Pest Control Service
We operate a comprehensive Pest Control Service dealing with infestation of rats, mice and insects of environmental health significance in properties throughout the district.
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.
In addition we give advice on prevention and steps to take to eradicate infestations. This includes dealing with Squirrels, foxes, rabbits, moles and seagulls. However, we do notprovide a service to directly deal with these animals.
