Pests and Infestations

Broxtowe Borough Council do not provide a pest control service.

If your property or business is currently infested with pests like rats or cockroaches, it is recommended that you use a pest control professional to help eradicate the problem. Tenants of any rented properties should contact their landlord for support.

If you wish to treat a pest infestation yourself, please follow the advice of the British Pest Control Association on their A to Z of Pests. (Opens in a New Window)

Finding a Pest Control Professional

The British Pest Control Association (BPCA)(Opens in a New Window) or National Pest Technicians Association (NPTA)(Opens in a New Window) are two of the most respected trade associations for pest control. We recommend that any professionals you hire to help remove any infestations should come from one of these organisations.
