Winchester City Council Pest Control Closure
Effective January 1st, 2026, Winchester City Council will suspend its pest control services. Discover alternative solutions with RIDTEK Pest Control to ensure your home remains pest-free.
Important Information for Winchester Residents
As of the start of 2026, Winchester City Council will no longer provide pest control services. This decision impacts all residents who previously relied on the council for managing pest issues. The suspension means that residents must now seek private pest control services to handle infestations.
The council will still address pest issues originating from neighboring properties through their Environmental Protection Team. They have the authority to enforce actions under the Prevention of Damage by Pests Act 1949, ensuring that landowners take necessary steps to manage infestations.
For residents needing immediate pest control services, RIDTEK Pest Control offers comprehensive solutions to tackle a variety of pest problems. We encourage residents to contact us for professional assistance and to ensure their homes remain safe and pest-free.

Legal Framework
Pest Control Legislation
The Prevention of Damage by Pests Act 1949 empowers Winchester City Council to address pest issues. Under this law, the Council can mandate property owners to eliminate infestations of rats or mice. This includes removing food sources and nesting areas that attract these pests. If a complaint is filed, an officer will investigate and may issue a legal notice to rectify the problem. It’s crucial for property owners to maintain their premises to prevent pest-related issues, ensuring compliance with the Act.
