Insect Control

Various insects are classed as pests due to the significant problems they can cause in both domestic and commercial settings. Common culprits include ants, bed bugs, cockroaches, fleas, and wasps. These insects can damage property, contaminate food, and pose health risks through bites, stings, and the spread of diseases. Ants, for instance, can infiltrate kitchens in search of food, while bed bugs cause distressing infestations that are difficult to eradicate. Cockroaches are notorious for spreading bacteria, and fleas can transmit diseases and cause allergic reactions. Wasps can be aggressive and deliver painful stings, particularly when their nests are disturbed. Professional pest control services are essential in effectively managing these issues, providing tailored solutions to eliminate infestations and prevent recurrence, ensuring a safe and healthy environment.

Insect control: The legal side

Businesses involved in the manufacturing, storage, or packaging of food must adhere to strict food safety regulations. The Food Safety Act 1990 and The Food Safety (General Food Hygiene) Regulations 1995 necessitate these businesses to take adequate measures to prevent pest access, infestation, and contamination. Noncompliance can result in severe penalties, including hefty fines and imprisonment. However, having a contract with a professional pest control company can serve as a defence of 'due diligence.' Additionally, it is crucial to comply with the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 to ensure the well-being of employees and visitors, avoiding potential health hazards caused by pest-related issues.
