Animal Services - Pest Control

General Information

The Moray Council has a duty in terms of The Prevention of Damage by Pests Act 1949, to ensure that infestations of rats and mice are eradicated (this does not mean, however, that we will carry out the work or make arrangements for the work to be carried out).

It is, generally speaking, either the owner or the occupier of the land who is responsible for ensuring that infestations are eradicated.
