The Moray Council has a duty in terms of The Prevention of Damage by Pests Act 1949, to ensure that infestations of rats and mice are eradicated (this does not mean, however, that we will carry out the work or make arrangements for the work to be carried out).
It is, generally speaking, either the owner or the occupier of the land who is responsible for ensuring that infestations are eradicated.
We do provide a Pest Control service to treat a variety of pests including, bees, beetles, cockroaches, fleas, mites, mice, rats and wasps.
We would also be happy to give advice to individuals wishing to treat pest problems themselves
We do not provide a service to treat problems with foxes, moles or rabbits.
Fees/Charges: A call out charge of £36 plus the cost of materials and VAT. Estimates will be provided on application.
All officers are based at the Council Offices in Elgin. You can contact Pest Control Officer by either calling in person or telephoning the contact below:
