Some problems would be very difficult to eradicate completely without the use of pesticides. At Manchester pest control we recognise, however, that there are many situations where trapping or repelling pests in Manchester will achieve the desired result or where pest problems can be resolved or prevented by denying pests access to your home. Wherever possible Protec pest control offers these options.
Are there any laws restricting the use of pesticides?
To be sold legally in the UK all pesticides, synthetic or natural, must be approved by the Government. This approval is undertaken by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) or Department of the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) depending on the type of product. The approval considers safety, humaneness, impact on the environment and effectiveness.
Can I buy the same pesticides that Pest Controllers Use?
No. The use of some pesticides is restricted to trained professionals ONLY products that have been approved under the government regulations, for use by the general public.
How do I contact a professional pest controller?
Protec Pest Control is a member of the British Pest Control Association (npta). The NTPA sets criteria for its members which include requirements for technician training, the possession of public and product liability insurance and a commitment to professionalism.
I have a mouse problem. I have called a professional pest controller in Manchester who tells me that he will need to visit my house at least three times. Why can’t the job be done in one visit?
What your contractor is telling you is not unreasonable. If the job requires the use of mouse baits these will need to be checked and topped up until all of the mice have been eradicated. When this has been achieved, the pest controller will need to return once more to remove all baits from site. This is a legal requirement for safety reasons.www.protecpestcontrol.co.uk/blog
