Why Control Pests?

• Pests can spread disease by carrying the pathogens responsible for human and animal disease
• Pests frequently cause stress and allergic reactions by their presence in the human environment
• Pests can damage property directly, for example when rodents gnaw through cables
• Pests can contaminate areas which must be kept clean, such as food preparation areas
• The presence of pests may deter potential customers from entering your building!

Legislation

Pest control is covered by a great deal of legislation which governs, among many other things, the permitted destruction of pests, the handling and disposal of pesticides and the requirements for food safety.
