Reporting a pest problem

Outdoor pest control

Pests in parks

If you notice rats or mice in any of Southwark's parks please contact us:

• by telephone: 020 7525 2000 (open 24 hours)
• via email: parks@southwark.gov.uk.

Pests on privately owned land

If rats and mice are causing a problem on privately owned land, eg an overgrown garden, building site etc, we can serve a notice on the landowner. The notice will require that the land is treated and the problem dealt with.

We may not be able to help with the following:

• unregistered land. Unregistered land is simply land, the ownership of which is not registered at the Land Registry
• accumulations of inert material such as building rubble
• overgrown gardens. Unless it can be proven that it is attracting vermin.
