Why Pest-Proofing is Essential for Your Business
Pests are a year-round concern for businesses, capable of causing structural damage, health risks, and damage to your reputation. Whether it’s rodents chewing through wiring, cockroaches contaminating food, or birds nesting in your infrastructure, unwanted pests disrupt operations and lead to costly repairs. At Gregory Pest Solutions, we understand that prevention is the best defense. That’s why our pest-proofing strategies are designed to stop pests before they invade.
With our comprehensive pest-proofing solutions, your business will gain proactive protection tailored to your specific needs. From inspecting vulnerabilities to implementing exclusion techniques, our trained specialists create a pest-resistant environment so you can focus on running your business worry-free.
The Top Pests Threatening Your Business
Unwanted pests in your workplace are more than just an inconvenience—they can be a hazard. Here are some of the most common pests to watch for and why they pose a threat:
Rodents
- Mice and rats are notorious for chewing through wires, equipment, and building materials, causing fires and equipment failures.
- Rodents spread diseases such as hantavirus and salmonella, endangering employee and customer health.
- Mice can squeeze through openings as small as ¼”, while rats can fit through ½” gaps, making thorough inspections essential.
Birds and Bats
- Birds like feral pigeons and sparrows bring noise, droppings, and diseases into your workplace. Even a small ¾” opening is enough for sparrows to enter.
- Bats, while beneficial to the environment, can carry harmful pathogens and easily find their way inside through gaps as small as ⅜”.
Nuisance Wildlife
- Squirrels, raccoons, and opossums are common invaders that cause structural damage by tearing through insulation, chewing wires, and finding their way into attics and crawl spaces.
Invasive Insects
- Cockroaches, stink bugs, and other overwintering pests can tarnish your reputation while spreading bacteria and diseases.
- Large cockroaches, in particular, can squeeze into your business through gaps as small as 1/16”.
