Pest Activity Zones

Pests will always try to gain access into your business. Each of the following risk factors not only determines pests’ ability to gain access, but where they feed and set up harborage points as well.

Entry Points – Pests can enter your business many ways, including through doors, windows, vents, plumbing, cracks and holes in floors, and especially through supplier deliveries.

Water Sources – Pests require water daily. Water fountains, rest rooms, all types of plumbing, faulty drains and condensation from air conditioning systems are their favorite targets.

Food Sources – Even minor sanitation mishaps provide adequate food for pests. A single raisin can provide a days’s nutrition for more than 580 cockroaches, as can the glue on a cardboard box.

Harborage Points – Rodents and cockroaches seek living spaces that are small and dark. Little cracks and crevices throughout your facility can provide many breeding and living areas for pests.

Customer/Employee Areas – These areas are critical exposure points. Protecting your customers and staff from unsightly and unhealthy exposure to pests is essential to your business’s success, as well as your bottom line.

Protection Plan

PestRx’s commercial pest control program is a customized 7-step process

1          InspectionA comprehensive inspection is conducted at every facility. Extra attention is given to the five pest activity zones: entry points, water sources, food sources, harborage points, and customer/employee areas.

2          Facility AnalysisAfter the comprehensive inspection, current and potential problem areas are noted. It is important to identify the operation’s traffic patterns, including the number of people who enter and exit the building every day.

3   Pest Identification Different type of pests require different types of treatments, depending on their growth patterns and characteristics. Your technician will work with your associates on proper pest identification and how to accurately report where, when, and how many pests were seen in order to prevent infestations and control existing problems.

4          Customized ProgramThere are too many variables to provide “cookie cutter” solutions for individual facilities. Location, climate, the condition of the building and its age, all play a role in determining a treatment program. A comprehensive inspection and analysis of the facility, including interviews with key employees, helps PestRx develop an effective pest control program tailored to the customer.

5          Sanitation ConsultationThe focus of every IPM program is a daily sanitation schedule. That schedule directly impacts factors which contribute to pest build-up, inside and out.

6          Treatment StrategiesNon-chemical control options are always considered before chemical control options.

7          Ongoing Monitoring & MaintenanceThis step is absolutely essential to the success of IPM. This includes accurate reporting of pest sightings and proper documentation for regulatory agencies.

Additional Services

Because your pest problems are not always limited to the common infestations of cockroaches, ants, rats, and mice, PestRx also offers solutions for more specialized problems:

-       Bird Control

o        Birds can spread disease, damage property, and create hazardous conditions with waste & droppings. Additionally 80% of all pigeon roosts contain spores that cause infectious fungal disease in humans. PestRx can customize a bird control program focusing on habit modification, helping to makeyour facility unattractive to problematic birds.

-       Fly Control

o        Flies are a nuisance and a health issue in a business environment. These insects can spread pathogenic bacteria including those that cause Staph., E.coli and Salmonella. Female flies lay hundreds of eggs which hatch within 24 hours, so control is a challenge. PestRx can develop a strategic plan specifically for your business to help control fly infestations.

-       Stored Product Pests

o        Utilizing inspection, identification, selective control methods, and ongoing monitoring and maintenance, PestRx will customize an approach to controlling pests around stored products. These scavenging pests can be costly, accounting for up to 50% of lost inventory, food contamination and poor public relations.

-       Exclusion

o        Pests can enter your facility through doors and small cracks. For example, adult mice can pass through an opening as small as one centimeter wide. PestRx can seal the gaps to keep out pests that are attracted by odor or light, spread disease and affect your company image. Various exclusion methods could even make your facility more energy efficient.
