What is General Pest Control?
General pest control is the practice of managing and eliminating commonly-found pests that infest various spaces and infrastructures. These pests include the following:
- Ants: While they may seem harmless individually, various species of ants can invade commercial properties in search of food and water sources. These ant colonies can become a persistent problem, especially in kitchens and food storage areas.
- Flies: Houseflies and fruit flies are attracted to organic matter, and they can contaminate food, surfaces, and equipment with bacteria and pathogens. Fly infestations are especially common in restaurants and food processing facilities.
- Termites: Termites are a major threat to commercial properties as they weaken their structural integrity. If left unchecked, these cause unwanted accidents and extensive damage over time.
- Bedbugs: In industries like hospitality and healthcare, bedbugs are a serious concern. These tiny insects feed on blood and can infest bedding, furniture, and even clothing leading to itchy bites and even rashes that bring discomfort to your customers.
- Mosquitoes: Mosquitoes are more than just annoying pests; they are carriers of life threatening diseases like malaria, dengue fever, and Zika virus. Stagnant water and poor drainage can create breeding grounds for mosquitoes.
- Cockroaches: Cockroaches are resilient pests that thrive in warm, humid environments. They are universally known to be a symbol of disgust and a sign that your property is poorly maintained. Worse, cockroach infestations can quickly become uncomfortable if not addressed promptly.
- Rodents: Mice and rats are notorious for invading commercial properties. They are adept at finding food sources, gnawing through equipment, and reproducing rapidly. In addition, rodents pose health risks through the transmission of diseases like salmonella.
- Fleas and Ticks: Commonly found on pets, fleas and ticks can also bite humans and transmit diseases. These are common for pet-friendly properties that allow pets on the premises.
The presence of these pests doesn’t only pose potential health hazards but can also disrupt your day-to-day operations and tarnish your reputation. To mitigate and prevent infestations, it is important to consider employing general pest control in commercial properties. By diligently adhering to pest control guidelines, you can prevent them from taking over your properties.
