Pest Control
The provision of a pest control treatment service is
a non-statutory function, and the Council does not provide
a pest control treatment service, however, the council
can use powers to ensure that land owners and occupiers control
pests on their land or property. There are many skilled and
qualified private contractors in the district that can
deliver a quality pest control treatment
service .
Householders who have a pest problem are therefore recommended
to contact a private company these can be found in the
Yellow Pages or in
your local paper.
Please note it is the responsibility of all land
owners to ensure that they control rats and mice on their land and
where necessary the council can use powers to enforce land
owners and occupiers to adhere to
this responsibility.
