Pest Control Across Cumbria
Cumberland Council (formerly Carlisle City Council) provides pest control services across the region, but the county’s vast rural landscape means many residents and businesses are better served by private contractors who can respond more quickly.
Cumbria’s landscape of lakes, fells and farmland supports a wide range of wildlife, but some of it becomes a problem when it moves into buildings. Rodents are the most common complaint, with rats and mice seeking shelter during the colder months. The Lake District’s tourism industry brings additional challenges - bed and breakfasts, holiday cottages and hotels can suffer from bed bug infestations brought in by guests, and wasps nesting in outbuildings are a regular summer issue.
Pest controllers operating in Cumbria need to cover a large area, with technicians based in Carlisle, Penrith, Workington, Whitehaven, Barrow, Kendal and the Lake District towns. Response times from council services can be slow given the distances involved.
JG Pest Control operates throughout Cumbria and aims to have a technician on-site within hours of a call, covering everything from the Scottish border to the southern lakes.
