If you’ve ever dealt with pests in your home, you know that aside from being a nuisance, it also can be uncomfortable and a little bit revolting. Your family probably wasn’t very happy, and children especially get freaked out by pests.
So why would your employees be any different?
If your business is dealing with pest problems, your employees won’t be happy. They want (and have the right to) a safe, positive work environment free of harassment, danger and cockroaches.
Here’s a true story: someone once told me how they worked on the second floor of an office building where occasionally, they would get a wasp in the window. That’s right, a wasp inside the building. There wasn’t even any direct access to the outside from the second floor of that building, and somehow, wasps were intermittently appearing. Sometimes, they’d fly around and someone would have to kill it. Do you think they were very happy employees on that floor? I can assure you, they were not.
So how did the wasps get in, especially when the windows didn’t even open? They had built a nest inside a wall of the building and were squeezing in through a small hole in the window frame. Fortunately, the company finally contacted a professional pest control company to deal with the wasps.
If your business is dealing with pests, you need to contact a pest control company to help deal with the invaders, and prevent further pest problems in the future.
Pest control companies deal with commercial clients all the time, and they can safely and effectively remove unwanted pests, usually without disrupting business. Additionally, many pest control companies adhere to the philosophy of Integrated Pest Management (IPM), which aims to use the least disruptive methods first to eliminate pests, gradually working up to the use of pesticides only if necessary. This allows for the safest and most environmentally-friendly methods to be used first.
A qualified pest control company will also provide traps to prevent future pest invasions, and regularly monitor the traps and the premises with routine inspections, to ensure preventative measures are working. During these inspections, they can also look for early warning signs of possible pest problems.
Don’t give your employees reason to be disgruntled: invest in commercial pest management services to keep your business bug and critter-free. Take it from someone who knows: your employees will thank you for it.
