Pest Control Leigh
If you’re looking for trusted pest control in Leigh, you’re in the right place.
I offer a full range of pest control services for homes, landlords, letting agents, and businesses across Leigh and the surrounding towns.
Whether you’ve got a rodent problem, an insect infestation, or birds nesting where they shouldn’t be, I’ll get to the root of the problem and put things right – quickly and discreetly.
I used to operate just down the road in Westhoughton. Now based in Bolton, I still cover the Leigh area daily. In fact, I’m often able to respond the same day – even quicker for emergencies.
With years of experience and a long-standing reputation in the area, many customers come to me through word of mouth.

Why Choose Ian Smith for Pest Control in Leigh?
I offer a professional pest control service with a personal touch. That means when you call, you’ll speak to me – Ian Smith – and I’ll be the one who turns up to do the job.
I don’t use branded vehicles for domestic callouts, so your neighbours won’t be alerted. For commercial clients, I work discreetly and efficiently to avoid disruption to your business.
I also provide honest advice – if a treatment isn’t necessary, I’ll tell you. But if action is needed, I’ll explain the process and pricing clearly before we begin.

Common Pest Problems in Leigh
Over the years, I’ve tackled all types of pest issues in Leigh, including:
- Rodents – Rats and mice can cause significant damage to homes and businesses. They chew wires, pipes, and insulation, and pose a serious health risk. I offer effective rodent extermination and follow-up proofing to stop them returning.
- Wasps and Bees – In warmer months, I often deal with wasp nest removal in Leigh gardens, lofts, sheds and wall cavities. Bee swarms are also common. I always try to preserve bee colonies where possible, and only remove nests as a last resort.
- Insect Infestations – Ants, bed bugs, cockroaches, fleas, and cluster flies can all make life miserable. Whether you’re a homeowner or a landlord, I offer fast diagnosis and professional-grade treatments that work.
- Squirrels – Squirrels in lofts are noisy and destructive. I trap and remove grey squirrels humanely and offer advice on how to prevent future problems.
- Bird Proofing – I regularly help warehouses, supermarkets and other commercial properties deal with pigeons and corvids (crows and magpies), installing bird spikes, netting or proofing solutions.
Pest Control for Leigh Businesses
I provide one-off callouts and pest control contracts for a number of businesses across Leigh and nearby areas like Atherton, Astley, and Hindley. These include pubs, shops, takeaways, salons, landlords, and estate agents. A pest-free business is essential for hygiene, safety, and reputation – and I’ll make sure you stay covered all year round.
My pest control contracts are flexible and fairly priced, offering monthly or quarterly visits depending on your needs. I’ll monitor activity, refill baits, provide all the paperwork, and give you peace of mind that your property is protected.
Discreet, Effective and Affordable Pest Control in Leigh
Because I live and work locally, I can offer lower prices than the big national firms – and I genuinely care about doing the job right. My service is friendly, honest and fully insured.
Whether it’s a one-off infestation or ongoing pest prevention, I treat every job with care and attention.
Most importantly, I keep things discreet. I know how important it is that neighbours or customers aren’t alarmed. That’s why I always arrive in an unmarked vehicle and handle the job quietly.
