Residents are being reminded of the pest control service and how much it costs
A rural East Lancashire local authority has advised residents about their pest control service in advance of the warmer weather that can encourage them to breed. Ribble Valley Council has warned householders that pests and insects can access their property via gaps and build nests in attics, garages, wall cavities and even in unused cupboards.
And as the weather gets warmer, they start to emerge from the warm and cosy boltholes they have made in homes and businesses. For £56.70 the council’s pest control team will assess the situation and give those affected a helping hand. The authority has a pest control officer whose knowledge and expertise can be called upon to treat mice, rats, wasps, cockroaches, fleas, ants, insects, moles and squirrels. Advice is also offered on bird-proofing and how to deal with bee swarms.Andrew Dent, the Ribble Valley Council’s head of environmental health, said: “Mice and rats can enter homes and businesses throughout the year to either keep warm or forage for food.
“Rats teeth are stronger than human teeth and capable of chewing through brick, concrete and even metal. But our pest control team is on hand to help householders troubled by any pests at a competitive price.” Visits take place by appointment on weekdays and repeat visits may be required to fully treat the pests. The pest control service will also visit commercial premises at a rate of £65.00 per hour, plus the cost of the products used.
