treatment and this is entirely at the clients risk..

preferred date and time of appointment, prior to the visit. Also all relevant requested information (possibly including

Cancellations
If due to weather, clients change of circumstances or
instructions, late payment by IBAN, we will re-schedule the work if
booked within 14 days. Note further charges may be applied Cancellations received less than 24 hours before the scheduled
appointment time will incur a cancellation fee to compensate our pest
controller for his or her time. Re-scheduled visits will
have to be paid in advance (plus any unpaid cancellation charge) by IBAN.
For cancellations on Pre-Paid jobs, the same
cancellation timescale as above applies. If the job is re-scheduled
within 14 days then the same price will be applicable. After 14 days the
job will be deemed a new job and will be chargeable. We
reserve the right to cancel jobs for whatever reason.
Refunds
We do not give refunds for any reason including change of mind.
Should a refund be unavoidable, then it will be by IBAN, in full and
minus costs.
Charges:
Our call out charge is for calling out to a single
occupied and finished domestic property for a single infestation. All call out requests need to be confirmed by email.
On occasions where next day call out is not possible (for any reason)
then a suitable date and time will always be agreed with the client.
Should a pre booked call out be made, and due to weather (e.g. rain etc)
a pest no show is possible then a new appointment will be scheduled
within 14 days.
The call out charge is to treat a single domestic property (excluding
drains and septic tanks) in single family occupancy
for a single confirmed species. If different species are found, an
additional fee for each additional species will be required.
We do not phone non Spanish telephone/mobile numbers. If it is unavoidable
we reserve the right to charge a min of 10.00 euro supplement. We also
reserve the right to charge an additional fee for third party phone calls, texts, emails etc.
Keyholding: We reserve the right to charge an additional fee of 25 euros for administration of
keys (25 euros on collection and 25 euros return on day of treatment).
Collection/Return of keys other than day of treatment will be charged as a
new call out.
We reserve the right to vary our charges from time to time.
Quotations:
Quotations whether verbal or in writing are based on
the information supplied by the client at the time. Where this
information is found to be inaccurate or incomplete then a revised quote
will be supplied. Pests breed over time so ignoring them is always going
to make the problem worse. Quotations are only valid for 14 days and new
quotes may well be more if
the pest has been left untreated.
Treatments:
Killing pests is not an instant or quick fix, and all
of our methods/chemicals are tested, effective and do the job. All treatment materials and products are included
free in the first call out charge (excluding cockroach exterminator and
pool wasp repellent). Treatments are supplied on the basis
that they are appropriate to treat the pest problem that is reported. We treat the pests that we see
or find on the day and cannot be held responsible for pest no shows due
to weather conditions, time of day, third party activity (e.g. cleaners,
guests) etc.
Under all circumstances, we will use our best professional expertise to
administer an appropriate treatment. In the case of Cockroaches and
Mice/Rats we will use our best efforts to investigate the source of the
infestation by identifying holes etc where the pest may enter the
dwelling. But we do not remove or dismantle furniture, kitchen units or
false ceilings. Under these circumstances it is the responsibility of
the owner to employ the services of a handyman. Whole house or full property surveys are available
upon request. Please contact us for prices.
Treatments result in dead insects, however we do not
generally remove dead insects (e.g. bed bugs, ants, cockroaches,
mosquitoes, flies, beetles, wasps etc) as it is impractical to do so.
However if the insect is hazardous (e.g. Pine Caterpillars) we do remove
them.
Repeat Visits:
Due to the nature of some infestations (e.g.
Woodworm, Termites, Cockroaches, Ants, Wasps, Rats), repeat visits
may be necessary. The repeat visit may be to re-administer poison or top
up the bait left in traps or bait boxes. Any repeat
visits that may be required, must be pre-paid and are charged at an appropriate rate (or
sometimes are complementary), but in any event all
products are chargeable. The rate will depend on the complexity of the job, but normally the client will be
advised of this and advised of any alternative DIY remedies that may be
appropriate. Repeat visits should be booked in to attend within 14 days of first
visit and are all pre-paid. Outside this period (due to the nature of insects breeding,
regrouping etc) the
call out will be deemed a new call out and will be chargeable at the
appropriate rate.
During a repeat visit, if in the opinion of the Pest Controller the reported pest problem is deemed to be greater than reported or beyond our scope of work then alternatives will be suggested. These may be chargeable.

