Professional Pest Control Services for Cold Storages

Do You Have Cold Storage?

Owners and managers of cold storages must adhere to a long list of maintenance protocols. They must regularly perform tasks such as monitoring temperatures, minimizing heat loss, and monitoring equipment conditions to ensure that the facility is working properly. Pest control and exclusion is an integral part of sanitation for cold storage facilities, and for good reasons. These facilities are particularly susceptible to pest invasions such as insects, roaches, rats, and mice. If left to run amok, these pests can severely damage stored goods. Cold storage managers are always dealing with packed schedule. Hence, they find it particularly challenging to keep up with pest management requirements. To meet this unique challenge, our experts are thoroughly trained to inspect your property and identify its unique needs. We make it our responsibility to prevent the potential consequences of a pest infestation in your cold storage facility, such as:

Losing your customers’ trust
Frequent customer complains
Termination of ongoing contracts resulting in loss of revenue
Fines, loss of licenses, or closure of business due to non-compliance with regulatory laws.

Our Cold Storages Pest Management Solutions

We offer one-time or recurring pest control services to keep business facilities pest-free. After thoroughly inspecting your establishment, we will work closely with you to determine the best and most cost-effective solution that suits your unique pest needs.

As the name suggests, one-time pest control services involve a single treatment to get rid of the creepy invaders. These services are extremely thorough. They can be very effective when solving certain types of pest problems. We make a complete application of the inside of your cold storage facility. We also treat the outside to repel nuisance pests and seal gaps, crevices, and openings that pests can use to gain access into the facility.

Recurring pest control services are performed after a specific period, for instance, after every 90 days (quarterly pest control). The initial treatment will be as thorough as the one-time service. However, after successfully applying the initial service, the recurring treatments will only be done on the exterior. Should a client have concerns or specific challenges that need additional attention, we will service the interior as required.

Recurring pest control services are highly effective because insects must travel from their natural habitat outdoors, through the foundation walls, and into the cold storage. The insects will come into contact with our highly effective repellents, providing excellent control results.

What Draws Pests to Cold Storages

It’s a popular belief that pests can only be found in the warmer places within a cold storage facility, such as the breakroom. However, every corner of the cold storage facility is equally vulnerable to pest infestations. While the cool temperatures may deter some pests, you’ll be surprised to know that the chilled environment is perfect for some pests to thrive.

Perhaps you’re wondering what draws pests into your cold storage facility. Firstly, cold storage is packed with equipment and pipes, which provide abundant hiding spots for pests. Secondly, the heat released during the cooling process and the stored foods make the facility a prime target for pests.

Rooftops

Rooftops experience little to no traffic, making them the perfect hiding spot for pests. These annoying creatures can seek shelter in the HVAC system and under pipes. An excellent example of pests that thrive on the rooftop is birds. These pests are more than just nuisance invaders. Their droppings can carry and spread over 60 diseases, such as the deadly histoplasmosis. Pests in cold storages pose severe health risks for food, employees, and clients.

The Dumpster

The dumpster near your cold storage facility will attract all types of pests, including rats, mice, cockroaches, and ants. Dumpsters are the ideal location for pests because they offer a consistent supply of food and water. When pests get so close to your business, it is only a matter of time before they discover better resting and foraging areas in your facility.

Entry Points

Pests and wild animals can enter your cold storage through open doors and windows. Others are quite sneaky and can squeeze their way through unimaginably small cracks and crevices in the wall into your facility. A good example is rodents which can squeeze through a crack or opening as small as one-fourth of an inch (about the width of a pencil)!
