Welcome Davy
I've just checked out your site, may I add that I think you are underselling yourself, your prices are very cheap, not sure of your competition but I would imagine you may not have too much.
I wouls certainly have a review if you want a chat send me a PM.
cheers

Welcome Davy I've just checked out your site, may I add that I think you are underselling yourself, your prices are very cheap, not sure of your competition but I would imagine you may not have too much. I wouls certainly have a review if you want a chat send me a PM. cheers Hi Davy i would second what Andy has said you are too cheap for most of it, we never advertise prices for the reasons that we want people to phone us and so we can sell the treatment to them otherwise they will go elsewhere to find out prices and often go to them instead of you. also at those prices you wont make a great deal of money but be a busy fool. Wasp prices are about right for your area but the rest need looking at. However saying that it is your business and your turf and so you must do what you think is best, cheap is not always the best path to go down, so please be sure that you are not underselling yourself or your trade.

Unfortunately we cannot charge proper prices on the Island. The local authority use to have an approved contractors list and dictated the charges. from memory £38.00 for Rodents. We (I was manager at Hillbans then) explained that this was to low but they wouldn't listen and we declined to be included on their approved list. Unfortunately this stuck and until recently we had companies carrying out Rodent treatments for as little as £35. Would you believe there are still companies on the Island charging less than me at the moment and I still get compaints about my astronomical charges.

I dont envy you in that case, yet everything else on the island is expensive.

The benefit on the Island is small size - only 23 miles at it's longest and so my mileage is low. Getting off to work is very expensive ( if you want a laugh phone Wightlink and ask how much it is to bring a van across ). Contracts/commercial are the way to make money here and Mole control. But I don't half envy you being able to charge £40 for Wasps
