Pest control for council tenants

We provide a free pest control service for council tenants and council premises.

We deal with most types of pests, such as:

  • rats
  • mice
  • ants
  • wasps
  • fleas

We try not to treat insects, birds or mammals unless they are posing a threat or nuisance.

Bee treatment

We try not to treat bees unless they pose a risk to householders, for example, a swarm in a house or chimney.

For honey bees, we try to keep lists of local beekeepers who might take them away.

There are not many local beekeepers now, and we always welcome any new names to add to the list.

Bat treatment

Bats are a protected species. If you discover a bat or suspect you have a bat roost, you must not harm them.

Contact Scottish Natural Heritage for advice.

Book a pest control visit

This service is only available to council tenants. All other householders or businesses should contact a private pest control company

Once you have booked

Pest control visits take place between 9am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.

You will need to be present during the treatment.

Our officer will advise you on how long the treatment will take and the steps you can take to make sure the treatment is successful.
