📢 IMPORTANT CUSTOMER UPDATE FROM PERISH-A-PEST

Firstly, we’d like to thank every customer who has supported Perish-A-Pest over the years. Whether we’ve helped with a wasp nest, resolved a rodent problem, protected your business through a pest management contract, or simply provided advice when you needed it, your support is genuinely appreciated.

As many people are aware, the cost of running a business continues to rise. Fuel, vehicle maintenance, insurance, treatment products, equipment, training, compliance requirements, waste disposal, professional memberships and general operating costs have all increased significantly in recent years.

For a long time, we have absorbed as much of these increases as possible. However, to ensure we can continue providing the high level of service our customers deserve, we will be making some small adjustments to our pricing structure.

We want to reassure customers that these are modest increases and not major changes. Our aim is simply to keep pace with rising costs while continuing to invest in the quality, professionalism and reliability of the service we provide.

What won’t change is our commitment to delivering honest advice, professional service and effective pest control solutions.

In fact, whilst operating costs have increased, we have continued to invest heavily in improving the business, our knowledge and the service we provide.

Over the years, Perish-A-Pest has continued to develop by investing in:

✅ Ongoing professional training and industry development.

✅ Improved treatment methods and monitoring systems.

✅ Enhanced reporting, record keeping and customer communication.

✅ Better equipment and service standards.

✅ Improved customer aftercare and support.

✅ Continued investment in compliance, safety and professional development.

✅ Supporting local organisations and community initiatives.

We are proud to be:

⭐ Cornwall Trading Standards Approved

⭐ DBS Checked

⭐ Fully Insured

⭐ Professionally Trained in Pest Management

⭐ Supporters of Cornwall Pride’s Safer Spaces Scheme

⭐ Sponsors of Local Grassroots Sport

⭐ Committed to Continuous Professional Development

Being a professional pest control company involves far more than simply turning up and putting down bait. It requires ongoing training, investment, insurance, compliance, record keeping, safe working practices and keeping up to date with changing legislation and industry best practice.

We have always believed that if customers are paying for a service, they deserve a company that is constantly improving rather than standing still.

Our goal has never been to be the cheapest pest control company in Cornwall.

Our goal is to provide a professional, reliable and trustworthy service that delivers genuine value, honest advice and long-term solutions.

Unlike many larger national companies, when you contact Perish-A-Pest, you deal directly with the person carrying out the work. There are no call centres, no sales teams, no subcontractors and no being passed from department to department.

Just honest, local pest control from someone who genuinely cares about solving the problem properly.

These small pricing adjustments will allow us to continue investing in the business, improving our services and maintaining the standards our customers have come to expect from Perish-A-Pest.

We appreciate that nobody likes price increases, least of all us, and this decision has not been taken lightly. However, we firmly believe that continuing to improve our service, knowledge and professionalism provides the best possible value for our customers.

Thank you for your continued support, recommendations, reviews and trust.

It is a privilege to serve homes and businesses across Cornwall, and we look forward to continuing to do so for many years to come.

🏳️‍🌈 Happy Pride Month from Perish-A-Pest 🏳️‍🌈

As Pride Month begins, we want to take a moment to celebrate diversity, inclusion, acceptance and the right for every person to live as their authentic self.

At Perish-A-Pest, we believe that everyone deserves to be treated with dignity, respect and kindness, regardless of their sexuality, gender identity, race, religion, disability or background.

We are proud supporters of Cornwall’s LGBTQ+ community and are registered with the Safer Spaces Scheme through Cornwall Pride. Our aim is simple: to ensure that every customer, employee and member of the public feels safe, welcome and respected when dealing with our business.

Pest control is about protecting people, homes and businesses. But being a good business is about more than the service you provide. It’s about the values you stand for and the way you treat people.

This Pride Month, and every month, we stand for respect, equality and inclusion.

From all of us at Perish-A-Pest, Happy Pride Month! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

At Perish-A-Pest, we are proud to be more than just a pest control company serving Cornwall — we are a business deeply rooted in our community.

We actively support a wide range of local causes, including schools, women’s football teams, charity events, and grassroots community initiatives across Cornwall. Whenever we can, we believe in giving back to the people and places that support us.

Community is at the heart of everything we do, and we are always happy to step in and support local projects, events, and organisations that make Cornwall what it is.

Two things we are especially proud of:

• We are approved and recognised by Cornwall Trading Standards, demonstrating our commitment to high standards, honest practice, and consumer protection.
👉 https://www.cornwall.gov.uk/business-trading-and-licences/trading-standards/

• We are proud sponsors and supporters of Cornwall Pride, where we are part of their Safer Spaces scheme and listed within their official community directory. We stand fully behind equality, inclusion, and creating safe environments for everyone.
👉 https://cornwallpride.org

Cornwall Pride is a registered charity working across the county to promote diversity, inclusion, and support for LGBTQ+ communities through events, education, and wellbeing initiatives.

We are committed to doing business the right way — not just providing a service, but being a trusted, respectful, and supportive part of the community we serve.

Thank you to all our customers, partners, and local organisations who continue to support us. We’ll keep working hard to give back wherever we can.

⚠️ Rats, Mice & Insects Don’t Just Damage Property… They Can Damage Your Health Too ⚠️

At Perish-A-Pest, we believe pest control isn’t just about getting rid of unwanted visitors — it’s about protecting you, your family, your staff and your customers from the very real health risks pests can bring into homes and businesses.

🐀 Rodents such as rats and mice can spread dangerous diseases through their urine, droppings, saliva and nesting materials. One disease people may have heard of is Hantavirus which has been in the news a lot recently, which can be contracted by breathing in contaminated dust from rodent waste. While rare in the UK, it highlights just how important proper cleaning and professional pest control really are.

Other illnesses linked to rodents can include:
• Leptospirosis (Weil’s Disease)
• Salmonella
• E. coli contamination
• Rat Bite Fever
• Toxoplasmosis

🪳 Cockroaches and insects can also spread bacteria and contaminate food preparation areas, while fleas, mites and bed bugs can cause irritation, allergic reactions and sleepless nights.

⚠️ NEVER vacuum or sweep large amounts of rodent droppings dry, as this can release harmful particles into the air. Always wear gloves, ventilate the area and use proper disinfectants — or better still, call a professional.

Signs you may have a problem:
✔️ Droppings
✔️ Scratching noises in walls or lofts
✔️ Gnaw marks
✔️ Grease marks along skirting boards
✔️ Unpleasant odours
✔️ Insect sightings, especially at night

At Perish-A-Pest, we provide professional, discreet and effective pest control across Cornwall, helping keep homes and businesses safe from rodents, insects and the diseases they can carry.

If you’re unsure whether you have an issue, don’t ignore the warning signs — early action can prevent a small problem becoming a serious infestation.
