to reduce the risk of insect or rodent infestation should be implemented
as office buildings provide pests with warmth, food and shelter. Catering
and eating areas are particular areas at risk and by ignoring simple pest
control measures this may aid pest infestation and help spread disease and
cause distress amongst staff. Sponsored
