What moves the price
- Rats or mice — mouse control is often a little cheaper, while rats in drains or under floors take more work
- Size of the infestation — a few mice in a loft clear faster than an established colony in the walls
- Number of visits — most rodent control plans include bait or traps, a check and a final clearance visit
- Where the rodents are — drains, cavity walls and under-floor voids are harder to reach than a garden shed
- Proofing the home — blocking gaps around pipes, air bricks and doors adds materials and labour
- London and the South East — rodent control there typically costs about a fifth more than elsewhere
Domestic and garden services prices in the UK are up 24% over five years (ONS Consumer Price Inflation, Domestic services and household services, to 2026 August). Five years ago a typical rodent & mouse control would have cost about £200 — an estimate from today's guide price and that index, not a recorded price. Source: ONS MM23 D7E6 →

How to pay less
- Ask your council whether it offers rat and mouse control before booking a private service
- Clear spilt bird seed, open bins and pet food so the rodent treatment works faster
- Have the entry points proofed at the same time to avoid paying for a second infestation
Before you book
- Rodenticides are restricted, so ask the pest controller how bait boxes will be secured from children and pets
- Ask how many visits the rodent control price covers and whether proofing is included
- Rats seen near drains may point to a drain fault, which the rodent controller can flag
- Check the technician is trained and insured, ideally a member of a pest control trade body
Rodent & Mouse Control cost: questions people ask
£120–£300 per treatment plan, about £240 typical for three visits. A small mouse problem costs least; rats in drains or walls, with proofing, cost most.
Most treatments run over one to three weeks, with two or three visits to bait, check and confirm the activity has stopped.
Some councils in England and Wales offer rodent control, sometimes free and sometimes for a charge. GOV.UK can tell you what your council provides.
It is the best way to stop them coming back. Mice fit through very small gaps, so proofing pipe runs, air bricks and door bottoms matters as much as the bait.
Drain repairs, replacing chewed cables or loft insulation, and deep cleaning after an infestation are quoted separately.
