Council area figures for pest-control firms
Food businesses in Coventry listed as awaiting a hygiene inspection: October 2026
Public food hygiene records for Coventry on 26 October 2026 list 645 food businesses as awaiting inspection and 55 with a current rating of 0, 1 or 2. Food businesses need adequate pest control in place by law, and each one is a business a local pest-control firm could introduce itself to.
The "awaiting inspection" count can include businesses that have changed owner, and premises waiting because of council inspection backlogs.
We work with one pest-control firm per area.

0 to 2 ratings given each month
Businesses whose current rating is 0, 1 or 2, by the month that rating was given. A later re-rating removes a business from this count. The first month is partial: ratings given before 29 April are not in the "last 6 months" figure above, so the monthly rows can add up to slightly more than that figure.

| May 2026 | 2 |
