Pest control

We do not offer a pest control service, and cannot deal with pests in your home or business.

Do you own the affected property?

If you have a problem with pests or vermin, you should contact a pest control company.

  • GOV.UK – Pest control on your property

The British Pest Control Association (BCPA) gives information and advice on pest problems:

  • Find a pest controller
  • A-Z of pests
  • Domestic pest advice and support from BPCA
  • Commercial pest advice and support from BPCA
