Pest control is a major issue for businesses in any industry, though is arguably of particular concern for the hospitality sector, as it relies on maintaining a spotlessly clean reputation for good hygiene and a safe environment for both staff and customers. What’s more, there is rigorous legislation in place to enforce good health, hygiene and pest control, which hospitality businesses need to be aware of.

Pest control is a serious matter for all commercial operations. Pest infestations can have a truly devastating impact on businesses in all industries, causing long-term harm to brand reputation, loss of revenue, legal implications and in severe cases, can even lead to closure.

With temperatures soaring this year, many businesses are facing increased pest control problems, particularly from insects which thrive in warmer weather. A recent report from the BBC reveals that calls to the NHS helpline 111 about insect bites have nearly doubled this year, as conditions favour the proliferation of biting bugs.
