Pest control

Advice 

Sightings of rats and mice are not uncommon at any time of the year. When spotted you should check your home and garden for food and water sources such as bird feeding/ bird baths, compost heaps and ponds. 

It is the responsibility of a landowner to ensure that all areas of their property are free from pests and that pests are prevented from spreading beyond the boundaries of their land.

The British Pest Control Association (BPCA) offers generalist advice to help prevent, treat and manage pests.
