Pest Control Across Wales
Wales presents a unique mix of pest control challenges. Its urban centres – Cardiff, Swansea, Newport and Wrexham – face the same rodent and insect pressures as any major city, while its extensive rural landscape and coastline bring additional concerns from agricultural pests to nesting seagulls.
Cardiff Council figures revealed a 10% increase in rat-related callouts between 2022 and 2023, with areas such as Cathays, Splott and Canton seeing the highest concentrations. Private pest controllers in the capital have reported an 80% rise in rat enquiries since late 2023, driven in part by changes to waste collection and the move from hard bins to recycling sacks in many residential streets.
The Welsh Government’s ban on glue traps, which came into effect in October 2023, has also changed the landscape for pest management. While welcomed on animal welfare grounds, it has required pest professionals to adapt their methods – something our technicians are fully trained and equipped to handle.
Along the Welsh coast, herring gulls remain a persistent problem. Swansea’s city centre – particularly the Kingsway and Wind Street areas – sees regular complaints during the May to July nesting season, and several Welsh councils have explored egg-oiling and deterrent programmes to manage the issue.
JG Pest Control operates throughout Wales and is equipped to handle any pest situation, urban or rural.

Frequently Asked Questions: Pest Control in Wales
What pests are most common in Wales?
Rats and mice are the most frequently reported pests across Welsh towns and cities, with Cardiff seeing a steady increase in rodent callouts in recent years. Wasps are the biggest summer concern, particularly in South Wales, while seagulls are a year-round issue in coastal areas like Swansea, Llandudno and Barry. Bed bugs, fleas and cockroaches are also common in urban properties.
How quickly can you respond to a pest emergency in Wales?
We offer same-day emergency callouts across Wales. Our technicians are based throughout South and North Wales, so we can typically reach you within a few hours of your call. For urgent situations – such as a wasp nest near an entrance or a rat sighting in a kitchen – we prioritise rapid response.
Do you cover all of Wales, including rural areas?
Yes. While most of our callouts are in Cardiff, Swansea, Newport and the South Wales valleys, we provide pest control services across the whole of Wales, including Pembrokeshire, Ceredigion, Powys and the North Wales coast. Rural properties often face specific challenges such as moles, rabbits and birds, and our technicians have extensive experience with these.
Has the Welsh glue trap ban affected pest control methods?
The Glue Traps (Offences) Act came into force in Wales in October 2023, banning the use of glue traps for rodent control. Our technicians are fully trained in alternative, equally effective methods including snap traps, bait stations and proofing measures. The ban has not reduced our ability to resolve rodent infestations effectively.
How much does pest control cost in Wales?
Costs vary depending on the type of pest, the severity of the infestation and the size of the property. We provide free, no-obligation quotes over the phone. Call 029 2267 0770 to discuss your situation and get an accurate price before we visit.
