Commercial Pest Control Services for Your Business

Commercial pest control services are essential to any business. Pests can damage products, contaminate food supplies and turn away customers while also wreaking havoc with wiring, ducting and plumbing infrastructure.

Pests spread diseases that make people ill, so commercial pest control services protect not only your reputation and the wellbeing of employees and customers but also help to preserve health in general.

Cockroach Infestations

Cockroaches can be an ongoing pest issue that poses food safety threats and damage. Their secretions stain surfaces and emit foul odors; while their droppings may also trigger allergies and asthma attacks.

Prevent cockroach infestation by keeping food sealed away in containers and using only clean trash receptacles for trash collection. Also inspect and seal off all entry points into your facility regularly.

Commercial pest control services can assist in stopping cockroach infestation before it gets out of hand. These companies can identify the optimal removal strategy, select appropriate pesticides, monitor traps, and search for nests; as well as train your employees on proper waste disposal practices.

Each cockroach egg casing, called an ootheca, can contain up to 50 eggs that will hatch into nymphs that spread the infestation throughout your building. If you see chew marks in food packaging or any signs of an infestation, contact a professional as soon as possible for professional assistance.

Ant Infestations

Ants can quickly infest homes and businesses in search of food, water and shelter. Ants are known to move swiftly between rooms quickly, invading through open doors or windows or through small cracks in walls or foundation. Eaves or roof peaks may also provide entryways.

Worker ants return food sources back to their colonies via scent or pheromone trails, alerting other ants of potential sources via scent trails. Even just one or two ants could quickly lead to an infestation in your kitchen if food debris remains and containers for food storage remain open and airtight.

Commercial pest control company Pest Control Plus can assist you in avoiding an ant invasion. Along with regularly cleaning and food storage, moisture avoidance in the house as well as promptly cleaning spills can reduce ant infestation. Proper disposal of trash with regular cleanup of trashcans also serves to limit their numbers and intrusion.

Rodents Infestations

Rodents such as rats and mice pose a significant threat to business owners. Notable for their ability to chew through walls and materials, rats can cause fires by nibbling electrical wire insulation; and cause considerable damage to stored goods including cereal boxes, bread loaves, grains, pet food and clothing stored away for safe keeping.

Rodents enter buildings in search of shelter, water and food sources; they also spread diseases like Hepatitis E, Rat-borne Tularemia and Leptospirosis.

To prevent rodent infestation, the best defense is a clean environment free from outdoor debris and weeds, such as firewood. Furthermore, store firewood away from houses or structures, trim tree limbs near roof rafters as needed, store food in rodent-proof containers that have been thoroughly washed prior to storage, and educate employees to report signs of rodent activity so it can be addressed swiftly. Educating employees regarding such activity could also prove useful; encourage employees to report signs quickly.

Bed Bug Infestations

Bed bugs are one of the hardest pests for PMPs to eradicate, being nocturnal wingless insects that feed on blood and can produce up to three generations annually. Bed bugs spread quickly and are difficult to eliminate from places such as hotels or dormitories where people sleep.

First step should be having a pest control technician assess and inspect the infestation, identifying hiding spots and devising an appropriate treatment strategy. Following that, vacuum the area, wash all clothing in hot water and seal any cracks around baseboards, light sockets, or furniture with caulk.

Adult bed bugs are dark brown to black in color and resemble apple seeds in terms of shape and body size. Immature bedbugs, or nymphs, appear translucent like tiny dust particles and leave reddish-brown marks when they bite someone; their bites may also cause itchy reddish-brown marks on skin due to bloodsucker bites which saw through layers of skin before injecting saliva containing anticoagulants and painkillers, resulting in localized swellings on their hosts’ skin surface causing reddish-brown marks which cause reddish-brown marks which leave reddish-brown marks when bites contact occurs between people and bites occur between hosts and users.
