Pest Control

Stirling Council takes the health and safety of its staff very seriously and for this reason, the pest control service will no longer carry out any working at height. This involves using ladders or steps to access loft areas or roof spaces and any exterior works requiring the use of ladders or steps.

We apologise for any difficulties that this may cause and would advise customers to contact an alternative pest control contractor who may be able to provide this service.

Service We Provide

We are currently only able to investigate and treat rodent (rats/mice) issues outside a domestic property. To request a Pest Control Service complete the on-line form.

We provide a service for common pests (rats, mice, ants and wasps) during normal office hours.

Target response times are as follows:

High priority (mice, rats, trapped animals) - 2 working days
Low priority (all other pest complaints) - 5 working days

We DO NOT treat bats, if you need advice please contact Scottish Natural Heritage

Report a Dead Animal

On occasion, animals are hit by vehicles and left on or at the side of the road. If you think they animal is causing a hazard, you can report this. The Council will remove dead animals from public roads (excluding motorways) and footpaths.

If the animal is on private land, this would be considered the land owner's responsibility.
If the animal is in water, please contact SEPA who will be able to provide guidance.

If you would like to report abandoned or injured animals please call the SSPCA on 0870 737 7722.
