How to prevent pest infestations

If you think you might have a pest infestation in your home, it’s important you take the right steps to deal with the problem.

Most of the time, it’ll be your responsibility to deal with pests in your home and you’ll need to contact your local authority to look into this for you.

If the pest infestation is in a communal area such as hallways and shared gardens, or has happened because of a structural problem in your home, such as gaps or cracks in the wall or floor, then you should report it. Please note, we can’t complete any repair works until the infestation has been dealt with first.
