We Dispose of Chemicals and Dead Pests Safely

Pest control requires the use of chemicals and the safe disposal of dead pests. This process can impact both the environment and public health. Here’s how we safely handle pest control chemicals and dead pests, and why it’s important to do so.

Proper disposal of pest control chemicals

Pest control chemicals are an effective method for eliminating pests. However, they need to be handled carefully to prevent harm to the environment and humans. Our pest control technicians follow strict procedures to ensure we store, use, and dispose of properly. We store pest control chemicals in secure containers. This helps prevent accidental spills and exposure. We also follow the manufacturer’s instructions and UK regulations when using these chemicals. These instructions ensure that chemicals are applie with clear labelsd correctly, minimising the risk of harm.

When it comes to disposal, we never pour chemicals down drains or into the soil. This is because doing so can contaminate water sources and harm wildlife. Instead, we use certified disposal facilities to handle pest control chemicals. These facilities are equipped to safely process and neutralise hazardous substances. Additionally, we always transport chemicals in approved containers. We take care to prevent leaks or accidents during transportation.

We also work closely with local authorities to comply with all relevant waste disposal laws. This helps ensure the safety of our communities and the environment. Moreover, we provide training to our technicians on the safe handling of pest control chemicals. This training is essential because it reduces the risk of accidents and ensures effective pest control treatments.

Safe disposal of dead pests

Dealing with dead pests is another important aspect of pest control. It’s crucial to dispose of them properly to avoid health risks and unpleasant odours. Dead pests can carry diseases and attract other pests. Therefore, prompt and proper disposal is necessary. Our technicians use protective gear to handle dead pests safely. This prevents the spread of germs and protects our team from potential hazards.

In addition, pests like rats and mice may have ingested poison. We place dead pests in sealed, labelled bags to contain odours and prevent leaks. We transport these bags to licensed waste disposal facilities. At the disposal facilities, they incinerate or process the dead pests in accordance with environmental regulations. Incineration is a safe and effective method for disposing of dead pests. It prevents the spread of diseases, the dangers of other wildlife being harmed and eliminates odours.

We also take measures to prevent dead pests from being left in open areas. This is important because it deters scavengers and keeps our environment clean. Our team has the training to identify potential hazards and take appropriate action. This includes removing dead pests from hard-to-reach areas and disposing of them safely.
