Covid 19 and pest control

Its been an intensive few weeks for all pest management professionals being locked down and knowing that public health pests in Norfolk & the UK have been left to go unchecked and uncontrolled, which is one thing the USA identified as an essential service very early on.

So it comes with great relief the following government statement can be released.   

Following extensive lobbying by BPCA and CEPA, pest management has been confirmed as an essential sector during the Covid-19 pandemic by George Eustice, Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra).

According to Defra, pest management is covered in the key worker list under the "food, necessary goods & public health" section, specifically concerning hygiene & public health.

This means if you any kind of public health pest, IE rodents or certain types of insects we can treat.

As always give us a call for an informal chat and more information.
