Very grateful to Ryan coming out to deal with a wasp nest after my little boy was stung. Ryan came out quickly and was very professional. He did a thorough inspection of the property and dealt with two nests. He was clear and transparent from the outset on cost of removal and did an excellent job. I would highly recommend Ryan!
Amazing service! I called on Saturday and Saltire Pest Control came out on the Monday morning! He explained the process of what was required for the wasps nest as it was in our wall cavity so I was curious as to how you get rid of them. He was very efficient and answered all questions and was happy to talk through everything with us! Can’t recommend enough would 1000% use again and tell anyone who had a pest control issue to use this company! Thanks so much again.
I had a wasps nest in my garage. Emailed Saltire and Ryan called back within 10 mins and he came the following day. Very quick, efficient and professional service. Would happily use them again - although hope I don't have to!!
Very professional, rapid response & completely obliterated our wasp nest in the roof! Visit was approximately half an hour, work was carried out from our driveway, following an internal loft inspection. Delighted with work done, delighted with competitive price. Ryan is a lovely chap who I would highly recommend.
We found a wasp nest in our garden, and within 5 minutes of emailing Saltire to enquire about removal, Ryan had responded and scheduled a time to come and remove. He was punctual, professional, friendly and most importantly removed the wasp nest efficiently. Highly recommend.
A routine garden clean-up task had turned into a nightmare when a beehive was discovered underneath the playhouse. With a super tight timetable I phoned Ryan in desperation and he couldn't have been more professional, prompt and courteous. He squeezed us in and in no time had swiftly taken the hive and most of the bees off to a new home. We couldn't be more grateful and would highly recommend Saltire!
Excellent service - responded within half an hour. Checked the property after we found one wasps nest. Identified three and dealt with them efficiently. Polite, quick and definitely value for money.
