Why rat infestation treatment costs more in Andover
Andover is a small town of around 50,000 in Hampshire. The housing is mostly period cottages, Edwardian villas and 1930s semi-detached housing alongside newer commuter developments. That matters: older properties usually mean more pipework, rewiring and retrofit surprises, while newer builds in districts like SP10, SP11 tend to be quicker jobs with standardised fittings. Local trade prices sit a little above the UK average, which tracks with Hampshire labour and material costs.
Pricing for rat infestation treatment here sits roughly 5% over the UK average, putting Andover quotes in the £125 to £370 band per treatment course, with a smaller pool of local firms keeping things competitive. A lot of South East firms work both London and local jobs. Rates usually track London with a small discount, so you're rarely getting a bargain. Peak season runs May to September and good tradespeople can be three to four weeks out. Out of season is the time to price round.
Expect £125 to £370 per treatment course for rat infestation treatment in Andover, over roughly 2-3 visits over 2-4 weeks, given the local rate sits roughly 5% over the UK average. You want a BPCA-qualified technician. Most infestations get a course of treatment rather than a single visit, two or three over a few weeks, with monitoring in between. A few callouts are legally protected (bats, some birds, badgers) and need a licence, so a reputable firm will turn those away or refer them on.
