What Is Commercial Pest Control And Why Is It So Important?

Pests can be a major issue for commercial premises, which is why pest control companies like BH Pest Control offer dedicated commercial pest control services specifically for businesses.

But what is commercial pest control? And how does it differ from residential pest control services provided to homes? Keep reading to find out more.

Why Is Effective Commercial Pest Control Important?

Bird control is crucial in commercial settings for several reasons, including:

  • Compliance: Businesses are heavily regulated, and having vermin on your premises can lead to local authorities shutting down your premises.
  • Health Risks: Pests can spread diseases to humans, which can cause issues for your staff and customers.
  • Structural Damage: Many pests, particularly rodents and insects, can cause structural damage to your commercial building that may require costly repairs.
  • Stock Loss: Vermin can also eat stock and contaminate surfaces, which means that food might not be fit for human consumption after being in an infested space, so you may find yourself with an expensive bill to replace damaged items.
  • Reputation Issues: Pest sightings can cause lasting damage to your reputation, especially in this connected age where just one image of pests at your property could be plastered all over the internet forever.

All types of pests, including rats, mice, bed bugs, fleas, ants and birds, can cause issues for commercial sites, which is why working with an experienced pest control provider like BH Pest Control is crucial.

What Is The Difference Between Domestic And Commercial Pest Control?

The main difference between commercial and domestic pest control is the type of support needed. Most homes require fast responses to deal with pest issues, and some pest prevention for obvious issues, but don’t need support on the same scale as commercial premises.

Most commercial sites have many different areas, some of which can face significant risks of vermin. They also contain expensive equipment, machinery and stock, which can be attractive to pests.

As such, ongoing inspections to manage pests are essential to protecting your business operations and reduce the chance of a pest problem.

What Types Of Commercial Pest Control Services Are There?

There are 2 main types of commercial pest control. There are ongoing commercial pest control contracts, which provide ongoing support with regular inspections to ensure a pest-free environment at all times. There is also emergency commercial pest control, where companies book pest control services only when they notice signs of pest infestations.

Commercial Pest Control Contracts

Ongoing commercial pest control contracts are the best way to ensure compliance with relevant health and safety regulations.

This approach to integrated pest management involves regular site visits to inspect the premises and check for pest risks.

Our team can also use pest proofing solutions to prevent infestations and provide advice on high risk areas, ensuring ongoing pest prevention for any commercial properties on your site.

After every inspection, we can provide a full report detailing any potential entry points that have been sealed, and any risks we’ve noticed. This approach helps to stop vermin in the long run, and if any pests do enter your property, our team can quickly provide effective treatments.

Emergency Commercial Pest Control

For businesses without commercial pest control contracts, we also offer emergency pest control solutions to eliminate pest infestations that occur at your premises. Once pest activity is noticed, the company can contact us to get rid of the vermin before it causes major problems.

Our team can remove the pests and carry out basic pest proofing to prevent future issues, but without ongoing visits, we won’t be able to protect buildings from other pests and reduce risks in the long term.

That’s why we usually recommend that businesses using our emergency commercial pest control services consider a contract in the future.
