Pest control is managing and preventing pests, like insects and rodents. It aims to stop them from damaging crops, buildings, and other areas. We understand that having pests can be stressful. Some pests can also bring on health issues if they are not dealt with. How pests are dealt with varies depending on the type of property.
Pests in homes or commercial properties
We do not provide a pest control service. We cannot recommend companies for private contracts. We suggest contacting local and national pest control providers for quotes.
Pest from a neighbouring property
If you think you have pest issues from a neighbour, you can talk to them. If you can, try and show them some evidence. Be polite and ask how they plan to deal with the issue. You may wish to jointly use a pest control service to tackle the issue at both properties.
If the problem continues you can email environmental.health@harrow.gov.uk. Please describe the measures you've taken to date. Include images and any other evidence from the neighbouring property.
Pest control on council estates
You can tell us if the pest issue is on a council estate. You will need to tell us:
- the location of the issue
- images, if possible
- your contact details.
Send your issue to housing.estateservices@harrow.gov.uk.
