Pest Control Service Jobs in Barnet by Type and Year

Pest control service data from the London Borough of Barnet tracks the number of pest treatment jobs completed annually. The dataset covers the period from 2010 to 2014 and categorizes jobs by pest type. It specifically reflects only the jobs booked and undertaken by the council's Pest Control service, not the number of enquiries received.

Use Cases

• Analyzing trends in pest treatment demand over time based on the year-by-year job counts.
• Comparing the prevalence of different pest types based on the categorized job numbers.
• Assessing the operational workload of a self-funded local government service based on the annual job metrics.
• Benchmarking local pest control service performance against other boroughs using the standardized job data.

Strengths

• Provides a clear five-year time series from 2010 to 2014.
• Focuses on concrete, completed service actions (jobs undertaken), not just enquiries.
• Data is cross-platform, appearing on multiple open data portals, indicating established use.

Limitations

• Column names and exact data structure are unknown, limiting detailed analysis.
• Metadata for size, row count, and license is missing from all sources.
• The last update date conflicts between sources (2015 vs. 2026), creating uncertainty about data currency.
