Why are pest control contracts important?
The law requires that food premises are designed to prevent pest access and harbourage and that, where necessary, screening is provided to prevent a risk of infestation and/or contamination. Adequate procedures must be in place to ensure pests are controlled or eradicated.
Contamination
rodents, birds and insects contaminate food, equipment and working surfaces and many pests carry viruses, bacteria, spores or parasites.
Damage
rats and mice can start serious fires by gnawing electrical wiring and create floods by chewing through pipes. Insect infestation may cause the contamination of packaged goods, thus calling for a recall of all products from the shops.
Loss of business
prosecutions and fines for pest-infested premises can hit the headlines. Reports are made in local press as it sells papers. These headlines can lead to loss of business and can sometimes lead to closure.
Caution
a pest infestation may lead to the premises being closed due to the “imminent risk to health” of the public.
Legislation
The Food Safety Act 1990 and the Food Hygiene Regulations 1995 insist food premises are kept free from pests. Failure to keep your premises pest free can result in closure and penalties of up to a £20,000 fine for each offence or up to six months in prison for serious breaches.
