Report pests, overgrowth and waste not on your land
Rats or mice not on your land
For pest problems not on your land, Enforcement Officers will:
- investigate allegations before taking legal action
- inspect the complainant's property and connecting land
- lay test bait to find evidence of pests
If there is no sign of rodents, we will not take further action.
Overgrown gardens or land attracting pests
Pest Control Officers only deal with gardens where they have evidence of rats or mice drawn to the land.
They do not deal with gardens that are untidy, causing an eyesore or nuisance.
- overgrown hedges
- rusting cars
- unkempt land
What attracts pests
Waste build up can attract disease-spreading pests harmful to health.
If a build up of waste is likely to attract rodents, we may take enforcement action.
- build-up of rubbish sacks and other waste
- excessive bird feeding
- rotting food waste
- dense, overgrown vegetation
- badly managed compost heap
- builders waste
- old appliances
