Having a vacuum cleaner on a pest control service vehicle should be considered to be as important as having a torch or flashlight, but it must be one that is designed to pick up potentially dangerous material and not blow it back into the room through the exhaust.

Furthermore, vacuuming can remove sources of bacterial or viral contamination, such as rodent droppings – think salmonella, E. coli and Hantavirus!