Re-infestations:
We always endeavor to perform the work as requested in a fast and
efficient manner and to the clients satisfaction. Re-infestations are unfortunately outside our
control, as re-infestations are governed by the habits and preferences of
the bugs, the time of year and/or the lifestyle of the client. See our
information page on re-infestations. On our first visit, we treat the immediate problem
fast, and also provide the advice you need to avoid future infestations.
We are not responsible for re-infestations where the structure is
inviting re-infestation due to being unfinished, falling apart,
un-maintained, un-repaired or at the end of its useful life.
Payment:
Normally, payments for bookings are made by IBAN Bank transfer.
However cash on arrival is accepted if IBAN is not practical due to timescale.
All IBAN paid call outs are on the basis of cleared funds 24 hours
before the scheduled call out. All appointments made for orders over the standard call out fee
must be paid in advance by IBAN. Appointments made for repeat call outs
or whole house surveys need to be paid by IBAN Bank transfer. For clients
security and peace of mind, we do not take clients bank
details or credit/debit card details. For cash jobs we supply a cash
receipt. For account customers we perform the work and raise an invoice
for payment (terms 30 days).
Visit Report & Recommendations:
Recommendations, advice or suggestions that are made
whether in the visit report, or verbally on site, and not implemented, are at the clients discretion,
but non compliance or non timely implementation may result in a chargeable
repeat visit or call out. It is the sole responsibility of the client to
be present to receive the benefit of the advice given. Advice after the
event constitutes a report and is chargeable. Requests from Pests r Us for more information
from the client that are ignored or left unanswered may result in us
withdrawing our services.
Communications:
We always prefer requests for Call Outs are in
writing by email. We always confirm bookings for Call Outs in writing
via email. Any communications (other than by email) are entirely at the
clients risk.
Our pest advice is given in good faith, so in the
process of trying to assist the client, should requests for more
information be ignored, or questions relating to the problem remain
unanswered then we reserve the right to withdraw our assistance without
notice.
Inspections:
Inspections do not include the dismantling of any
units, furniture or appliances. Inspections for termite damage to door
frames, fitted cupboards etc does not include removal of architrave. All
inspections are visual checks only and recommendations are based on what
can be seen at the time.
Warning:
Most if not all of the chemicals used are for the
purpose of killing animals. It is therefore strongly recommended that
pets or children are prevented at all times from any contact with these
chemicals. Normal safety precautions with respect to handling
insecticides/pesticides (inhalation, contact with eyes, washing of
hands etc) should be adhered to at all times. THIS IS THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CLIENT.

Before the first visit and until the final visit, you hereby agree:
a. not to move any poisons or tamper with equipment / bait stations unless specifically advised to do so by us in writing.
b. not to interfere with our treatment in any way, or try to treat the rodents yourself or allow anyone else to do so, unless specifically advised to do so in writing.

In compliance with animal welfare requirements, on occasions where humane traps are used in any rodent treatment, you hereby agree to inspect each trap at least twice daily and in the event that a rodent has been caught and has not been killed outright, you must contact us immediately on 620 874 657.
Where there is evidence of infestations emanating from private or public sewers or from breaches in soil drains we may require you to obtain a specialist inspection of works. We cannot inspect or treat utility company sewers.
We will inspect the infected areas and we will treat it if, in our reasonable opinion, it is necessary, practical and safe to do so by installing appropriate traps.
The call out service does not include any subsequent removal of dead rodent carcasses, re-baiting of tubes or traps, or disposal of any glue boards.

Treatment:
Treatment:
We shall perform a full internal and external inspection to
identify the cause of the problem. We will suggest any DIY measures that
are needed to remedy the problem, but if this is not achievable
(due to access issues, multiple
entry/exit points etc), we shall seek to control them instead. For example, if the core infestation is emanating from another property (including another flat within the same building), we will seek to control the
problem in the clients property, as we will be unable to eliminate them, or alternatively in
the case of cockroaches we may suggest the use of our cockroach mass
extermination box to control the pests external to the premises. After
the inspection, we will advise the client on the measure needed to
prevent future infestations. We will then lay poison/bait, apply
insecticide dust, apply any other insecticide as we feel necessary (e.g.
to insecticide drains or septic tanks)..
Our Service is to attend your premises, inspect the
area that has been reported as being infected and treat the active habitat with the intention of controlling the pest. We
will always endeavor to catch the rodents (catching rodents in open
spaces is not viable), however should we not find
any active rodents in the house when we inspect, then mechanical traps/pads
will be baited and laid as a precaution.

This cost or payment of this cost is not governed or dependent on how many rodents the clients believes to be present, and the job will be detailed on our confirmation. An additional fee will be charged if the premises is occupied by more than one family, additional treatments are needed, or if any treatments are required in outbuildings, stables or land where domestic pets or livestock are present. However in some situations, due to the safety of the livestock, treatments within these additional areas may not be appropriate and we reserve the right to refuse to treat them.
