Pest Control Technicians at Leicester City Council work to eradicate and exclude a variety of common pests in homes and businesses throughout Leicester. On 7th April 2003 new charges came into place for some treatments. Click here for a list of current charges.

 

We would like to seek your views on the charges and would be grateful if you could take a few minutes to complete our questionnaire (click the link).
