Pest Prevention and Rout to Non-Toxic Pest Management

AgriPest Management are striving towards a minimal non-toxic pest control service.

We have become acutely aware that rodenticides are being misused within both the domestic and commercial environments. This is not just by domestic users but shockingly, professionals as well.

Rodenticides if used correctly can be a fast and highly effective method of pest control however there is an increased risk to non target species if not applied correctly.

Once a rodent has taken a lethal dose of rodenticide it can leave the property to die. If a poisoned carcass is out in the elements then it is open to other “non target” species to take the carcass and ingest the poison. This is known as secondary poisoning.

The last thing any quality pest control service wants to do is cause secondary poisoning. It puts many species at risk including birds of prey, hawks, small mammals, foxes, dogs, cats, and many others.

So How Can We Prevent Secondary Poisoning?

AgriPest management use several methods of pest eradication. When you use a trusted, local pest control service you will be minimising the risk of any negligent pest control methods.

AgriPest Management also emphasise the importance of building repairs and proofing. Once the current infestation is removed it is vital that all access points are sealed up to prevent a future infestation. By stopping rodents accessing your building there will be no need for poisons and in turn eliminating the need for rodenticides which stops the risk of killing non-target species in its tracks!

AgriPest Management use several materials and techniques to prevent rodent access.
