Resources
Plain explanations of what the Food Regulations 2015, MPI guidance and the Unit Titles Act 2010 ask of a commercial site about pests, written for the people who answer to a verifier or a committee.
How these guides are written
Each guide cites the regulation or section it relies on, links to the primary source, and states the date it was checked. Where the law is silent or unsettled, the guide says so rather than filling the gap. The guides are general information, not legal advice, and they are written to be useful whether or not you ever request a site audit.

In a unit title building, who deals with a pest problem depends on where the pests are and what they affect. This guide sets out the split under the Unit Titles Act 2010 and how committees can make it work in practice.
A pest control contract is worth what it obliges the contractor to do and to record. This guide is written to be useful whoever you appoint.
