Pests and Insects

The responsibility for keeping land and buildings free from rats, mice and insect pests rests with the owner or occupier of the property. 

We also enforce the statutory provisions regarding pest and insect control and may invoke formal legal action in certain circumstances.

We currently offer Pest Control Services to remove the following pests:

  • Rats
  • Mice

It is the Pest Control Officers role to treat the infestation and provide any advice necessary to prevent further problems.

We do not offer pest control services to remove the following pests:

  • Bedbugs
  • Pigeons
  • Squirrels
  • Foxes
  • Badgers
  • Bees
  • Wasps
  • Fleas
  • Cockroaches
