The four most common types of snake found in Britain are:
Slow worms can be mistaken for snakes but are in fact legless lizards.
It is illegal to kill, injure or sell any native British snake or lizard.
In the UK snakes are not dealt with as pests, as problems are not common and dealing with them requires particular skills.
Find out more about how to identify a snake on the RSPCA website.
It is an offence to kill or injure a badger, or to damage or interfere with a set unless you have a licence from a statutory authority.
Find out more about protection and licences on GOV.UK.
All bat species, their breeding sites and resting places are protected by law. It’s an offence to disturb or destroy bats, or any place they’re living (roosting), even if it’s inside your home.
Contact the National Bat Helpline Link if you have any concerns and need advice. It can arrange for one of Natural England's volunteer bat roost visitors to inspect your property.
Although endangered, bees are not protected and can be treated. We recommend exploring all other avenues before considering eradication as bees play an important role in our environment and are valuable pollinators and are under threat due to loss of habitat and exposure to pesticides.
Please visit the British Bee Keepers Association website to find out how to tell the difference between wasps, bees and hornets.
Honeybee swarms or other bee species on Council land can be reported to us but if a swarm of Honeybees is on private land please contact Bedfordshire Beekeepers Association to arrange a swarm collection however, please note they will not remove other bee species.
We do not deal with the control of any bird species. Every wild bird and their eggs in the UK is protected by law under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.
Please visit the British Pest Control Association website for more information on bird control.
Everyone has experienced having flies in their home. Although flies do have the potential to spread germs and diseases If you maintain good hygiene standards and food isn't freely available then there should be no problems.
Readily available fly killer aerosols will kill flies quickly, and sticky fly papers are also available.
We do not deal with fox control. The fox is not classed as vermin by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA).
The RSPCA has a handy 'living with foxes' guide if you want to know how to deal with foxes in your garden.
We have no statutory powers or legal rights to eradicate foxes on private or other land. Anyone who harms a fox could face a jail sentence of up to six months and an unlimited fine.
Moles are rarely seen as these mammals live mostly underground. They dig out a system of tunnels and chambers and dispose of the excavated soil by throwing up molehills on the surface.
Moles don’t feed on plants, they are carnivorous feeding on invertebrates that fall into their system of tunnels. Any plant damage they cause is incidental to their lifestyle. Molehills on lawns can be removed before mowing and collapsed surface tunnels filled to maintain a level lawn surface.
Mole activity is usually greatest in late winter and early spring.
Moles are very territorial and in many cases the mole hills seen in a garden are the activity of just one individual.
Where possible moles should be treated as part of the biodiversity that gardens support. Should the activities of a mole be considered too disruptive there are several steps which can be taken to mitigate its activities or encourage them to move elsewhere or control moles.
Please visit the RSPCA website for more information on living with moles.
Although we do not offer treatments for moles some pest controllers do and more information on moles and pest controllers that offer treatments for them can be found on the British Pest Control Association (BPCA) website.
The presence of rats in open spaces such as parks and retail parks is often due to an accumulation of litter and refuse or overflowing bins.
If you wish to report a rat problem at this type of location and there is a build-up of litter or refuse or an overflowing bin, please report it to us. Do not use this option to request a pest control treatment at your property.
Silverfish are not considered a nuisance pest and are not a risk to human health. Adults are approximately 12mm long, slim and silver/grey in colour. Their abdomen is tapered at the end giving them a fish like appearance, hence their name.
Silverfish are usually found in moist or damp areas such as kitchens, but are also found in bathrooms, under floors and in basements.
If you suspect you have silverfish, then the best control methods are ones you can do yourself. Dispose of any stacks of paper (such as magazines and newspapers) or old clothing. Place any clothing or books you wish to save into a freezer (wrapped in plastic) for four to seven days. Ensure the plastic is left on until the items have thawed. The severe cold will kill the insects.
Sealing holes, cracks and gaps in affected rooms can help restrict their movements to other areas. Locate and identify why the room is damp/humid and take steps to remedy it.
We do not provide a pest control service for the treatment or identification of spiders.
To remove a spider without killing it, invert a small carton over it and slide a piece of card between the opening and the surface on which the spider rests.
Where multiple spiders require controlling, this is usually achieved by physical collection and web destruction. If this isn't possible, control may be achieved by the removal of prey.
See the Natural History Museum website for guidance on how to identify false widow spiders.
Grey squirrels are experts at gaining access to areas of our homes, such as loft spaces.
Good climbers, squirrels will often take advantage of fence lines or rows of conifers. To stop grey squirrels infesting your roof space you should seal up access routes using chicken wire. Ensure there are no young or adult squirrels in your loft space before carrying out proofing work or pest control treatment.
Squirrels will often chew loft insulation and stuff it into a corner. The nest may also have a large opening.
Other signs to look for is a strong smell of rodent urine. Squirrels like to scent mark around their home so you may get a strong musky or urine smell. They are also most active during the day. If you hear most of the noise during the day and a little in the early night then it is most likely to be squirrels.
The last things to look for is signs of chewing, fur and sightings of the squirrel itself.
Although we do not offer treatments for squirrels many pest controllers do and more information on squirrel control and pest controllers that offer treatments for them can be found on the British Pest Control Association (BPCA) website.
There are three species that enter houses from the garden - one of which, the pill woodlouse, rolls up into a tight ball when disturbed.
Woodlice are harmless feeders upon rotten wood or other vegetable matter in cool, damp areas. They typically live underneath stones, clumps of plants, logs, or doormats, from which they may crawl into dark corners of a house. Rockeries with aubrietia are great favourites with them.
No treatment is necessary but if they persist put right any dampness, remove infested vegetation and use an insecticidal powder or long-lasting spray around door-thresholds or other points of entry. Amateur use products are available from your local garden centre or hardware store. Just make sure you select a product labelled for control of woodlice.
For other pests we don’t offer a treatment for the British Pest Control Association (BPCA) has a comprehensive list of advice and pest control company search functions on its website and some pest controllers may offer treatments for some of species above if permitted by law.
