Monmouthshire County Council has said that severe financial pressures facing them have led to the withdrawal of their pest control service.
This takes effect from 1st April and follows a decision taken at a meeting of the county council on 27th February. The council has had to meet savings of £9m during the financial year 2014/15.
Residents who require a pest control service should search their local Yellow Pages or go on-line to find a company that provides pest control. The council has set aside a contingency sum of £10,000 to assist residents to undertake pest control investigations where the cause of the problem may not be readily apparent.
The council has recorded its thanks to contractors P&P Pest Control who have supplied a quality service to the council.
