Pest Control

Please contact Environmental Health to arrange treatment or for more information.

Environmental Health has a responsibility to ensure that infestations of Rats and Mice are eradicated.

Can you carry out treatment for me? The Council has a pest control treatment service - for non-commercial premises only and for which a fee is charged. Commercial or Industrial premises should check telephone directories for details of other providers. Who is Responsible for Treatment? Generally speaking it is either the owner or the occupier of the land who is responsible for ensuring treatment. If you have any doubt please contact Environmental Health.

What Happens After the Survey?
If the infestation is confirmed to your own property you will be asked to sign an agreement for payment and then treatment will start.

What if my Request is about Wasps or Other Insects?
If you are an owner or occupier and the infestation is on your own property you will be advised of the cost of treatment in the case of residential properties and if you agree an officer will contact you to arrange to survey and treat the infestation.

What if my Problem is Seagulls, Rabbits, and other Birds?
Environmental Health will deal with Seagulls, Rabbits or other Birds in certain circumstances.
