I called "Sonville Pest Control" (as a recommendation) and Matt arrived on the same day to swiftly and conscientiously exterminate the wasp nests located in our roof. He also attended to a neighbour's multiple nests on the same visit. If ever required, I would be happy to call on Matt's help again. Thanks again Matt!
I contacted Matt with an enquiry, and I was impressed by how quickly he got back to me. He was professional and took the time to explain everything clearly. The service was prompt, efficient, and gave me complete confidence from start to finish. Thanks again Matt!
We found ourselves in the unfortunate position of having a few rats in our attic. We contacted Sonville Pest Control and Matt came out the following day. He explained everything to us in respect of what was required to resolve the problem. We found Matt to be very knowledgeable, professional and his friendly approach put us at ease. We are happy to say we are now 'pest free' and would not hesitate to recommend Sonville Pest Control Edinburgh.
Excellent service from Matt. He called round very quickly to remove a wasps' nest. Everything explained and nest completely removed. Will definitely call Sonville for any other pest problems we have.
Matt is one of the best pest control people I’ve had the pleasure of coming into contact with, he is incredibly professional and very thorough, if you have any pest issues I cannot recommend him enough
Matt responded to our enquiry quickly and attended to our problem without delay. He was professional, helpful and clearly outlined what he would do to remove our wasp nest. He carried out the job efficiently and I would be happy to use his services again and would highly recommend him to others.
Fantastic service. Quick response late in the evening, arrived within an hour. Subsequent visits undertaken at a time suitable for me. Very friendly, very knowledgeable. I'm always keen to suport independent businesses and I absolutely recommend this company for pest control 👌🏼
