When dealing with pests it is important to think in the long-term. Whether your business is located along the coast or in the prairies, a personalized pest control program is recommended for long-term prevention and quick remediation. No matter what type of business you operate there are some key pest control plans that you need to have in place to pest proof your business.
One of the most important plans you can have in your pest control program is a pest exclusion plan. If you don’t already have one already set-up, that’s okay, with these tips you’ll have yours up and running in no-time. A few of the other documents your pest control program could include are; a bed bug treatment plan, a rodent control plan, a cockroach control plan, a sanitation control plan, and a facility map locating your pest control devices.
However, the best approach to pest proof your business is to have a comprehensive exclusion plan as part of your pest control program. Implementing these simple steps, along with working alongside a qualified pest control company, your pest control program will go along way in attaining that pest-free environment for your employees, your visitors, and yourself.

Understanding pest behaviour is extremely important when you begin to pest proof your commercial space for pest prevention. The unfortunate news is that pests of all sizes are trying to gain access to your space daily. These naturally curious creatures are perfect for exploiting all the entry points that facility managers can easily overlook. Taking the time to regularly review your commercial space along the interior and exterior will help to pest proof your facility and keep it pest free.
