Checked October 2026Dartford council pest control
Dartford Borough Council does not run a pest control service. Residents use a private pest controller instead.
What the council treats
DartfordThere is no council service to book. A private pest controller is the route for every pest.
- Businesses: the council does not treat businesses; use a private firm
- Notes: Council's Pest Control Notice page says it 'does not currently provide a pest control service' (refers to BPCA and Kent Trading Standards). But its 2025/26 fees schedule (dartford.gov.uk/downloads/file/2576/fees-and-charges-2025-26) listed rats free, mice £83 (£51 for Housing Benefit/CTR/Universal Credit), wasp nest £75 (second nest £40), and a pest control contract was tendered for 1 Aug 2026 to 31 Jul 2028 (NPTA tender notice), so the service may resume: re-check. No fees recorded because the council states no current service.
Status: No service. Fees as published, read on the council's site; the page gives no fee year, checked 2026-10-02.
