Pests and nuisances

The Council's Pest Control Service can provide you with advice and assistance if you are experiencing problems with rodents, insects or birds.

We offer a comprehensive and cost-effective range of services, including the control of rats, mice, insects, wasps, fleas and bed bugs.  Our team of pest control officers are fully trained in the safe use of insecticides, rodenticides and pesticides. Most treatments are carried out on a chargeable basis.

Rat sightings

If you spot any rat activity within the green/public spaces in Edinburgh, please contact our office on 0131 666 2623 or email Pest Control.

Bees

Unfortunately the pest control section do not treat bees nests due to the fact their numbers are decreasing. We would normally advise that bees are left alone as they are generally non-aggressive and very beneficial to our environment.

All staff are members of B.P.C.A (British Pest Control Association) and N.P.T.A (National Pest Technician Association)
