Pest Control
A free pest control service for rats is provided for householders, but there is a charge for dealing with mice and insects such as cockroaches, fleas, bedbugs, flies, ants and moths.
Businesses are charged for all treatments. Environmental Health Officers are willing to identify insects and give advice on their habits and how to deal with them at no cost.
Why do we need to control rats and mice? Like flies and cockroaches they carry dirt and disease and can also cause damage to property and food. In addition, the economic loss to business can be considerable.
If you are a householder and would like to speak to someone about pest control at a domestic property, call UConnect on 01799 510510.
