Local Knowledge
The River Soar flows north through Leicester, where the Grand Union Canal joins it, and then past Loughborough to the Trent. Brown rats favour damp river and canal banks, so homes, yards and food businesses near the water are where we see many of our rat jobs.
Leicester is a big, busy city with two universities, the University of Leicester and De Montfort University, and plenty of shared and rented housing. Bed bugs can spread quickly in flats and student lets, and restaurants, takeaways and shops need protection from cockroaches and mice.
Outside the city, Leicestershire is market towns and farmland, from the Vale of Belvoir around Melton to Charnwood Forest. Homes near fields and woods call us about mice and rats moving indoors after harvest, wasp nests, squirrels in lofts and moles in lawns.
Each town page covers the postcodes, the council's own pest service and charges, drive times and the pests we see most there.

Council Or Private?
Leicester City, Hinckley and Bosworth and North West Leicestershire councils run their own pest control services, Leicester treats rats free, and Charnwood now treats only rats and mice. Melton, Harborough, Oadby and Wigston and Blaby offer no pest treatments, so residents there need a private pest controller.
District and unitary councils, not county councils, deal with pests. Under the Prevention of Damage by Pests Act 1949 they have a duty to keep their area free of rats and mice as far as practicable, and they can require landowners to deal with infestations. Councils don't have to offer a treatment service, though, so what's available, what it costs and which pests are covered varies from one council to the next.
In Leicestershire, that means Leicester City Council and the district and borough councils: Blaby, Charnwood, Harborough, Hinckley and Bosworth, Melton, North West Leicestershire, and Oadby and Wigston. Some offer a paid treatment service, usually for rats and mice, while others no longer treat and refer residents to private firms. Each town page shows what the local council offers.
We can help when you need a faster visit, a pest the council doesn't cover, such as bed bugs, cockroaches or squirrels, proofing, or regular commercial visits. Ask us for a price; we'll explain the likely cost before any work starts.
Not sure which to use? We can usually visit sooner, treat pests councils don't (wasps, bed bugs, birds, squirrels), and seal the gaps they get in through. See our pest control prices.
