Is It Time To Invest In Pest Control For Your Alabama Business?

The Pests That Invade Alabama Businesses

Finding the right commercial pest control can be difficult at first because you may not even be certain which pests are invading your business.

In our area, the different pests that can potentially harm your business include:

• Ants
• Rodents
• Birds
• Cockroaches
• Bed bugs
• Termites
• Stinging insects

Any of these pests can be incredibly damaging for your business, but a lot of the time you will not even know that you require commercial pest control services until it is too late. Many of these pests can hide behind the scenes, slowly damaging your business and jeopardizing the health and safety of your employees and customers, and when their presence is finally made known, the damage has already been done.

All The Ways Pests Can Damage A Business

Commercial pest control services should be started early because if pests are left alone for too long without removing them, your business can be severely damaged. Whether a pest infestation poses health risks, the potential for property damage, or even just creates a nuisance, your reputation can suffer and your business can be seriously harmed.

Pests like birds can be especially annoying outside, but what is worse is that if a bird problem isn't addressed in time, their droppings can begin to accumulate and pose new issues. These droppings are acidic and can erode the structure of your business, they pose a liability issue as people can potentially slip on them and hurt themselves, and they can even grow a dangerous fungus that causes histoplasmosis.

Other pests like cockroaches and rodents can also carry problematic pathogens that can cause diseases, and they can also contaminate food and surfaces as well. Pests can transmit health issues like salmonellosis, E. coli infections, hantavirus, tularemia, and more.

Pests can also damage your business extensively by destroying the structure of your business. Rodents especially will chew through almost anything, including wires, pipes, walls, insulation, and furniture. Not only can this damage the structure or contents of your building, but by chewing through items such as wires and pipes, rodents open your business up to new problems in the form of fire and water damage. Any type of pest can bring with it a lot of issues, so it is important to find quality commercial pest control early and put in preventive measures to stop them in the first place.

Pest Prevention Tips For Businesses

In addition to finding quality commercial pest control, you can better protect your business by stopping these potential invaders from coming in the first place. This can be done by keeping your business clean, cleaning up any spills and crumbs, keeping food in airtight containers, sealing cracks and holes in the perimeter of your business with a silicone-based caulk, and reducing humidity and moisture that will attract a variety of pests.
