Bon Accord Pest Control

4.9138 Google reviews

Bon Accord Pest Control operates out of Great Portland Street and takes on some of the harder pest jobs in London, including bed bug infestations that other companies have already tried and failed to clear.

What people praise

Reviewers highlight honesty about when a paid visit isn't actually needed
Handles bed bug cases that other providers had already attempted and failed to resolve
Fast response, including late-night enquiries
Technician takes time to explain prevention, not just treatment

Worth knowing

Watch: 5 Best Pest Control Services in London (2026)

How we score

Every number on this page comes from public Google data as of the date shown, not opinion or payment. Rating is the business’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated them, measured against other London pest control companies. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 5.0 built on hundreds of reviews counts more than a 5.0 from a handful. Recency reflects how recently people are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How much does pest control cost in London? (2026)

Pricing depends heavily on the pest and the scale of the job. Bed bug heat treatments were the one figure reviewers mentioned consistently:

Job	Typical price
Bed bug heat treatment (full property)	From around £500

Figure taken from a customer review of ThermoPest Bed Bug Treatment London, verified August 2026. Other job types (rodent removal, wasp nests, general inspections) were not consistently priced in the public data reviewed, so get a written quote from each company for those jobs.

Serving all of London

The companies above between them cover Central London postcodes like the West End, Fitzrovia and Marylebone, plus North London (Camden, Islington), East London (Canary Wharf, Stratford), South London (Peckham, Brixton) and West London (Chelsea, Fulham), with some reaching further into the South East. Searching for pest control near me? Check the phone number and address on each listing below to find the closest option.

What to ask before you hire a pest control company

Is the initial inspection free, and does it come with a written treatment plan?
Are you NPTA or BPCA accredited?
What guarantee do you offer if the pest returns?
Do you use chemical treatments, heat treatment, or both, and why for my situation?
How many visits does a typical job like mine usually take?
Is there an extra charge for evening, weekend or emergency callouts?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these pest control companies?

We started from pest control providers in London with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency and recency. See How we score above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from the public Google data in the scorecard. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position on the underlying data.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (August 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

How quickly can a pest control company come out in London?

Several companies here, including Obsidian and Bon Accord, mention same-day or next-day appointments in customer reviews, and some offer emergency callouts. Always confirm timing when you call.

Is heat treatment better than chemical treatment for bed bugs?

Reviewers on this page who tried chemical treatment first and switched to heat treatment (via ThermoPest or Bed Bug Heat Treatment London & UK) generally reported better results in one visit. Ask each company to explain the trade-offs for your specific situation.

The bottom line

Obsidian Environmental Services is the safest general default, with a perfect rating across the largest review base on this list. If bed bugs are the specific problem, especially after a failed chemical treatment, ThermoPest or Bed Bug Heat Treatment London & UK are the two names reviewers point to for heat treatment. Get the treatment plan in writing before anyone starts work.
