When you discover mice in your kitchen, hear scratching in your loft, or find a wasp nest somewhere around your property, you want the problem dealt with properly. You also want to know who you're letting through your door, what they're going to do, and whether you can actually trust their advice.


That's where Powell Pest Control comes in.


Based in East Sussex, Powell Pest Control provides professional pest control services for homeowners, landlords and local businesses. Founded by Jordan, the business was built around a straightforward idea: give customers the time, attention and honest advice they deserve, with effective pest management to match.


Dealing with pests should be about more than turning up, applying a treatment, and simply moving on.

Who is Powell Pest Control?


Hi, I'm Jordan, the person behind Powell Pest Control.


After working in pest control for years, I decided it was time to build a business that reflected the way I believe customers should be treated.


I've seen how stressful pest problems can be. Whether you're a homeowner worried about damage to your property, a landlord responding to a tenant's concerns or a business owner trying to protect your premises, you want answers. You need to understand what's happening, what needs to be done and how to prevent the same problem from returning.


I wanted to create a service where customers could speak directly to the person carrying out the work, ask questions without feeling uncomfortable and receive advice tailored to their situation.


That's the approach behind Powell Pest Control.


When you get in touch, you'll deal directly with me. I'll listen to your concerns, assess the problem, explain what I've found and talk you through the available options.


If there's a straightforward solution, I'll tell you. If professional treatment is needed, I'll explain why and what the next steps involve.


It's a personal approach to pest control, built around professional service, effective treatments and honest advice.


Why choose a local pest control company in East Sussex?


When you have a pest problem, finding someone who understands your situation and takes it seriously can make all the difference.


Working with a local pest controller gives you a direct point of contact and a service focused on the needs of the properties and people in the area.


At Powell Pest Control, the aim is to make the entire process as clear and straightforward as possible.


You speak directly to Jordan


You won't need to explain your situation to a different person every time you get in touch.

From your initial enquiry through to the assessment and treatment, you'll deal directly with Jordan. That means your concerns, the details of your property and the advice you've received stay connected throughout the process.


We investigate before recommending a solution


Not every pest problem has the same cause, even when the symptoms look similar.

Mice in a kitchen might indicate an entry point elsewhere in the property. Rats around a commercial building could be attracted by accessible food waste, shelter or an issue with the surrounding environment.


Effective pest control starts with understanding what's happening.


I'll assess the situation, look for relevant evidence and consider the factors contributing to the problem before recommending an appropriate course of action.


Honest advice comes first


Nobody wants to spend money on unnecessary treatments or work that won't address the underlying issue.


My approach is to explain what I've found, what I recommend and why. Where practical preventative measures can help, I'll talk you through them. Where treatment is necessary, I'll explain the options and what you can expect.


You'll have a clearer understanding of the problem and how we're going to approach it.


Professional service, without unnecessary complications


Pest problems can feel embarrassing, disruptive and sometimes overwhelming. There's no need to worry about being judged or to feel uncomfortable asking questions. Whether you've spotted a single mouse or you're dealing with a more established infestation, the priority is to understand the situation and work towards an effective solution.


You'll receive a professional service, clear communication and advice relevant to your circumstances.


Domestic pest control for homes across East Sussex


Your home should feel comfortable, safe and yours to enjoy. Unwanted pests can quickly change that.


From rodents in loft spaces to insects around the house, different pests create different challenges. Some can contaminate food or surfaces, others can damage materials, and some simply make it difficult to feel at ease in your own home.


Powell Pest Control helps homeowners identify and address pest problems with an approach suited to their property.


Depending on the circumstances, this may involve:

  • Rat and mouse control: investigating signs of rodent activity, identifying potential access points and recommending appropriate control measures.

  • Wasp control: assessing wasp activity and dealing with nests where professional intervention is appropriate.

  • Ant control: identifying the source and extent of activity and recommending suitable treatment and preventative measures.

  • Squirrel problems: assessing unwanted squirrel activity and determining the appropriate management approach.

  • Woodworm treatment: assessing signs of wood-boring insect activity and advising on suitable treatment where required.

  • Loft clearances: helping address contaminated or pest-affected loft spaces through appropriate clearance, cleaning and disinfection work.


The right solution depends on the pest, the property and the extent of the problem.

If you're unsure what you're dealing with, that's absolutely fine. Explaining the symptoms is a good place to start.



Commercial pest control for East Sussex businesses


Pest problems can be particularly disruptive for businesses. Whether you manage a restaurant, office, warehouse, retail unit, rental property or another commercial premises, unwanted pests can affect day-to-day operations, damage stock or property, create hygiene concerns and undermine customer confidence.


For food businesses and other premises subject to specific hygiene requirements, appropriate pest management also forms an important part of maintaining suitable standards.


Powell Pest Control works with businesses that need practical, professional help managing pest activity.


Depending on your premises and requirements, this may involve responding to an existing problem, investigating possible entry points, recommending preventative measures or discussing an ongoing pest management arrangement.


The aim is to help you understand the risks, address the issue appropriately and reduce the likelihood of recurring problems.


Every property is different, so recommendations should reflect the nature of your business, the building and the pest activity involved.


If you're a business owner, landlord or property manager looking for pest control in East Sussex, get in touch to discuss your requirements.



Our approach: understand the problem, then solve it properly


One of the most important things to understand about pest control is that removing the immediate signs of a problem doesn't always address its cause.


For example, controlling mice without investigating how they're entering a building may leave the property vulnerable to further activity. Treating an insect problem without considering its source can also make it harder to achieve lasting control.


That doesn't mean every job requires extensive work. Sometimes the appropriate solution is relatively straightforward. It means taking the time to understand the circumstances rather than assuming every problem needs the same treatment.


At Powell Pest Control, the process starts with listening and assessment. From there, I'll explain the findings, recommend suitable action and help you understand any preventative measures that may be needed.


Where further visits, monitoring, proofing or additional work are appropriate, I'll explain that too.


The objective is to provide effective pest control alongside the information you need to make informed decisions about your property.
