Generally it is good practice to have pest control at your premises, however, it is frowned upon by the Environmental Health Officers (EHO) if pest control is not in place.
How much damage to your business would it be along with reputation should a pest problem occur or be seen in the public eye?
You risk being fined by the EHO and prosecution by the general public; up to £20,000 per offence and it does happen on a weekly basis.
We aim to offer a pest control package where we place a rodent and insect monitoring programme in place whereby we generally carry out 8 visits per annum, spread out approximately 6/7 weeks apart. Why? This is to ensure visits fall between/during rodent breeding cycles.
Should there be evidence of rodents or insects, we react by either placing extra baits or spraying. This is then checked every few days until the problem is cured and cleared.
The benefits of a pest control package are
that you are covered by due diligence.
As long as you have acted on the advice given by your local technician
regarding housekeeping, proofing and stacking, you have proved you are taking a
course of action.
The chances of any prosecutions is absolutely minimal, minimal risk of any pest
being seen by the general public and shows consideration and care for your
business.
