As a business owner, encountering pests at your facility can be detrimental to your bottom line. Rather than waiting for a pest problem to appear and being put on the defensive, implementing a routine maintenance plan can save your business time, money and your reputation.
In Upstate New York, common pests you’re likely to encounter at a commercial facility include: rodents (mice and rats), roaches, flies (drain flies and fruit flies), ticks and fleas. While certain pests may be more common for some businesses – such as drain flies in a restaurant or bed bugs at a housing facility – our treatments are essentially the same.
The Cost of Pest Infestation
The cost of pest infestation goes beyond the financial investment of reactive treatment. It can cost you your reputation, your time, and your health. Some of the additional costs and consequences may include:
- Loss of Inventory: A rodent or pest infestation can force your commercial facility to replace damaged or contaminated goods—from spoiled food items at a food facility to damaged inventory in other sectors.
- Reputation Damage: Pest issues can lead to negative reviews and reduced confidence in customers who frequent your establishment, undermining the overall customer experience and brand reputation.
- Safety Risks to Customers and Employees: Infestations create an unpleasant and unsafe environment, lowering employee morale and exposing both staff and customers to potential hazards.
- Health Effects: Pests such as rodents and roaches can contaminate food and surfaces, potentially spreading illnesses like salmonella and triggering allergies, all of which signal poor hygiene practices.
If you're already facing an active infestation it can be overwhelming and stressful for you and your employees. While the cost can vary from business to business, protecting your commercial facility through pest prevention comes down to one thing – Integrated Pest Management (IPM).
