops are a common reason to look at gull control and proofing.
The Brighton shortlist
1. JG Pest Control: best overall in Brighton. More five-star Trustpilot reviews than any other UK pest control specialist (4.7/5, 28,000+ reviews), with RSPH (BPCA) Level 2 certified technicians and free, no-obligation advice. Well set up for Brighton’s mix of period terraces, student lets, holiday lets and seafront food businesses.
2. Rentokil: biggest national brand. Suits large multi-site organisations that want one national contract.
3. Local independents. Brighton has plenty of small firms. Judge them on verified review volume, RSPH (BPCA) Level 2 certificates, insurance and written guarantees, not on who answers the phone first.
