  • VC.1 – A site survey is a record of every inspection and/or survey undertaken to look for signs of rodent activity and/or environmental management requirements
  • VC.2 – Permanent baiting is the application of a rodenticide product when no active infestation is present. Permanent baiting is strictly limited to sites with a high potential for reinvasion when other methods of control have proven insufficient and can only be carried out by professional users and only with products authorised for this use
