Pest Prevention

Pest prevention is far better than pest removal; it’s much more advisable to prevent the creatures entering your building and becoming a nuisance than it is trying to get rid of them once they’ve found their home there!

Pests are one of the many nuisances that can disrupt your place of business. They may seem harmless, but they can create a multitude of issues, ranging from contamination to added costs. No one is entirely immune to infestation, regardless of how tidy your warehouse may be. However, with the proper knowledge, you can prevent, identify and remove pests—the right way.

By far, the best way to protect your building is by integrating prevention techniques into your everyday practices. This is both a critical step and effective strategy when it comes to avoiding pests. Routine cleaning is a must, but there are also some specifics that can aid in deterring animals or insects.

Here are six prevention methods to practice at your facility:

1. Remove any sources of food, water or shelter.
2. Store items in safe and enclosed containers.
3. Dispose of garbage regularly with a tightly closed lid.
4. Reduce clutter or areas where pests can hide.
5. Seal and close off any cracks or holes to eliminate outside entry.
6. Perform routine cleaning and surveying from the roof to the basement floor.

The repellents we use at Pest-Tec tend to be traps, chemical sprays, insecticides and advice. Advice is one of the most important tools we use because so often it is the change in habits which bring the best pest prevention. For instance, thorough waste management and cleaning, the clearance of stagnant water and good drain cleaning will greatly reduce the ability for pests to breed.
