Pest Control
The responsibility for the control and eradication of rats and mice rests with the occupier of the land on which the infestation occurs. This obligation applies universally.
Where necessary, the Environmental Health Officers may investigate complaints, issue statutory notices to land occupiers, and require remedial action to be undertaken.
To contact the Environmental Health Officers, telephone 045 920 267 or 045 920 208 or email to ehla.kildare@hse.ie
The Environmental Health Service has produced an information leaflet detailing how to eliminate an existing rodent problem and also outlining precautions that can be taken to avoid a rodent infestation. Many rodent problems can occur due to rodents being disturbed during building works a similar leaflet has also been produced aimed at those in the construction industry.
