Pest and vermin control in Glasgow: Renters vs homeowners
For homeowners:
You’re generally responsible for arranging and paying for pest control unless the issue is caused by a defect the builder or previous owner should have fixed. If you’re selling your home, you may need to provide evidence the problem has been treated — keep your documentation.
For renters:
If pests are caused by the property’s condition (e.g., gaps in walls, broken drains), your landlord is usually responsible for fixing the issue. Report the problem to them in writing as soon as possible.
If it’s due to your actions (e.g., poor waste management), you may need to arrange and pay for pest removal yourself. Glasgow City Council environmental health pest control services can also advise — you can contact them on the Glasgow City Council pest control phone number listed on their website.
