Professional Pest Control For Your Retail Facility

The retail industry is broad and varied, but all retailers can fall prey to a pest infestation. Food stores can attract mice, rats, and cockroaches, while clothing and furniture shops can be invaded by moths and beetles. Distribution centres and warehouses are often plagued by birds.

The harm done by these pests can compromise the retail value of your products and resulting in serious financial loss. Even worse, these pests can also spread disease to your employees and customers.

That includes mice and rats, which can spread rat-bite fever, salmonellosis, leptospirosis, and E. coli infection, as well as being carriers of parasitic insects, ticks, and mites. Rodents can also do serious structural damage to your facility by chewing through wiring and drywall.

Several families of moths or their larvae can make food products unfit for consumption, as well as damage clothing, carpets, and furniture. Meanwhile, pest birds can be aggressive towards your employees and customers – and their excrement can spread disease and even erode buildings.

The diversity of the retail industry and the pests that can plague your business makes it almost impossible to remedy an infestation without specialist knowledge. To truly end a pest infestation and prevent pests invading your business in future, you need professional pest control services.
