Pest control

Craven District Council provides a pest control treatment service for both domestic and business complaints considered to be a risk to public health or food safety including rats, mice, cockroaches, fleas and bedbugs.

Pest control treatment services can be arranged by telephoning during normal working hours. Alternatively you can contact us by email or via the electronic form - Apply for Pest Control Services

Officers call by prior appointment and apply safe and effective treatments. If for any reason the problem persists they will return and make every effort to ensure the pest is eradicated.

We don't treat bats, bees, ants, pigeons, squirrels or wasps but we have provided information about these potential pests on our web pages.  Information about different pests can be found on the links below.
