Rodent control: why call a certified professional

Faced with a rodent infestation, the "do it yourself" temptation is strong. Yet, between tighter biocide regulations and the risks of misuse, rodent control by a certified professional has become the safest and most effective choice.

Increasingly strict regulations

The use of rodenticides is more and more tightly controlled at European level, to protect human health, non-target animals and the environment. Several products once sold freely are now reserved for certified professionals. Certification attests to the mastery of these products and their application.

The risks of a poorly managed treatment

An improvised treatment exposes you to several dangers:

  • poisoning of children, pets or wildlife;
  • resistance caused by repeated under-dosing;
  • failure of the treatment and an infestation that comes back stronger;
  • for food businesses, non-compliance with hygiene standards.

Safety and traceability can't be improvised: that's the whole point of a professional protocol.
