Why a business premises needs pest control

​Commercial pest control helps business owners protect the health and safety of the people who come into their premises and also the reputation of the business. Some businesses, such as food producers, require pest control services to keep their business registration. Other businesses may require it to reduce insurance costs. There are a number of reasons your industry might be required to have commercial pest control but in the end, there’s nothing more off putting for a customer to be greeted by a rat, cockroach, or trail of ants when they come to work with you. 

What does a commercial pest service do?

Commercial pest control services gives you peace of mind and assurance that your business is meeting its 

regulatory requirements for pest management and keeping the people in the premises safe. This is done through specialised treatments including, baiting, sprays, and visual inspections to treat and prevent pests in the premises.

We believe that prevention is better than cure and that’s why we also conduct thorough and regular visual inspections to look for potential vulnerabilities in the premises and how/where particular items are stored. It’s not just about finding out if we see pests, it’s also about if we see where pests could get in or could hide – given the chance.
