Public Health Pests

There are a number of pests that can affect homes. Whilst some of these have public health implications, most do not cause disease and many are relatively harmless.

Torfaen County Borough Council offers a free service for householders to treat the following public health pests:

• Rats
• Mice
• Bed Bugs
• Cockroaches

If you need one of these services, you should contact our Pest Control Service on 01633 647621 / 647622, so that we can arrange to visit your home to carry out any treatment needed.

 

A range of advice leaflets about public health pests are available, which give information on how to avoid problems and how to spot the signs that you have an infestation. Download a copy of the relevant leaflet below:
