Sometimes unwanted visitors like ants, mice or rats come to call. You are responsible for dealing with them unless they are in a shared communal area in a sheltered scheme or block of flats or coming from an empty property owned by us. You can buy products to deal with most pests from hardware stores but if a problem continues you may need to contact a qualified pest control company. Please try to use humane, non-lethal techniques.
