Home Emergency Pest Infestation

Pests are rarely amusing. Finding that they have moved in to your house can be traumatic and sometimes even pose a health hazard. Our pest infestation protection comes as part of our gold home emergency plan and can provide:

• the attendance of an authorised pest control expert;
• the removal of wasps' and/or hornets' nests;
• dealing with an infestation of rats or mice.

Pest infestation

Seeing things such as wasps, hornets and mice in the wild is one thing. Having them living with you in your own home may invoke completely very different sentiments indeed.

Wasps and hornets may at times be aggressive and of course they can sting. In some cases that may be more dangerous for those with allergies or younger children.

Rats and mice in themselves are typically harmless. Unfortunately, they have little understanding of hygiene and will not think twice about walking around your kitchen work surfaces and foodstuffs having just been in well, let's just say ‘less wholesome' places!

In both cases, these types of pests are perfectly capable of causing structural damage to your home as well as damage to your possessions.

Eradicating them is not generally easy and is normally best considered a job for a specialist. The materials used may be hazardous in the hands of an unqualified amateur.

Our protection

We offer an excellent general home emergency plan policy, which provides you with protection against numerous forms of problems that can spring up at any time in any home. An infestation of these types of pest may be one of such problems.

If you have this form of protection, then you can call our emergency number immediately if your house suffers an infestation that is in danger of:

• putting your health at risk;
• causing damage to your home;
• making your home unsafe and uninhabitable.

It couldn't be simpler.

As with all insurance policies, exclusions and limitations apply and it is important that you read the terms and conditions of this policy to determine if these apply to you and for full details of the cover. This will also help you understand the level of protection that this product provides.
