Our commercial rat control process
- Detailed site survey: We inspect internal and external areas, assess access routes, and identify high-risk zones (garbage areas, loading bays, service voids).
- Risk assessment & report: You receive a clear written report with evidence, risk grading and recommended actions for compliance records.
- Immediate containment: Where required we deploy emergency baiting and trapping to reduce activity quickly.
- Proofing & exclusion: We advise and implement sealing, pipe-guarding and structural fixes to block entry points.
- Monitoring & maintenance: Regular checks, bait station servicing and activity logs — ideal for HACCP and audit trails.
Why documentation and compliance matter
Commercial operators must demonstrate effective pest management as part of health & safety and food safety obligations. We supply comprehensive documentation, service logs and corrective action records to help with audits, insurance claims and local authority inspections.
