Pest Control Across North Yorkshire
North Yorkshire Council harmonised pest control fees across the county in 2025, setting charges at 108 pounds for rats, 98 pounds for mice and 175 pounds for grey squirrels. The council aims to offer appointments within two working days, with a 55 pound per hour call-out charge for property visits – though summer months can mean longer waits.
North Yorkshire is seeing an increase in rat infestations, driven by the popularity of compost heaps, bird feeding and intensifying agriculture. One facility reported the rat problem was “worse than ever” and had to close a playground on public health grounds while working with the council to address it.
York’s medieval buildings, narrow streets and extensive sewer network provide ideal conditions for rats and mice, with properties near the River Ouse and Foss particularly affected. Harrogate and Ripon see steady residential demand, while the tourist economy across the Dales and Moors creates seasonal peaks in wasp and bed bug callouts.
Scarborough and Whitby deal with seagull problems during nesting season. JG Pest Control covers all of North Yorkshire and responds faster than council waiting times.
