Municipal administrators are often required to deal with rat and rodent infestations, which can pose health risks and damage the public image of the area.
In the past, these infestations were often managed directly by municipalities through the use of toxic baits distributed throughout public spaces and sewer systems.
However, in accordance with 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 specific Special Authorization issued by the Federal Office of Public Health, following dedicated training and the successful completion of a technical examination.
It is important to note that, in the event of an incident, liability may extend not only to the operator but also to the contracting authority if compliance with current regulations has not been properly verified.
To ensure complete peace of mind, BITIS disinfestazioni SA offers professional and certified pest control services for municipal facilities and for the protection of local communities.
