Tips for Dealing With Fall Pests

September is here, and that means fall is just around the corner. That also means it is a good time now for building managers to evaluate their pest management strategies. As more and more little critters find the outdoors too cold for their comfort, many will almost certainly try to find a warmer spot inside buildings. The five most common types of pests that impact businesses are rodents, cockroaches, flies, ants, and stored product pests like moths and weevils. Terminix Commercial offers four strategies to deal with such creatures.

One, be sure to control the point of access. It is absolutely crucial to inspect physical entry points to the facility, as stopping pests at the point of entry is the simplest way to avoid a pest mess. Two, managers should know where and what to inspect. After all, pests can appear without a sound, so routine inspections for signs of an infestation are a must. Three, implement sanitation procedures early and often. Finally, make it a team effort. The article’s author concludes, “Proactively identifying and resolving pest challenges is a tough task, and requires partnership among janitorial, facilities, and pest management staff.”
