  I don't have any pests why do I need a contract?

  As part of a pest control contract with you, we complete actionable recommendations to mitigate against pest activity, helping to reduce the risk of pest infestations before they occur. A contract will also provide you with our vigilance, giving you an earlier warning of potential pest issues, so a small problem can be quickly controlled, before it has a chance to esculate, saving you time and money. There are also legal requirements that hospitality businesses must adhere to such as the Food Safety Act 1990 (which makes provision for the supply of food fit for consumption) & the Food Hygeine (England/Scotlsnd/Wales/Ireland) Regulations 2006 (that states any risk of infestation by rodents and insects must be prevented) both require proof of due diligence from businesses.
