Animal Welfare and Pest Control

Dog Wardens

Argyll and Bute Council employs four dog wardens, one placed in each area of Argyll.  They deal with all aspects of dog control, such as:

• Promotion of responsible dog ownership
• Enforcement of Dog Fouling legislation and erection of "No Dog Fouling" signs
• Enforcement of Dog Control legislation (Dangerous Dogs)
• Uplift and care of stray dogs

If you have a dog complaint please contact 01546 605514, email enquiries@argyll-bute.gov.uk  or call in to your nearest Customer Service Point.

Pest Control

The presence of rodent or insect pests often causes embarrassment and distress and can lead to loss of business, goodwill, and reputation.  These pests can also contaminate food and add a high risk of contracting food poisoning from their infestation.

If you have an enquiry about pest control and the services we offer, or would like to contact our Pest Control Technicians about a pest control problem,  please call 01546 605514, email enquiries@argyll-bute.gov.uk or call in to your nearest Customer Service Point.
