The Many Pests That Can Invade Your Business

Whether you are looking for restaurant pest control or general commercial pest control in West Chester, there are a number of pests you should be aware of, including:

Cockroaches – These notoriously unsanitary insects are a major health hazard as well as a liability for your reputation. 
Rodents – Whether it's mice or rats in your business, they threaten the health of your employees and customers, the quality of your products, the integrity of your building, and, of course, your reviews. 
Mosquitoes – These obnoxious insects can drive customers away, and they also spread dangerous diseases making them a double threat. 
Ants – Likewise, ants will contaminate food and spread disease, but they are also just plain obnoxious and can be a major complaint of customers when present in commercial spaces. 
Termites – Your customers may not see termites but they can do a lot of damage to commercial spaces. 

At Viking Pest Control, we offer general services along with specialty services for rats, mice, termites, cockroaches, ants and more.  Our commercial services also include a SMART Pest Control option. Call or reach out to us online today for more information or to schedule your free quote. 

A Pest Infestation Can Quickly Ruin Your Business's Reputation 

Pest infestations are a major concern for local businesses. Word of mouth is a mainstay of businesses, and news of an infestation spreads quickly. Whether you are running a bar or restaurant, an apartment complex, a school, office, industrial building, or a warehouse, it's important to stay on top of a pest control plan.

Inspection – In this initial step, our experts will discuss your pest concerns, inspect your facility, and develop a targeted plan of action.

Follow-Up – When we work with your business we will follow up on any current problem until it is resolved and modify plans as needed to get the results you want.

Pest Prevention Procedures You Can Implement In Your Business

Preventing pests in your business is not too unlike preventing pests in your home but on a larger scale. You'll still want to limit access to the resources pests are after: food, water, and shelter. You'll also want to consider training your staff to recognize signs of a pest infestation and the appropriate action steps to take if they find one. 

Some of the best things you can do include:

• Store food properly in airtight containers.
• Seal both indoor and outdoor garbage containers and empty them on a regular basis.
• Keep floors and countertops clean and free of crumbs and spills. 
• Minimize excess moisture by fixing leaks, addressing condensation, and using dehumidifiers where needed. 
• Eliminate paths that pests can use to enter your business by sealing cracks and gaps, maintaining screens, and keeping doors and windows closed.
• Make sure staff are aware of the signs of pest infestations and how to report them.
