Hi. Please could you provide a breakdown of pest control on the tube, providing information on the type of pest (pigeons, mice, rats etc.), location, spend on pest control and how this has changed over time. I would like this to be broken down by tube line if possible. It would also be good to get this broken down by year, for the last three available annual periods. Separately, has there been any analysis of the levels of rodents on the tube, on each individual line, since the commencing of the night tube? Thanks.

Thank you for your email received by Transport for London (TfL) on 29 August 2019.

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Environmental Information Regulations and our information access policy.  I can confirm we hold some of the information you require. You asked:

Please could you provide a breakdown of pest control on the tube, providing information on the type of pest (pigeons, mice, rats etc.), location, spend on pest control and how this has changed over time.

I would like this to be broken down by tube line if possible. It would also be good to get this broken down by year, for the last three available annual periods.

Please see below costs for the target cost contract for LU stations, depots and operational buildings.

April 2017 – March 2018 - £735,690

April 2018 – March 2019 - £735,690

We do not have the costings per location. We pay a fixed amount per period for a resource to cover LU premises and operational buildings for pest control. We do not hold a break down by the type of pest, location or tube line.

Separately, has there been any analysis of the levels of rodents on the tube, on each individual line, since the commencing of the night tube?

We do not hold any analysis on the above since the night tube.  

If this is not the information you are looking for, or if you are unable to access it for some reason, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal as well as information on copyright and what to do if you would like to re-use any of the information we have disclosed.

Yours sincerely
