Pest control
We offer a chargeable, borough-wide pest control service to residents, local businesses and other council departments.
Some pests, such as rats, mice, bedbugs and cockroaches pose a risk to health when they infest occupied premises. The risk to health is less significant where these pests are found outside and people are less likely to come into contact with them. Other pests, for example, wasps, book lice and ants are generally a nuisance rather than health risks.
- We provide advice and information to businesses and members of the public on pest control.
- We provide a pest identification service.
- We carry out chargeable treatments for rats, mice, bed bugs, fleas, cockroaches, pharaoh ants and wasps nests. Our current residential charges are:
