by hannahHow Much Does Commercial Pest Control Cost?
Dealing with a pest infestation on your business premises can be devastating, stressful and costly. Many common pests can cause serious damage to your stock and equipment and pose a health risk.
Also, if pests are found on your property, your business could face damage to its reputation. Now that almost everyone has a camera on their phone and access to the internet, it only takes one sighting and a few clicks to permanently associate your business with vermin.
That’s why commercial pest control services are crucial for businesses throughout Milton Keynes and the UK. Both preventative and emergency pest control for commercial properties can save you money in the long run, but many business leaders focus on the upfront cost.
The cost of commercial pest control depends on a wide variety of factors, which we outline in this blog post.
Why Is Commercial Pest Control So Important?
Before we start discussing the cost of professional pest control for businesses, it’s important that you understand why it is so important.
At some point or another, every property will be at risk of a pest problem. This includes homes and commercial buildings. Getting professional help to deal with vermin preemptively and reduce the chances of an infestation before it occurs can reduce the potential damage that vermin can cause.
Pests can cause expensive issues for businesses and pose a health risk to customers and staff. Local authorities can close down businesses, and vermin can cause compliance issues for organisations in heavily regulated industries such as healthcare, hospitality and food preparation.
Companies like BH Pest Control offer commercial support for most common pests, including ants, bed bugs, fleas, cockroaches, rats, mice and birds. So, whether you have a rodent problem or insect issues, commercial pest experts like us are ready to help.
Different types of businesses face different pest problems, with certain pests more likely to infest specific companies. For example, bed bugs are more likely to be an issue in hotel rooms, while rats or cockroaches might be more common in commercial kitchens.
Having a commercial pest control contract in place means that you can reduce the chances of a pest infestation occurring. If it does, even businesses without an annual contract can use emergency commercial pest control to remove pests.
Factors That Affect Commercial Pest Control Prices
Pest control costs for businesses depend on a range of factors, including:
- The Size Of The Property: Size will play a role in the cost of your pest control services, as the larger the commercial property, the more time it will take to inspect and the greater risk there is of multiple points of entry.
- Number Of Locations: For companies with more than one commercial building looking for a quote for a commercial contract, multiple locations will increase the cost.
- Existing Infestations: If you’re already dealing with pest problems and the vermin have created multiple entry points, it might take longer for us to get rid of the pests and any eggs, nests or waste.
- Treatment Type: An annual service contract is generally cheaper in the long term than one-off pest treatments, but reactive emergency pest control will have a lower initial cost.
- Pest Species: Every pest problem has unique challenges, and some vermin take longer than others to successfully treat, so the price of emergency pest control will vary depending on the type of infestation you have.
- Additional Services Needed: In some cases, you might require multiple treatments or additional services, such as bird proofing or wasp nest removal, which can require additional time.
One-Off Pest Control Treatment VS Annual Pest Control Contract
A major factor that affects the price of our commercial pest control service is whether the customer chooses a one-off treatment or ongoing pest control solutions for their business.
Emergency one-off pest control involves us visiting your property after you contact us and using the appropriate treatment to get rid of an existing pest problem. As emergency pest control is booked after the infestation has been noticed, some damage may have already been done to your business’s equipment, stock or reputation.
An annual pest control contract is a preventative measure used by companies to reduce their risk of pest infestations. Our team will provide a risk assessment, followed by professional advice and pest proofing to limit the chances of vermin entering your property.
Ongoing visits will help us monitor the site and check for any new pest risks, and each visit includes proofing the property if any holes are discovered. If an infestation does occur, your contract will ensure that your business gets prompt pest control treatments from our experts.
