Pest Prevention Tips for Businesses
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 Hughes pest control professional to inspect for pests and rodents, identify the problem and control the pest(s) using our STEPS Total Protection System utilizing an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach.
