Freedom of information (FOI) disclosure log

Date Sent: July 07, 2026

Conclusion: No info held

Description: I request all records you hold relating to the known injury or death of animals that are not rats or mice that have occurred or are suspected to have occurred as a result of rodent control operations. This means operations that were commissioned, administered, or delivered by the council, whether through in-house pest control staff or by external contractors engaged by the council. My request includes casualties resulting from any lethal or live-capture rodent control method where non-target mortality occurred, including but not limited to: - Anticoagulant or acute rodenticide use (such as suspected secondary poisoning of raptors, hedgehogs, mustelids, or other wildlife) - Spring or kill traps (Fenn traps, tunnel traps, or similar) - Glue boards or adhesive traps - Any other method I am requesting all records held, as far back as they are available in a readily accessible format. If full compliance would exceed the cost limit, please prioritise the most recent records available and advise me of the earliest year that falls within the limit. This request covers both confirmed casualties and cases where a causal link to rodent control was suspected but not formally established, for example where an animal was found dead in or near bait stations, traps or treatment areas
