Animals - pests - control: Outline
It is the duty of the owner or occupier of premises to ensure that they deal with rats, mice and other pests which could be present. To do this you should always seek the advice of a competent pest control technician and ideally a company that is a member of the British Pest Control Association (BPCA).
Our Regulatory Service Group includes a specialist Pest Control Officers who can provide treatment for rats and mice in some circumstances (see Pest Control Fees and Charges below). We do not generally offer treatment for commercial premises but you may contact us to discuss any problems.
