Civil & Municipal


As well as being the leading experts in pest control, Whelan Pest Prevention  understands the needs of those working in the public sector, regulated environments and not-for-profit organisations.

While this describes a wide array of different environments, the principle we work to is to provide a customised service to meet your specific needs.

However, if you are working in any other type of organisation and would like to find out about how we can deal with a pest problem or prevent them occurring in the first place, please call us on 08456 80 80 98 to arrange a visit by a specialist surveyor.

We have highlighted three municipal areas that we are commonly consulted on:

  •     Local Government
  •     Healthcare


Local Government: Protecting Residents and Creating Value for Councils

With public buildings to run, housing stock to maintain and offices to manage, local councils operate some of the country’s largest property portfolios. They also have a statutory duty to achieve value for money in all the services they buy.

Whelan Pest Prevention can help local authorities to meet these aims by providing best value services for the protection of residents and council assets from pest problems.

Whelan Pest Prevention supports Council Environmental Health Departments with specialist services such as bird control, as well as providing pest control professionals to supplement the council’s pest control team to meet peak demand or for specific projects like non-native pests, such as the Oak Processionary Moth. Where a local council chooses to outsource some or all of its pest control and related activities to Whelan Pest Prevention , our service will exceed the service level agreements that we undertake on behalf of the council. This will include a clear demonstration of best value that will be reviewed as part of the governance agreement. Where employees transfer to Whelan Pest Prevention , we will of course abide by the Protection of Employment Regulations as set out by the Acquired Rights Directives. However, just as importantly, we also offer transferring colleagues the opportunity to develop their skills and career path with the leading pest control group.

Whichever way we provide services to a local council, the key differentiator is how we work with estate managers, building services and environmental health to deliver effective, environmentally-sensitive and value-based pest control that contributes to the quality of life of residents.

To find out more about how we can help councils deliver cost-effective protection from pest problems, call us on 08456 80 80 98  to arrange a visit by a key account manager who understands the needs of local authorities.

Healthcare: Keeping Healthcare Facilities Free of Pests

Pest control has an important role in preventing secondary infection in hospitals, surgeries and nursing homes.


By their nature, healthcare facilities are busy places and it is difficult to prevent rodents, flies, cockroaches and other insects from entering the building and thriving with the food and warmth they can find there.


These pests are a serious threat in every environment, but in primary healthcare, the risk of cross-contamination is acute.


As the leading expert in pest Prevention, Whelan Pest Prevention  has the expertise to deliver the highest level of reassurance against pests, while being sensitive to the special needs of working in a healthcare environment. Our technicians are trained to ensure they maintain the highest standards of hygiene to avoid cross-contamination. They are sensitive to the impact of being seen in public areas and they will only use products that are appropriate for the environment. In particular, Whelan Pest Prevention’s range of innovative treatments can be used in high-sensitivity areas where traditional chemical products would be inappropriate.

Whelan Pest Prevention   has been working with hospital trusts and other healthcare providers for many years to anticipate and prevent potential pest risks. Our approach is to develop a resilient cordon around the perimeter of healthcare facilities, use bait stations in higher risk areas and monitor and respond to any signs of incursion.

If there is a problem, our rapid response commitment will mean that your technician will be with you quickly to deal with the pest. They will identify the root cause of the infestation and will advise on how to ensure that the problem will not come back.

To find out more about how we can deal with any pest problem or prevent them occurring in your hospital, clinic or nursing home, please call us on 08456 80 80 98 to arrange a visit by a key account manager who understands the needs of healthcare facilities.
