The eradication of insects and rodents which are transmitters of disease is a very significant part of the local authority's service to the community. Rats and mice, cockroaches, fleas and wasps are all universally regarded as unacceptable in the home or workplace and we provide a rapid service to poison these pests.
We also provide advice and information on how to prevent any recurrence and have power to require occupiers to remove accumulations which are providing sustenance or harborage for public health pests. All the poisons used by our staff are as environmentally acceptable as possible and have low toxicity to non-target species.

Bees
The Council does not carry out control measures for bees on Enviromental grounds, as they are so essential to the well being of the Welsh Countryside.
If you have a swarm of bees on your property, they may just be resting and may move on in a day or so.
The local Authorities' Enviromental Health Deptment has contact with local Beekeepers, who can if appropriate, come and remove and rehome the swarm.
If you have a query please contact Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council on the details below.
