Prevention Tips for Businesses

Posted on April 16, 2010

Pest prevention is the first step in pest control. Below are just a few ways that your business can avoid pest infestations and the potential health and property threats that pests and rodents can pose.

“Pest-proof” your business by being vigilant of building maintenance needs
Dispose of garbage regularly and store in sealed containers.
Seal cracks and holes on the outside of your business, including entry points for utilities and pipes.
Don’t overlook proper drainage at the foundation; install gutters or diverts, which will channel water away from the building.
Be sure your employees keep food sealed and stored properly.
Clean high-volume areas daily, such as public eating areas and kitchenettes, where crumbs and trash are more likely to build up.
Call a your closest A1 professional to inspect for pests and rodents, identify the problem and control the pest(s) using an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach. Integrated Pest Management is a process involving common sense and sound solutions for treating and controlling pests. These solutions incorporate three basic steps: 1) inspection, 2) identification and 3) treatment. Treatment options vary from sealing cracks and removing food and water sources to pesticide treatments when necessary.
