Are Rats and Rodents Eating Up Your Profits?

Let’s pretend for a moment that you are the client paying big bucks to a vendor to store your products in someone else’s warehouse. Most clients assume that all is Okay as long as no one is complaining…right? Well no news is not always good news. I’ll take a client that complains and gives me the opportunity to correct a problem any day. It’s the past clients that never come back for a 2nd or 3rd order that you should be more concerned with. Often they never explain why they decided not to do business with you again. Remember that your client’s have client’s that receive shipments from your warehouse. Those clients’s won’t be calling you…the warehouse vendor…when they find rat droppings in their cartons. It is a common scenario for shipments received from 3rd party warehouse vendors. Yes, spot check inspections on your vendors are very important to your business if you use a 3rd party for packaging and shipping of your products.

Rodents of all shapes and sizes might be chewing their way through your storage containers and leaving little surprises for the end user that opens the carton first. Structural and electrical damage can also be traced back to larger infestations of rats and mice that make their homes behind walls and the hidden places within your facility. Perhaps you run a business where a walk-in clientele is common place? Most casual customers may choose not to tell you they just saw a mouse run between the book cases or in the restroom. You can rest assured they will tell as many colleagues and family members as they can, all of which choose never to return to your place of business ever again. Your reputation is damaged all because someone decided not to tell you of your rodent problem. Being proactive to pest control is very important to most businesses…weather you choose to believe it or not.

Commercial pest control is an investment that is worth every penny. Industrial rodent control  is more than the simple placement of mousetraps with peanut butter as bait. When it comes to a professional commercial exterminator, you should expect a full plan from your pest control partner designed to eradicate any current problems and address the issue from a prevention standpoint. Rodents like rats and mice have the ability to reproduce to an exponential rate. Get on top of your rats and mice before they get on top of your future profits.

Your local chamber of commerce is a good place to start seeking out a facilities pest control services to effectively manage and prevent business pest disasters. Make sure you check references, ask colleagues for references and do your due diligence before making an adhoc decision on the commercial pest control service in NE Phila  that you choose. The partner you select should conduct a full inspection of the property identifying any problem areas prior to providing you with a comprehensive statement of work. If you manage a manufacturing facility it is important you seek out a professional team experienced in industrial rodent control for Mercer County  businesses. The service should also include a well laid-out plan of not only baiting and trapping but the removal of the rodent remains in a timely fashion. 

Proficient warehouse rat-mice control for Burlington County  facilities requires the outer perimeter of the building to be included in the overall plan. If you own a food service facility in the region, it is even more imperative to hire a restaurant exterminator in Philadelphia  that has a stellar reputation with the local health inspector. That doesn’t always mean you need a brand name exterminator. A quality local food service pest control team may have a better reputation and relationship with the health inspector. Ask around in your network first. Taking on a DIY Commercial insect control attitude is ill advised. It’s your business, your client’s and your reputation.
