About pest control services
Rodenticides fall under a stewardship regime that restricts professional-grade products. Landlords have duties where an infestation stems from disrepair, and councils still handle some domestic rodent work, often for a fee. Treatment without finding the entry point or food source is a repeat visit waiting to happen.
