Professional Pest Control Services for Storage Areas

Services for Your Storage Areas

As a storage area manager, you aim to provide customers with safe and well-maintained self-storage units throughout the year. This involves protecting customer belongings from extreme weather, dirt, and destructive pests. Unfortunately, storage facilities tend to attract unwanted pests like rodents and cockroaches’ due to the readily available shelter, food, and water sources.

Pest infestations can be especially challenging in storage areas. These facilities have plenty of hiding spots for pests to build their nests and thrive. Besides being unsightly and unsanitary, some pests like rodents can also gnaw on products, equipment, and electrical wiring. Given the long list of maintenance tasks managers need to perform regularly, it’s nearly impossible to monitor every inch of your storage area without the help of a professional.

Professional pest control experts are knowledgeable in all the habits of different pests. They know where they are likely to hide and how to treat them effectively. Our professionals work closely with your staff to focus on spotting early signs of a pest infestation, shipment inspections, and implementing preventative techniques.

Benefits of Commercial Pest Control Services for Storage Areas

The frequent movement of goods in and out of your storage area makes it a hotbed for all kinds of pesky pests. Commercial pest control services are an often overlooked but crucial part of running storage area operations without disruptions. The benefits of engaging professional pest controllers include but are not limited to:

Reduced cost of running your business

Working with a professional pest expert can help significantly reduce the cost of running your business by reducing damages to inventory, equipment, and products.

Maintaining a good reputation

The reputation of your storage area is everything. Should your client see one rat in your business and post about it on social media, it will be detrimental to your business. Commercial pest control services can help you maintain a good reputation by monitoring and managing potential pest threats.

Protects health

The health of your staff, customers, and yourself are the priority of commercial pest controllers. Rats, mice, and cockroaches carry and transmit harmful diseases to people through indirect contact by invading stored products. Pest experts will dramatically reduce pest threats and the chances that anyone in your storage area will contract pest-borne diseases.

Meeting compliance regulations

No matter what type of storage area you operate, you must meet the minimum sanitary conditions, including a facility free from pests. When health inspectors visit your storage area, they look for signs of pest presence and indicate in their health report if there is evidence of birds, roaches, rodents, or other pests.

Common Pest Problems in Storage Areas

Whether you operate a self-storage area for food products or other consumer goods, the threat of pest invasions consistently looms overhead. Some of these invaders can be lured by the available food and shelter, while others sneak in via shipments. The most common pest problems in storage areas include but are not limited to:

Weevils

Weevils inevitably get mixed in grains, flour, rice, beans, cereals, nuts, corn, and other foods. These little critters can cause extensive damage to stored foods by boring holes in grains. If the infestation is widespread, weevils can quickly turn your clients’ grains into flour and ruin the quality and quantity of the products. Our pest experts provide an effective solution to weevil threats in stored commodities without the use of harmful chemicals.

Rodents

Rodent infestations are a serious threat in self-storage facilities. Rats and mice can cause severe damage to stored products while spreading deadly diseases. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) notes that rodents directly transmit up to 35 fatal diseases through bites or contact with their droppings, urine, or saliva.

As such, the earliest signs of a rodent problem must be addressed and mitigated immediately and effectively. We offer long-term solutions to rodent threats in storage areas. To protect your customers’ storage unit and give you the much-deserved peace of mind, we regularly inspect your facility and advise customers on the best storage containers to keep pests away.

Cockroaches

Cockroaches are just gross and nasty! These annoying invaders can trigger serious health risks such as dysentery, cholera, diarrhea, and asthma. Their legs can contaminate stored goods with multiple parasites, pathogens, and bacteria. It can be pretty challenging for storage unit managers to control these resilient pests on their own.

Fortunately, our experts have extensive knowledge of the different types of cockroaches that can invade a storage area. Upon a thorough inspection of your entire storage area, the experts will customize an effective solution that will eliminate and keep cockroaches away from your facility for good.
