Yorkshire Dales Pest Control effectively deals with all aspects of pest control and management for business, providing a comprehensive, integrated pest management strategy which complies to all industry regulations and requirements set out by the EHO, DEFRA, Food Standards Agency, SALSA and CQC, to name a few.
I tailor pest management solutions specifically for each business, depending on individual need.

To maintain the high standards of work and adhere to the strict statutory regulations and codes of practice that our industry sets out, it is essential to visit monthly.
Regular monthly visits allow me to get a good picture of how best to manage pests and set up control measures within your business. As each month of the year poses a different risk to the last, we can monitor how things change throughout the year and deal with them accordingly.
Working according to the best practices outlined in The Campaign for Responsible Rodenticide Use (CRRU), I don’t leave toxic bait as standard. With regular monitoring, I can determine when toxic bait may need introducing. If that happens, by law it must be checked monthly at the very least.
This also prevents a small issue becoming bigger and damaging your business and reputation.
You may think more visits = more expense! This may not be the case, as I’ve taken over from contractors in the past who visited less, but charged more, for less effective measures in place!
Call me to discuss, I can put a quote together for you, specifically for your needs.
Being a business owner which involves any kind of foodstuffs, you will be well aware of the stringent laws and regulations in place to safeguard public health. They mandate effective pest control in premises which encounter food at any point in the process - from storage facilities and warehousing, manufacturing or processing plants, to cafes, restaurants, grocery stores and supermarkets.
These premises all have to adhere to strict hygiene practices to minimise the risk of any food borne illnesses and prevent contamination. Pest control, management and prevention is part of this.
Non-compliance can result in hefty fines, closure of the business, loss of income and even legal action.
Key regulations in this sector include:
The Food Safety Act 1990: Mandates food businesses to ensure food is safe to eat and emphasises the importance of maintaining hygienic conditions, which includes effective pest control measures.
Food Hygiene Regulations 2006: Require food premises to implement appropriate pest control procedures to prevent contamination and ensure food safety.
Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP): HACCP an internationally recognised system that helps food businesses identify, evaluate, and control hazards, including pest infestation.
Implementing a robust pest management system is a critical component of HACCP compliance.

With so many opportunities for pests to thrive in agricultural settings, integrated pest management becomes essential not only to protect crops and livestock, but to prevent animal feed and stores from being consumed or contaminated too!
As anyone in agriculture will know, effective pest control is also mandated by several regulations to ensure food safety, protect the environment, and promote sustainable practices:
Plant Protection Products (Sustainable Use) Regulations 2012 (UK): This regulation requires farmers to implement Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategies and ensure proper training for those applying pesticides.
The Food and Environment Protection Act 1985 (UK): This act governs the use of pesticides and aims to protect human health, the environment, and non-target species. It includes provisions for the approval, sale, supply, and use of pesticides.
Control of Pesticides Regulations 1986 (UK): These regulations require that pesticides are used safely and effectively, with specific conditions for their storage, handling, and application.
Common Agricultural Policy (CAP): This EU policy includes guidelines for pest management practices that support environmental protection and biodiversity.

Commercial living premises, including university halls, Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs), blocks of flats and holiday accommodation require rigorous pest control measures to ensure the safety and well-being of residents.
Pests in these environments can pose serious health risks, cause property damage, and may lead to reputational damage and loss of income for property managers.
Why Pest Control is Essential in Commercial Living Premises:
Regulatory Compliance:
As with all industries, commercial living spaces have various regulations to comply with, which our commercial service contracts adhere to.
This is a varied sector, from the hospitality industry to blocks of flats and office spaces. Here are the main regulations, which our monthly visits will comply with:

Management of Houses in Multiple Occupation (England) Regulations 2006: These regulations require landlords of HMOs to maintain common areas and facilities, which includes implementing effective pest control measures.
Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974: This act requires property managers to ensure the health and safety of residents, employees, and visitors, which includes maintaining a pest-free environment.
