Pest Control Service

We operate a comprehensive Pest Control Service dealing with infestations of rats, mice and insects of environmental health significance in properties throughout the district.

To request a Pest Control treatment for Rats, Mice or Wasps at your home please use our pest control request form.

Our Pest Control Officers deal with issues which are considered to be a Public Health Problem. These include rats, mice and other pests and vermin.

We also deal with pests not deemed a Public Health risk. These include wasps and fleas.
