There’s nothing more frustrating than dealing with a persistent pest problem in your business. Whether you’re plagued by insects or rodents, you want the problem dealt with. With an exterminator, you can eliminate one generation of pests, but if the workplace environment is not clean and tidy, those pests will return. Here’s how an unexpected source of help can be found at your commercial cleaning company.
What Types of Businesses Have the Worst Pest Problems
While any type of business can have issues with pests, problem animals are drawn to settings that have one of two things: food they can eat and warmth where they can shelter. With food in mind, it makes sense that restaurants, grocery stores, schools and hospitals face pest problems, as do hospitality businesses. That being said, remember that insects can eat and nest in a surprising number of materials, including cardboard – so every business owner needs to be vigilant.
Commercial cleaning companies in Belmont, MA help these businesses prevent pest infestations in a number of ways. Obviously the top issue is the removal of waste from the place of business. Emptying trash cans and replacing bin liners is one way to ensure there’s nothing on site for pest animals to want to eat. Additionally, by removing clutter from the site, the commercial cleaning company removes the environment where pest animals can hide, build nests, and breed lots of babies.
Cleaning needs to be done on a regular basis, because pest animals are hungry every single day. The search for food never, ever stops. Depending on the nature and volume of your business, you’ll want to have the commercial cleaning crew come in nightly, twice a week, or weekly. What frequency of cleaning is best for a small business varies on the nature of the business as well. A seafood restaurant, for example, will need intense cleaning more often than an insurance agency.
