Pest control
City Corporation housing estate tenants
If you have a pest problem call the Contact Centre on 020 7606 3030 for referral to the Pest Control Team.
The City Corporation does not provide a pest control treatment service for commercial or non-corporation residential properties. The owners or occupiers of these properties must deal with pest control problems associated with these premises.
The British Pest Control Association (BPCA) produces a list of companies providing pest control treatment and the BPCA catalogue provides information on common public health pests and their control.
