Pest Control

The Council has an extensive and continuous rat baiting program that operates at various locations throughout the district.

The boxes used by the council are manufactured for use in open areas to which the public has access. Boxes are secured and locked in place to prevent tampering and their construction prevents access to the bait to safeguard children and other wildlife. Bait boxes are not placed at random but are sited very specifically in the immediate vicinity of rat activity and are monitored regularly.

If you require further information or would like to report a sighting of rats you can contact us by post, phone, email or e-form .
