Hotel and restaurant owners and managers are often faced with infestations of rats, cockroaches, or other pests within their premises. In addition to causing serious health issues, such infestations can significantly damage the reputation of the establishment.
If you own or manage a hotel or restaurant, you know how essential it is to keep your facilities free from rats, cockroaches, and other pests. Beyond health risks, infestations can have a severe impact on your brand image and customer trust.
It is important to emphasize that infestations are not necessarily the result of poor cleanliness. Rats, mice, and ants can easily enter through small gaps, while cockroaches and other unwanted insects may be unintentionally introduced through goods, deliveries, customers, or staff.
In the past, many managers handled these issues themselves or relied on cleaning companies that used poisons or toxic baits. However, according to the Swiss Federal Ordinance on Special Authorization for Pest Control (OALPar), in force since August 1, 2005, the professional use of rodenticides (poisons for rats and other rodents) and insecticides requires a Special Authorization issued by the Federal Office of Public Health. This authorization is granted only after specific training and the successful completion of a technical examination.
It is important to note that, in the event of an incident, liability may apply not only to the operator but also to those who commissioned the work without verifying compliance with current regulations.
