How to Protect Commercial Property From Pest Infestations
Keeping commercial property pest-free for property owners and managers can be daunting. However, total pest elimination and control are possible with proper maintenance and care. In addition, with more real estate to cover, pests have plenty of places to hide and make their nests without paying a dime. Therefore, keeping all areas of a commercial property free from uninvited guests will likely top any property owner's list of priorities. Here are some suggestions on how to do so.
Clean and inspect all areas constantly
Bugs and rodents will set up shop in areas that provide a food source and protection. Monitor all areas of the property daily and take note of any rodent droppings. Keep high-traffic areas clean, especially places for food or garbage storage. Eliminating food sources will make the building less attractive to pests. Ensure that trash is adequately contained with sturdy, locking lids. Dark storage areas should also be kept as clutter-free as possible.
Sweeping, mopping, and sanitizing high-traffic areas will go a long way in maintaining a pest-free environment. Even small amounts of crumbs or food debris could provide enough nourishment to keep bugs and rodents invested in the area. Trash receptacles should be emptied into dumpsters and cleaned and sanitized correctly
