# Pestforce Reading – Rat Control Specialists

Pestforce Reading is a family-run pest control business specialising in professional rat control and long-term rodent solutions for residential and commercial properties across Reading. Led by owner Tim James, the team takes a diagnostic approach to pest problems, focusing on identifying root causes rather than offering temporary fixes.

The business distinguishes itself through technical expertise in drain surveys and structural repair. Tim is trained in advanced CCTV drain inspection and no-dig repair techniques, allowing the team to pinpoint how rats are accessing properties—often through damaged drainage systems—and seal these entry points permanently. This specialist knowledge sets them apart from generalist pest control operators.

Pestforce Reading serves homeowners and property managers dealing with rat infestations, from identifying droppings and hearing noises in walls to addressing structural damage. Their thorough approach includes initial surveys, targeted treatment, and post-fix aftercare visits to ensure problems are genuinely resolved.

The team holds multiple accreditations including BPCA membership, CEPA certification, CHAS accreditation and RSPH Level 2 qualification. They prioritise pet safety and are known for their calm, transparent communication with customers. With over 30 years' local knowledge, Tim and his colleagues provide a trustworthy, professional service backed by strong customer reviews and Checkatrade verification.
