Payments
Treatment from our Pest Control Officers can only be booked in if we receive payment in advance. See our Service charges for details of the fee. Payment can be made via telephone using credit/debit card, or cheque/postal orders can be sent to us by post. See Making payments to South Norfolk Council for details.
Treatment process
When you request an appointment you will be offered a date (Monday to Fridays only). An officer will visit your property on that date, between the hours of 9am – 3.30pm. You must be there for this visit.
On that day you are welcome to call us from 9am, giving us the reference number, and we can then give you a three hour time slot for when our Pest Control Officer will visit.

We will do our best to make sure we deliver this service to you in the timescales given below. Due to increases in demand these may not always be met.
- We aim to treat problems inside your premises within three working days;
- We aim to treat problems outside your premises with five working days.
