Retail Commercial Pest Control

Owners of retail stores know how important it is to keep the store clean and tidy as when someone enters the store the first thing they will see is the appearance of the shop.

A dirty store whether it be clothes, or a grocery store may force customers to shop elsewhere.

Shoppers want to walk into a clean store that is well organised and seeing a store that shows clear signs of neglect or even worse for the shopper to see an active pest infestation.

Ask yourself if you were in this customers situation, what would you do?

The store has lost a potential sale and more than likely it won’t be long before your name is tarnished, with the thanks to social media and the speed of negative feedback flourishes. Retail stores who do not have a pest control management plan in place risk failing OH&S and government regulations.

Retail stores are mostly at risk of pest infestations of cockroaches, rats, mice, ants, storage pests like moths & beetles.

Below are some steps that every retail store should keep in mind:

Entrance Points

Check that there are no open holes on the exterior of the building that lead into your store. Entrance points could be anything from holes in windscreens, foundation issues, a small hole in the wall, a door that does not seal correctly or that has a gap at the bottom of the door.

Pest Invitations

A pest invitation are things like standing/still water, rubbish, discarded pallets, packaging waste that can be an invitation for cockroaches, ants, rats & mice.

Ensure all discarded goods are done so correctly, by minimising external discarded waste you are minimising the invitation for pests to come to your property.

Cleaning

One of the most important aspects for any effective pest control program. You should a regular full cleaning program which includes wiping down shelves, thorough cleaning of storage areas, behind desks, equipment, fridges etc

If your staff bring food to work, ensure that all food items are discarded correctly, and spillages are wiped up immediately.  Do not allow your staff to leave food crumbs in their desks and that no fruit or food is left out overnight.

Pest infestations can be reduced simply by proper cleaning!

Education

Your staff should understand the importance of pest control in your retail store, and they should all be aware of what they can do to prevent pests and what they need to do if a pest issue is found.

Many companies use a document called a pest sighting registrar where staff can make a note of what pest was seen, where and when it was seen. Managers and owners should take heed to any employee that reports a pest issue.

The longer a pest issue is left untreated the longer time pests continue to breed and spread out.

Distribution Points

PNP Pest Control highly recommends creating a designated distribution point for your stock receivables. This area is where all deliveries should be taken to, boxes unpacked and good examined before shelving.

Many shop owners are surprised to learn that a large majority of pest infestations are introduced through stock deliveries. For Example, If your supplier has an active pest issue such as German cockroaches, spiders, rats or even silverfish they can be transferred direct to your store through your stock delivery.

This method of creating a distribution points assists in minimising any potential pest infestation threat to one area

Clutter

We understand that in a retail store that does not have a lot of storage room that it can be hard to avoid cluttering up an area with stock, however remember that cluttered areas can invite pests.

Cleaning cluttered areas become more difficult and the risk that you may experience some king of pest issues increases

DIY Pest Control for Retail Commercial Properties

PNP Pest Control does not recommend DIY pest control treatments. Spraying a can of fly spay around your shop at the end of the day is not considered an effective pest control program and can cause pest infestations to increase.

All businesses should only use licensed professional pest control technicians that are experienced in treating retail stores.

No matter what business field you are in, your company’s success depends on a reputation for cleanliness.

Pest control problems can be extremely costly, plus they can damage your image and even cause you to close for repairs.

The Importance of commercial pest control in Sydney

A pest infestation can occur in any location in Sydney and any matter of property types such as commercial or industrial. A pest infestation can become a major concern in the food, education, hospitality, retail, corporate or warehousing industries as research has shown that active pest infestations see a decline in customers, revenue, reputation and stock damage.

Commercial pest control is essential to avoid any unnecessary business losses!

Every business needs to maintain a clean and healthy business environment for their staff and customers.

In a restaurant, cafe or food processing plant it would be difficult and unsafe to conduct any food preparations with cockroaches or rats in the premises just as in a childcare center it would be unhealthy and dangerous to have children around an active rat or spider infestation.

Commercial Pest Control Sydney – If you notice any signs of pest issues in your property it is advisable to act quickly as the cost and process of a regular program is cheaper and more effective than calling in the pest controller once the problem has gotten out of hand.

Commercial Pest Control Prevention is always better than a cure!

It is a well-known fact that transmit diseases, cause health issues such as skin irritations, asthma, bites etc. As previously mentioned pest infestations can cause consumer loss, complaints, financial losses and damage to buildings and equipment.

Ongoing pest control programs can prevent pests becoming a problem for your staff and clients.

It is easier and cost effective to have preventative pest control measures in place to prevent infestations rather than just treating a pest issue when it occurs.

Commercial pest control prevention tips
