Pest control: who is responsible?


Nobody likes sharing their home with unwanted visitors, especially when they make you itch! But with the summer fast approaching (maybe), certain little critters come out to play.

Uninvited guests
Obviously when your friends and family outstay their welcome you can politely ask them to leave, however pests are not so easy to reason with. Of course we’re talking the creepy crawly kind. Such as wasps setting up home in your loft, ants marching across your worktops, bedbugs sharing your mattress, fleas jumping around in your carpets and mice and rats hoovering up crumbs in your kitchen.

Help infestation!
Fortunately there are companies in existence that specialise in eradicating such unwanted guests, but who’s responsible for the costs?

When it’s your landlord’s responsibility
If pesky rats have gained access to your home through defective areas of the property, such as broken sewer pipes or outlet holes, then your landlord must take responsibility. They must also address the defect and cover the costs of both the repair and pest control.

When it’s your responsibility
Unfortunately you are responsible for covering the costs of pest control when its wasps, fleas, mice and other pests associated with everyday occupation of the property.

Sleep tight, don’t let the bedbugs bite!
