When you find a rat or mouse infestation in your house or at work, then you have two options:
- Get rid or mice and rats yourself
- Use professional pest control services to exterminate mice or rats
If you have a rodent infestation at work, then health and safety of clients and staff is the priority and professional rodent pest control is always recommended. A business serving food to the public has to show that the pest control at the premises is managed. Ideally a pest control contract for businesses delivered by a pest control company qualified to deliver business or commercial pest control is the best solution for this.
The cost of a pest control contract for business, such as restaurants or commercial premises, will vary according to the size of the property. Your pest control provider will arrange regular routine visits to check for signs of rodent infestation, and re-bait as needed. More regular visits are required if baiting inside and outside on a routine basis, and so the cost will increase accordingly.
A pest control for business service should be around £60 – £80 per month for monthly visits for an average size restaurant or café. Pest control contracts for warehouses or property of a similar size will be larger due to the increased number of bait boxes needed and the time involved in checking for signs of mouse or rat infestation. For a larger warehouse or yard, a pest control contract should cost in the region of £120 – £200 per month.
A good pest control company will have a call out service available for all contract clients. This essentially means that any rodent activity noticed in between visits is dealt with quickly, ideally within 24 hours, and at no extra cost. The cost of additional pest control call out fees should be covered within the pest control contract provided.
There’s no need to pay over the odds for pest control, if a pest control contract is expensive it’s worth shopping around. Some of the larger national pest control companies charge more for business pest control contracts or commercial pest control, than smaller locally based pest control companies. Often the smaller, local pest control companies offer a more personal pest control service, and for less money.
Pest control for businesses, or commercial pest control contracts, are worthwhile. They safeguard your business and your customers, as well as ensuring all your pest control management is properly documented in the event of Environmental Health inspections. Pest control contracts do not need to be a significant expense to your business, find a local, trusted pest control company with a reliable pest control contract service, and know your pest control needs are taken care of.
