- Notes: Domestic page read directly; no fee year shown. A search snippet attributed to the council showed higher figures (rats/mice/cockroaches £200 for 3 visits, fleas £135, wasps and ants £65), apparently the commercial contracts page; and a Lancashire Telegraph item reports pest control fees rising in 2026, so these domestic figures may be out of date. Payment in advance by debit card.
