📰 West Yorkshire Pest Control featured on BBC News!
We’re proud to have been featured in a recent BBC News article highlighting the growing concerns around fly-tipping and the impact it’s having on rat activity across Bradford.
Our Director, Paul Webster, spoke to the BBC about the issues we’re seeing on the ground, including the increasing number of calls from residents experiencing rats in their homes, gardens and businesses.
🚨 Fly-tipping isn’t just an eyesore — it can create the perfect environment for rats to thrive. Accumulated waste provides food, shelter and nesting opportunities. Even when rubbish is cleared, established rat populations can remain in the surrounding area.
At West Yorkshire Pest Control, we’re seeing first-hand the impact these problems have on local residents and businesses. We believe tackling the issue requires a combination of responsible waste disposal, effective pest management and long-term prevention.
A big thank you to the BBC for highlighting this important issue and giving us the opportunity to share our experience.
