Pests at other premises
If you have seen certain pests active at premises other than those in which you live then we may be able to investigate your report. We have powers to serve enforcement notices in certain cases that require the person responsible for the premises concerned to take action to control certain pests (such as rats and mice).
Enforcement notices are generally used where informal approaches have failed to result in appropriate action.
Reporting a pest infestation somewhere other than your home
Please contact us with as much information as you can about the location and pests present. We would also like your own name, address, and telephone number so that we can discuss your report in more detail if we need to.
