Pest Control Leeds, West Yorkshire, UK


Throughout Leeds, both in the inner-city and the rural outskirts, pest control services are inundated with calls from concerned residents. For a number of years, the City of Leeds has been facing an unprecedented rise in requests for pest management assistance related to not just the influx of rats and mice, but flying insects too, including calling on pest control for nest removal services to get rid of ants, hornets, and over the summer, wasp nests.

Pest Control Services: A Key Service in England

Right at the time when Leeds was facing a rat epidemic in March of 2020, lockdown shut the sector down. After lobbying by trade industry bodies. Westminster finally U-turned their decision to give pest control services the green light to help fight the initial epidemic. And called for pest control services to help fight the battle plaguing Leeds and the wider West Yorkshire district for at least the past 3-years!

The Yorkshire Evening Post published statistics for Leeds City Council pest control requests in 2019, showing they'd received 8,322 pest control calls in the past two years, so going back to 2017. The fight remains ongoing for pest control: Leeds residents need immediate assistance to control Leeds' huge pest problems. This is reflected in the 2020 government decision to U-turn on the key worker status, and get pest control professionals back into the field.

Apex Environmental Leeds, is providing much-needed pest control services in Leeds, assisting homeowners and tenants across the social and private tenant sector to control rat and mice infestations.

The most affected regions in need of professional pest control services in Leeds is the Gipton and Harehills Ward. In these locations, there has been a heightened increase in rat activity - most prominently, the Rattus Norvegicus species. The rat is identifiable as a brown rat, weighing around 0.5 kg, which burrows their way into properties where they take up residence in the walls, under the floorboards, and in roof spaces.

Pest control specialists are needed to bring any rat infestation under control as these rodents urinate consistently, breed like wildfire, and pose a real risk to public health from diseases including salmonella, and although more rarely, leptospirosis (Weil's Disease).
