Urgent pest control when you need it
When pests turn up without warning, our technicians get to you fast, find where the activity is coming from and treat it. Whether it’s a rat in a stockroom, mice in a plant room or insects in a staff area, you get a treatment matched to the pest and the site.
We work with homeowners, landlords, facilities managers, food businesses, warehouses, offices, farms, care settings and industrial sites.
Commercial customers also get a written record of what we found, what we did and what happens next. That record is ready if an auditor or environmental health officer asks for it later.
What pests do we deal with in an emergency?
We deal with emergency rat, mouse, insect and bird problems in homes and businesses. Most emergency call-outs involve rodents, insects or birds, and each can affect your property in different ways.
- Rats and mice: Rodents squeeze through small gaps around doors, walls and pipework. Once inside, they damage stock, wiring and insulation and spread contamination. For food, healthcare and industrial sites, a rodent sighting can also put audits and customer confidence at risk. Learn more about our rat control and mice control services.
- Insects: A wasp nest by a doorway, or a sudden cockroach, flea or fly problem, can spread quickly through a home or a busy workplace. Fast treatment protects people’s health and your reputation. Learn more about our wasp nest removal and cockroach control services.
- Birds: Nesting, roosting and fouling on commercial premises can cause slip risks and disrupt your operations. We assess the situation and recommend fast, practical next steps. Learn more about our bird proofing service.
Emergency pest control services for businesses
Acorn gives businesses a fast, discreet emergency service with clear paperwork after every visit. Commercial sites usually need more than a treatment – they need evidence for auditors, updates for managers and a plan for what happens next. We regularly support:
- Facilities management companies
- Offices and managed buildings
- Commercial and industrial units
- Food production and supply businesses
- Farms and agricultural sites
- Schools and education settings
- Healthcare and care environments
- Leisure, hospitality and retail premises

Emergency pest control for homes
Need a pest technician at home today? Homeowners, tenants and landlords can book a same-day call-out whenever we have a technician free. We identify the pest, treat it and show you what’s attracting it or letting it in. Common home emergencies include:
- Rats in lofts
- Mice in kitchens
- Wasp nests near doors
- Insects in bedrooms
- Pests getting in through damaged brickwork, vents or pipework
Urgent cases, such as a wasp nest by your front door, are usually seen first. We decide priority by risk, location and pest type. If we can’t reach you the same day, you’ll get a clear arrival window to plan around.
For the best chance of a same-day visit, call early and tell us what the pest is and where you’ve seen it. After treatment, you’ll get practical advice to help keep it out.

How does our emergency pest control service work?
Every emergency call-out follows three steps: a risk assessment, on-site treatment and follow-up with a digital report.
Step 1: Rapid risk assessment
When you call, we ask about the pest, your premises and what you’ve seen. This tells us how quickly we need to attend and what precautions to take before we arrive.
Step 2: On-site treatment
Our technician inspects the site, confirms the pest and treats it straight away where possible. They’ll also recommend any pest proofing that will help stop the problem coming back.
Step 3: Follow-up and digital reporting
If the problem needs more than one visit, we’ll book follow-ups. After every visit, you receive a ServiceTracker report covering findings, treatment and recommendations.
