Pests and animals may seriously harm your business. Pest and animal concerns, such as ants, termites, rats, and others, can make working conditions unbearable for your personnel. As more firms return to working in offices, many business owners must update their commercial pest control policies. While most pests prefer to hide within the limits of your business, it’s critical to remain on top of pest infestation concerns. Several subtle ways to continue commercial pest management may help a business.
Protect Your Business
The most important reason should be to keep pests out of your business. Pest activity inside or outside your company might cause structural damage. The majority of pests can survive and thrive practically everywhere there is food or water. Within the walls, rodents, flies, termites, and even ants may dwell and feast on your business without your knowledge. If you have a rat infestation in your business, they can nibble on electrical wire, perhaps causing an electrical fire.
Save Time and Money
Commercial pest control services can help business owners save money. Our yearly service package covers you for the whole year. Scheduling pest control treatments on a regular basis protect your structure and property by minimizing or eliminating the potential of infestations. Detecting and eradicating pests before they become an infestation can save you time and money in the long run. When pests are detected and removed by a professional pest control company.
Treatment Tailored To Your Needs
When you hire a commercial pest control firm, their educated and experienced specialists work hard to keep your workplace pest-free. They understand the demands of your sector and will employ specialized approaches to prevent and remove pests in your organization. A skilled pest control specialist recognizes the need of determining the root of the problem. They will collaborate with your team to determine where pests are entering your home, giving you peace of mind.
Keep Your Employees Happy
Pests roaming around the office may have an impact on many parts of your organization, including productivity. When a person believes they are working in an infected office, they are less likely to perform effectively. Because many customers and staff will be returning to the workplace in 2022, any insect or wildlife activity must be monitored and dealt with. By keeping a commercial pest control service for your business, you can ensure that your workplace is pest-free.
Why Commercial Pest Control Should Be Taken Seriously
When we hear of pest control a lot of people automatically think that it is relating to residential properties. But a lot of the time this is not the case. Pest control for your home is important. After all it is the place that you and your loved ones reside in for the majority of the time. But have you thought about the safety in your place of work? Commercial pest control in Sacramento has never been more important, especially when it comes to the well being of your employees, colleagues, and customers. There are a few reasons why there has been an increase in the presence of common pests in places of work. Lets take a look.
Pests Like To Be Left Alone
It is no coincidence that there has been an increase in the need for commercial pest control. We as a society are busier than ever, working long hours, trying to fit everything into a busy schedule, and constantly distracted from the minute things that are happening around us. It is in environments like this that certain pests (drywood termites, rodents, and carpenter ants) thrive. During the day when phones are ringing, there is constant noise from outside traffic and people conversing; do you think that anybody will notice the small scuttles of a rat or mouse? Or do you think that instead of having a sales deadline hanging over their head, the average worker will notice a slight warping of door frames in the building? Not a chance. That is why the owner should be looking into getting frequent WDO inspections (more on that later).
Some Pests Are Nocturnal
Unlike homes or any residential property, commercial buildings like schools and restaurants for the majority are left unattended at night. For your common pests like rodents who are nocturnal, it gives them a chance to travel around looking for food, make nests, breed, and generally do what they want undisturbed for the entire night. That is why we at Official Pest Prevention always encourage frequent rat extermination services that we offer. Rodent control is so important as there is a general fear of the little critters!
Does Commercial Pest Control Have A Negative Effect On A Business
There is a misconception that if your business property is undergoing frequent pest control services potential customers will be turned off about engaging with you. However we like to put a positive spin on it, it is better to have proactive commercial pest control services applied rather than reactive. Our frequent WDO inspections program has our technicians (discreetly) inspect your place. Although they are looking for WDO’s (wood destroying organism) specifically, it is not hard to find the signs of other pests such as mice and rats. We have found that it is far better for business if we find them first, allowing us to proactively deal with the problem before any of your customers are even aware there is one.
Why Is A Commercial Pest Control Service Important?
Nobody likes encountering pests at any establishment. Colleagues and employees won’t want to continually come into a property knowing it is infested. Worse still is your business getting a reputation for being unclean and not professional from your customers? But the main reason for frequent commercial pest control inspections is safety. WDO’s such as drywood termites, subterranean termites, carpenter ants, and fungi’s can make commercial buildings a safety hazard. Structurally the building is unstable. Colleagues and customers can injure themselves and you could potentially be facing legal charges. Here is more information why WDO Inspections are so important.
Types Of Pests Found In Commercial Buildings
So what are the common pests you should be looking out for when it comes to commercial buildings, and how can you impede their presence? Let’s take a look at the usual suspects:
Rodent Control
As we have explained above, rodents are a serious problem when it comes to commercial buildings. They are nocturnal, prefer to be left undisturbed, breed very quickly, and can cause severe damage to a building by chewing through electrical wires. They can also become very territorial when it comes to defending their family, although small in comparison, they are known to bite and scratch. On top of all of that, people in general have a fear and distaste for these little critters. You can learn more about rodent control.
Commercial Termite Treatment
Termites are the most common of WDO’s (wood destroying organism). We have gone into a lot of detail recently about termites because at this time of year, at the beginning of spring they are more prevalent, and you have to be extra vigilant because they fly the nest in search of different areas to infest. This process is known as termite swarming. There are discreet methods in treating termites. If the area of infestation is known, we can drill holes in the wall and pump the interior with special foam that smothers and poisons them. Your customers will not be able to tell that a termite control service has been applied, as humans are not susceptible to the poison. For other termite treatment options. We also provide a premium ant control service. Don’t let those carpenter ants have all the fun!
Pigeon Pest Control
Pigeons are becoming a more common pest problem than people are realizing. Casually known as ‘rats with wings’ by some, pigeons can be quite the deterrent for local business owners, especially in the food industry. They do not have a fear of humans, are able to come in close contact with them, and are always looking for food that has been dropped on the ground. They also excrete everywhere, something that none of your customers or employees appreciate. So what are the most common forms of pigeon repellant? At Official Pest Prevention, we use live pigeon traps, exclusion devices (pigeon spikes, bird netting, wires and electrified wires), and pigeon deterrents (predatory noises that keep pigeons away, and sticky gel). For more information on the best pigeon control in Sacramento and its regions, you can visit our pigeon pest control page.
As we have already explained commercial pest control is so important in keeping your frequent customers happy. It only takes one bad review when it comes to pests to deter them from your business, so why take the risk? Frequent pest inspections, pest control treatments, and proactive pest services will aid in a thriving workplace.
