Pest Problems in Commercial Buildings

The last thing you want in your business is a pest problem. These unwanted guests can put others’ health at risk, destroy property, and make a bad impression on your clientele. Here are some of the most common pest problems you should be watching out for:

Rodents

These infamous pests of plague are an unwelcome guest in any home or business. While it is no longer a plague being spread by rats, rodents remain one of most concerning pests because they  transmit a variety of dangerous diseases to humans either through direct contact or through feces they leave behind. They are also known to be destructive creatures and can gnaw through important wires and fabrics.

Roaches

Roaches are most common in areas with food and moist atmosphere. They carry germs and antigens that can lead to disease and asthma flare ups, along with leaving an offensive musty smell behind for other fellow roaches to follow.

Flies 

Everyone at some point has a fly in their house whose buzzing drives them crazy, but flies are more than just an annoyance. They are fast flying pests that are attracted to food and contaminate any of it in which they come in contact. 

Ants

As the most unsuspecting pests to make our list, an ant problem in a commercial building is bad news. To start, ants pose a great risk for food contamination because they will come in the hundreds if there is an easily accessible food source. They can also hollow out wood for nesting and bring great damage to the wood in your floors and walls.

Bed Bugs

Bed bugs are a common threat to businesses like hotels and clothing resellers. They are tiny, expert hiders and are hard to detect until it is too late. They are parasitic pests that feed on human and animal blood and travel easily in suitcases and on clothes. 

Termites

Termites are some of the most well known destructive pests amongst property owners. They are swarming pests that feed on plant matter like wood, paper, and leaf litter. They can damage the integrity of your property’s foundation and even wear down shrubbery and trees in your landscape.
