⚠️ A Reminder to Choose Your Pest Control Provider Carefully ⚠️
One of our technicians attended a site yesterday after a customer contacted us expressing concerns about the service they had received from another pest control company.
Upon arrival, we discovered several issues that raised serious concerns. Rodenticide grain had been left loose on the ground and inside bait stations, multiple active ingredients appeared to be in use, and there was no evidence of a documented CRRU-compliant risk assessment.
Laying down rodenticides is always a last resort in open areas, and practices such as these can pose unnecessary risks to non-target wildlife, pets, and members of the public. In this particular case, the customer owns a cat, making the situation even more concerning.
Our technician immediately removed all loose bait that was accessible and provided recommendations for the existing contractor to return and remove their equipment from the site.
This serves as an important reminder that when choosing a pest control provider, you should always carry out your checks. Look for companies that are members of recognised industry bodies such as the British Pest Control Association, follow CRRU guidelines, hold the correct insurances, and can demonstrate safe working practices.
Pest control isn’t just about solving a problem – it’s about doing so safely, professionally, and responsibly.
