The pest control taboo
As a business and facilities or property manager you won’t want to highlight the need for pest control to your customers or the public. If you have suffered a pest infestation – rodent, insect or bird – you definitely don’t want it to damage your business’s brand or reputation. So how can you prevent the problem?
At NBC Environment we believe effective pest management is best achieved through establishing preventative measures as part of an integrated pest management programme. Often a sensitive subject, hygiene and sanitisation are central to effective pest management as poor housekeeping and hygiene practices attract unwanted pests. In addition, pest awareness training can be provided to staff/cleaning contractors to help identify early signs of an infestation and ensure solid housekeeping practices. We work closely with our customers to ensure they regularly check for signs of pest activity and record or notify us.
Maintenance of your premises will also protect your business from nature’s pests. Ensuring the fabric of your premises is in good repair and potential entry points for pests are proofed correctly will prevent problems. Pest and birds are opportunists so even the smallest opportunity for ingress will be seized upon for shelter, nesting or feeding.
