The problems pests cause can be measured in many ways.

Financially, millions of pounds each year are spent by organisations in repairing the damage caused by pests such as rats, mice, birds and cockroaches. Many destroy and contaminate crops, gnaw at electrical cables, damage pipes and deface the fabric of buildings. They are often the cause of fire and floods. The damage of course can have other effects and media headlines such as "Rodents Raid Restaurant" and "Hotel Fined £10,000" can destroy a business overnight.

It is the health implications though that are of the greatest concern. Some pests are carriers of disease harmful to humans and to livestock entering the food chain. In the food sector The Prevention of Damage by Pests Act 1949 insists that you keep your premises free from insects. It also applies to any vehicles used to transport food and prosecution due to breaches of the Food and Drugs Acts are very common. Failure to keep your premises pest free can result in their closure and penalties of up to £20,000 fine for each offence and / or up to two years in prison for serious breaches.

Pest management needs to be carried out in a professional manner and on a continued basis throughout the year, if maximum infestation control is to be effective. Frequent observation that allows early detection of potential problems will permit effective and economical control.
