Businesses have long struggled with pest activity in their buildings. These unwelcome intruders can cause extensive damage and pose serious health risks to employees, customers, and owners alike. Preventing their entry is the most effective way to tackle this issue.
Anderson Pest Solutions emphasizes exclusion services as a vital component of its integrated pest management (IPM) program, effectively keeping pests out of your building and limiting their movement. Our IPM approach safeguards your business by addressing the root cause of infestations and delivering practical solutions. Our technicians collaborate with you to create a personalized plan tailored to your business needs.
Pests That Frequently Infest Business
Not only can pests damage your property and pose health hazards, but they can also harm your business’s reputation. A pest problem can make your business seem unsanitary and unappealing. Be on the lookout for these frequent intruders:
- Rodents: Rodents such as mice and rats can cause extensive damage by gnawing on structures, equipment, and even electrical wiring. Mice can slip through gaps as small as ¼ inch, while rats only need an ½ inch opening to enter.
- Birds and Bats: Birds and bats can create noise, mess, and hygiene issues for your property. Their droppings may carry diseases, posing significant health risks. Feral pigeons can enter through openings as small as two inches, House Sparrows through ¾ inch gaps, and bats through spaces as tiny as ⅜ inch.
- Wildlife: Nuisance wildlife such as raccoons, squirrels, and opossums can wreak havoc by chewing on electrical wires and insulation and sneaking into buildings through roof vents or windows left open.
- Insects: Larger overwintering pests, including cockroaches, stink bugs, and Asian lady beetles, can quickly tarnish your business’s image. Cockroaches are especially concerning, as they carry bacteria and diseases and require just a 1/16-inch gap to invade.
Pest Solutions to Prevent Pest Infestations for Your Business
The first step in defending your business against pests is pest-proofing. When combined with an effective pest management plan, it helps prevent infestations. Anderson Pest Solutions provides a full range of Flexi Armour™ products, along with other cutting-edge pest-proofing options, including:
