09 Feb Kallvest’s Commercial & Industrial Pest Control Services

As the old saying goes, you only get to make a first impression once. And that is particularly true when it comes to your business. Clients and customers, when visiting your offices, warehouses, or facilities will judge your company or operation based on what they see, before you even begin your sales pitch! Using pest control services will not only ensure a clean working environment but will make a positive first impression.

 

Pests can be a problem wherever you are, and just because you cannot see them, doesn’t mean that they aren’t there. Did you know that many pests are more active at night and that you may not see them at all during the day, although they may leave behind clues of their presence, such as droppings or the sharp smell of their urine?

 

What is a pest?

A pest is seen as any organism that is harmful to humans or human concerns, including items such as crop and livestock damage, and as a nuisance to humans either within the workplace or home environment. Apart from causing havoc as a nuisance, pests can also carry diseases, which can be serious.

What diseases can pests carry?

Pests can carry a large number of diseases and cause many illnesses. The deadliest creature in the world, raking up more than 750,000 deaths annually, is the common mosquito that carries malaria.

Other pests carrying diseases include, amongst others:

• Flies – Cholera, Dysentery
• Ticks – Tick bit fever and Lyme’s disease
• Cockroaches – Dysentery
• Rats & Mice – Salmonella, Leptospirosis, plague, and typhus.

Where do pests hide?

Being so tiny, thin, and flat, some pests can hide between files, books, and even in pages of a book! They can slip between sealed cupboards, under filing cabinets, and into closed drawers.

 

Larger pests such as mice and rats hide under cabinets, behind and within areas that aren’t cleaned often, such as desks, bookcases, and large plants.

Does your workplace require integrated pest management?

Yes, the answer to this question is clear – pest management is essential in any working environment. Integrated pest management aims to limit and manage pest damage by using a variety of pest control methods, coupled with an intricate knowledge of pests and their behaviour to best manage them.

What are the advantages of pest management?

• Rodents and other pests can cause serious health problems or hazards within the workplace environment, making it a toxic and dangerous place for people to work. They may become ill, losing the company’s precious resources, and lowering productivity with people sick and off work.
• Ridding an environment of inserts can assist in lowering the germs, dust, and allergens in the workplace, again making it a safer, healthier environment.
• With integrated pest management solutions in place, there is less risk to the business, adding extra protection to your stock, assets, and food items and saving the business money in the long run.
• Pests can cause damage to infrastructure, with adequate pest management solutions in place, it can assist in damage control.

 

What types of pests are typically found in commercial and industrial spaces?

There are numerous types of pests found throughout warehouses, offices, factories, and other industrial spaces. Many pests, once they have made themselves at home, are difficult to eradicate and will require professional pest control services, as the over-the-counter measures will not cut it!

 

Common pests include:

• Ants
• Cockroaches
• Mosquitos
• Rodents, such as mice and rats
• Textile pests including various beetles and moths
• Fleas
• Termites
• Flies
• Birds

How do I keep pests away from the work environment?

There are a couple of tips to assist in pest control within the office or work environment:

• Seal possible pest entrances: Seal areas that could be entry points for pests. Ensure that windows close properly, and seal cracks.
• Keep areas clean: Ensure that countertops are adequately cleaned and wiped down in the kitchen or canteen after food preparations with all leftover food packed away, either in the fridge or in sealed containers. Employees often enjoy a snack at their desks, ensure that all leftover crumbs, packets, and containers are also removed from the desktops and that the desk is wiped clean.
• Empty your bins: Emptying rubbish bins both in the kitchen and throughout the workplace will ensure that there isn’t anything worth scavenging for and will not attract pests such as ants, cockroaches, and mice. Ensure that outside bins are properly closed and regularly emptied.
• Good bathroom etiquette: Pests come in all forms and sizes. Bathroom areas remain a good hiding place for pests. Ensure that leaks are quickly prioritized and that the area is rigorously cleaned regularly to stop possible inhabitants like spiders, ants, mosquitos, and cockroaches from moving in.
• Maintain cleanliness throughout the area: If there is nowhere to hide and nothing to eat, pests will quickly move on, looking for another target. Keep your work areas, whether it be an upmarket office or a huge industrial warehouse, as clean as possible and clutter-free, offering no dark spaces to hide or food to consume.
• Get rid of standing water: Outside water features, an old, blocked drain or even some buckets with rain water standing in them, can attract pests. Limit, reduce, or simply eliminate standing water altogether.
