Pest Control in Chorley
Looking for reliable pest control in Chorley? I’m Ian Smith — a local pest controller who grew up in the area and knows Chorley’s pest problems inside out.
With years of hands-on experience and a genuine connection to the town, I provide fast, professional, and discreet pest control services to homes, farms, and businesses across the district.
Local Knowledge, Trusted Service
As a lad, I was often sent around the Chorley area on my pushbike to check mole traps and rat baits for my dad, who also worked in pest control — first for British Rail, then for himself. These early experiences gave me a solid grounding in pest work across Chorley’s farms, homes, and high streets.
Now, I offer a more professional and modern approach — but with the same local knowledge and down-to-earth service people have trusted for years. You’ll often find me working with pubs, restaurants, takeaways, and homeowners across the area. In fact, much of my work comes from word of mouth.

Common Pest Problems in Chorley
I deal with all kinds of pests in Chorley and the surrounding villages. Some of the most common include:
- Rats and mice – Found in domestic lofts, commercial kitchens, and even under decking. I offer one-off rodent removal and longer-term contracts for prevention.
- Wasp nests – During summer, I handle wasp nest removal in Chorley quickly and safely. Don’t try to tackle wasps yourself — I have the equipment and experience to deal with them properly.
- Bees – While bees are generally protected, I assess each situation carefully. If relocation isn’t possible, I’ll explain your options clearly and legally.

You may spot rats around Chorley Market early in the morning or hear mice in a loft near the town centre — but rest assured, these problems aren’t unique. Every town has pest issues now and again. The key is knowing how to deal with them quickly.
