The awards are now in their 20th year, and recognise companies around Somerset for exceptional accomplishments across a range of fields.

Squeak-a-Boo Pest Management is a family run business located in Barrington, Ilminster. 

Having previously won Sole Trader of the Year at the National Pest Awards 2024, this business award is another gong for the shelf. 

Squeak-A-Boo's owner, Matt Arnold, said they were "over the moon" to win the award.

"Apparently it's a really hard award to win but the judges said we were stand out," he commented.

"It's just really lovely to know that we are making a difference for people across Somerset and that all of our hard work over the last two years has paid off, particularly as we were being measured against businesses from all different sectors."

He continued, "We are really proud to deliver award-winning pest control services here in the county, including a range of specialist services including drainage work and bed bug detection dogs.

"We're going from strength-to-strength, and plan to continue that way for a very long time!"
