Council Pest Control Officers will deal with pests that are harmful to public health and well being at homes and businesses. Rodents, that is Rats and Mice, can be particularly unsettling due to their possible transmission of diseases. The Council will deal with these pests within 5 working days at no charge to households and for a fee at non residential locations.
Other pests causing concern are Wasps, Ants and various insects. These are dealt with for a fee. Costs are specified below.
Pest Control services can be arranged by telephoning during normal working hours, where our staff will provide advice and make an appointment for treatment if you wish. Alternatively you can contact us by email.
Officers call by prior appointment and apply safe and effective treatments. If for any reason the problem persists they will return and make every effort to ensure the pest is eradicated.
