Pest control
Hygiene pests, such as rodents (brown rat, house rat and house mouse) and vermin (arthropods, e.g. cockroaches, flour moths, bacon beetles), contaminate food and buildings, are destroyers of supplies and foodstuffs and ultimately also cause technical defects.
The role as a trigger of allergies and above all as a vector of diseases (vector function) on humans and animals should not be underestimated, because pests can transmit viruses and bacteria that can cause diseases in humans and animals.
Who should I contact?
The responsibility lies with the property owner. Private owners must turn to private pest controllers. The responsibility for municipal land lies with the respective municipalities.
The responsibility lies with the district and with the district-free city, if health pests are detected,
This includes the necessary determination and assessment of whether, in the specific case, there is a well-founded risk that a further spread of pathogens and thus of diseases is to be feared.
