Pest control
For food premises and public buildings, pest control is an audit item as much as a nuisance — an inspector will ask to see the reporting before they ask whether you have a problem. Regency runs contract and reactive pest control with documentation written for that conversation.
What the contract covers
- Rodent, insect and bird control
- Contract monitoring with scheduled visits, or one-off call-out
- Bait station mapping and audit-ready reporting
- Proofing works to stop reinfestation
- Bird deterrent and fouling clean-down
- Integrated with cleaning and waste contracts where you hold both
- Advice on the housekeeping causes, not just the symptoms
Who we do this for
- Food and hospitality
- Public buildings
- Housing and commercial premises
- Warehousing
Common questions
- Contract or call-out — which do I need?
- If you handle food, store stock or answer to an auditor, a contract: the value is the record of scheduled visits, not the visits themselves. For a one-off problem in an office, a call-out is usually the right answer.
- Why does proofing matter more than baiting?
- Because baiting deals with the animals that are already inside and proofing deals with why they got in. Treating without proofing produces a contract that runs for years and never finishes.
- What causes most infestations in commercial premises?
- Waste handling and housekeeping, nearly always — bin areas, spillages behind equipment, and doors propped open. It is why holding pest control and cleaning with one contractor tends to work better: the same account manager sees both halves of the problem.
- Will an inspector accept your reporting?
- That is what it is written for — station mapping, visit records, findings and actions, in a form a food safety or housing inspector can read without translation.
- Are the treatments safe around food and people?
- Yes, when applied correctly — products, placement and timing are chosen for the setting, and treatment in food premises is scheduled around production rather than dropped into the middle of it.
- How long does it take to clear an infestation?
- Rodents typically a few weeks of monitored treatment; insects vary enormously by species and life cycle. Anyone promising a single visit is selling a visit rather than a result.
