There is no quicker way to ruin a customer’s experience (or tank a 5-star rating) than a pest problem. Don’t risk a cloud of gnats hanging over the fairway, a few biting mosquitoes dining on guests on the patio, or a single rat that scurries into view. Commercial pest control service is as essential for retail spaces, as it is for country clubs, multi-unit residential properties and any other commercial property. But there is a lot that you and your staff can do to roll up the welcome mat for pests. These strategies should be a part of any business pest control plan.
Common Pests in Commercial Settings
Like the rest of us, pests go where they can meet their basic needs for food, water, and shelter. The pests common in commercial settings vary by the type of business you run. Food service companies attract pests that eat what we do, like rats, cockroaches, flies, and ants. Golf courses attract those that feed on the grounds and the golfers, like gnats, aphids, turfgrass ants, and mosquitoes. Mosquito Joe® commercial pest control strategies target the critters attracted to your premises.
Why Does Commercial Pest Control Matter?
You know commercial pest control is essential to protecting your property, resources, clientele, and customer base. Different pests can cause significant damage if they enter your premises unchecked (rodents, we’re looking at you). You invest too much money in your business supplies to have them chewed on and destroyed. Silverfish, cockroaches, and rodents damage paper products, while carpenter ants, bedbugs, and fleas damage and infest furniture. Moths and carpet beetles damage textiles and clothing, and rodents chew through electrical wiring. Mosquito Joe’s commercial pest control targets critters on your property so we can keep them out of your buildings and supplies.
Business pest control protects against more than property damage. The critters that eat up your supplies are unsanitary, risking health code violations and worse. Invest in pest control for businesses to protect your staff and customers from pest-borne diseases and allergens.
Pest Control Solutions for Every Industry
Every industry has its own commercial pest control challenges. Mosquito Joe provides tailored solutions for each, but proper facility hygiene is also critical.
Pet & Child Care Facilities
Protecting children and pets from fleas, ticks, and ants is essential. Regularly clean and disinfect floors and all surfaces. Keep play areas clean and treat pets for fleas and ticks.
Restaurants & Food Service Businesses
Rodents, roaches, flies, and ants are attracted to the same food we are. Strict sanitation procedures are essential, including storing food in sealed containers, regularly disposing of garbage, and maintaining clean drains.
Retail Stores & Warehouses
Rodents, moths, beetles, and roaches can find their way in through tiny cracks and crevices. To help keep them out, trim vegetation regularly, manage standing water to prevent mosquito breeding, and properly contain trash and food waste.
Event Venues & Hospitality
To prevent mosquitoes, flies, ants, and roaches from crashing the festivities, ensure proper waste management, use outdoor lighting that doesn’t attract insects, and keep food and dining areas clean.
Offices & Corporate Buildings
Ants, rodents, and cockroaches are not on the payroll. So, maintain cleanliness in kitchen and dining areas, manage waste efficiently, and minimize clutter where pests can hide.
Parks & Recreation Facilities
When mosquitoes, ticks, ants, or rodents come into play, no one has any fun. To help keep them out, trim vegetation regularly, manage standing water to prevent mosquito breeding, and properly contain trash and food waste.
Healthcare Facilities & Medical Offices
Caring for sick people involves resources that attract ants, flies, rodents, and cockroaches. Adhere to strict sanitation and waste disposal protocols, seal entry points, and regularly inspect and clean ventilation systems.
