We have more five-star Trustpilot reviews than any other UK pest control specialist, rated 4.7 out of 5 from more than 28,000 Trustpilot reviews, with RSPH (BPCA) Level 2 certified technicians, free, no-obligation advice and guaranteed treatments, open every day except Christmas Day.
What to look for in a Kent pest control company
Kent mixes busy towns, coastal resorts, commuter villages and a large farming and orchard economy. A pest problem in a Margate guest house, a Maidstone family home and a fruit farm near Faversham each needs a different approach, so it is worth choosing a provider that knows the whole county.
- 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 that covers the county end to end, from the Medway towns, Maidstone and Ashford to Canterbury, Thanet, Folkestone and Tunbridge Wells.

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 Kent
Rats are a frequent call-out across Kent, in homes, gardens, outbuildings and farm sites. Wasp nests are the big summer job, and we also treat bed bugs, mice and bees. We also work with commercial premises, from hospitality on the coast to food and farm businesses inland.

2. Rentokil: biggest national brand. Suits large multi-site organisations that want one national contract.
