Pest control
Closure of the pest control service
Following a review, Walsall Council has withdrawn its pest control service.
If you have a pest problem
You should contact a pest control company to tackle the problem. We recommended that you look for pest controllers that are part of professional pest control organisation, such as the British Pest Control Association (BPCA) or National Pest Technicians Association (NPTA).
If you choose to treat the problem yourself, the BPCA site provides an A to Z of pests and also offers useful advice and information on the control of all types of pest.
How to report rubbish that's attracting pests
If rubbish on private land or in a garden is causing a health risk or attracting pests, you can report it to us.
We can take action when the waste:
- provides food for rats or mice
- gives them places to hide, such as old furniture or soft furnishings
- creates a risk to public health
