Here is the answer to the question: What pests does the Council's Pest Control Service deal with ?

We offer a treatment service for the following pests - Ants Bedbugs Beetles Cockroaches Fleas Mice Moths Rats Wasps Woodlice Some of the above services are chargeable - please click on the link below for Pest Control Charges We are sometimes too busy to provide a service for insect treatments since priority is given to dealing with rats and mice. We will still give advice and provide details of private companies who can do the work for you. We do not provide a treatment service for Bees, Foxes, Badgers, Pigeons or Squirrels but we will give advice. If you want a Pest Contol Officer to visit and give advice this would be chargeable. Local beekeepers may be of assistance with bee swarms (details can be found at your local library). For badgers in particular you can obtain information from DEFRA (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs). Their web site has further information and contact details. http://www.defra.gov.  more
