Your hotspot for real pest data stories.
JG Pest Control is a national residential and commercial rapid response pest control company, handling emergency and same-day call-outs across the whole of the UK. That reach means our numbers show the true story of what the public is experiencing - which pests, which postcodes, which season, from tens of thousands of genuine call-outs a year rather than surveys or search trends. We actively want to work with press outlets to share it: data cuts, expert comment, maps and imagery are yours for the asking, and we aim to respond to journalist enquiries the same day.
