NPTA National Rodent Survey 2007/8 |

|
|
February 2009
In the nine years from its inception in 1998/9 the National Pest Technicians Association
(NPTA) National Rodent Survey has become the most valuable indication of current
urban rat and mouse problems available. While it may be confined to local authority
treatment data, the fact that this is now obtained from the overwhelming majority of UK
councils makes it an invaluable resource for everyone concerned with rodent control in
our local communities.

"The scale of the problem we currently face is all too clear in the marked rise
in annual local authority treatment levels revealed in this year’s National Rodent Survey.
And this despite the significant growth in public sector pest control charging. "
- Martina Flynn, Sorex

In a world of recession and council cutbacks it is refreshing to find that some Local Authorities have not lost touch with the original concept of public health.
Bristol City Council is one of these progressive authorities which still have the public health of the constituents as a priority and in these difficult times still manage to increase budgetary needs in order to meet demand.
