This document provides guidelines designed to minimise pest problems that may be created inadvertently by the work of architects, developers and builders in the construction industry. It covers those aspects of pest management that are relevant to planning, design, demolition and construction.
The document has been produced by the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health Olympic Working Group. It is not intended to be fully inclusive but aims to provide the key principles of best practice. The annexes provide more detailed information on specific pests.
