Education

We will provide for schools informative talks on Pest control so young people will have a better understanding of the creatures in our environment. Many species of insects are extremely beneficial and with a suitable understanding can live along side us without the need for control.
 
We will use as far as possible as many visual aids and samples as possible to provide an interesting and highly educational talk.
 
We can also provide talks to various organised bodies such as Rotary clubs and Women's Institutes.
 
The Dog service is currently working with the Schools Education department to provide Responsible dog owner's talks to schools. Talks can take the form of dog welfare, legislation, dog behaviour and responsible dog ownership.
 
We also provide dog-deterrent sprays, which will be incorporated in a dog behaviour presentation. These have been attended by such organisations as the Royal Mail that have found them very beneficial. There is a reasonable charge to supply dog deterrent sprays and more information can be provided by contacting the Dog service, contact details at the bottom of the page.
 
We believe that knowledge and understanding of Pest control and Dog behaviour will provide a better understanding and create a better environment in which to live.
 
Advice is always possible over the telephone. Insect identification can be undertaken if the sample is sent into the Pest Control Team.  It should be sent in a crushproof container with contact details attached.
 
For further information, please contact the Pest and Dog Team .
