Rat and mouse control is free for domestic customers.
The Council makes a charge for all other pest control services as shown below.
For those pests that we provide a treatment or advice service for, when you contact us we will offer you an appointment for the next available time slot. Although most of our work is carried out between 9 and 5 we will try to fit in around your commitments. We cannot make timed appointments but will offer an appointment for either the morning (8.30am to 12.30pm) or afternoon (1.00pm to 4.30pm)
Please telephone us on 023 9254 5505, 5506, 5507 or 5583 or by email at ehs@gosport.gov.uk or alternatively please complete a treatment service request on-line by following this link.
