Pest control
Disruption during the Covid-19 outbreak
Pest control is an essential service and our pest control officers are key workers.
To protect you and our staff, we have had to restrict appointments at this time.
We thank you for your patience.
Our services for residents
We can help you get rid of insects, rodents and health hazards that pests cause.
We have experienced officers and effective treatments. We can advise you how to stop pests returning too.
We also work with non-food businesses in the borough.
