Pest Control in Office Buildings
Office spaces in suburban areas and cities sometimes face infestations that deter clients and upset workers. Pests can cause unwanted workday interruptions or fumigation shutdowns, hampering overall work performance, causing downtime, and affecting your bottom line. With integrated pest management solutions for commercial office buildings, Western Pest Services can help you prevent and control pests with safe and effective practices.
Common Office Building Pests
In offices with kitchens and breakrooms, ants and roaches feed on leftover crumbs and spills. Ants enter buildings through foundation cracks or gaps around doors or windows. Some ant species even nest inside walls. Meanwhile, cockroaches hide in dark, damp areas like bathrooms and utility closets. Roaches can carry disease-causing bacteria, and their presence can trigger allergic reactions.
Flying pests such as fruit flies, house flies, and drain flies enter office buildings through pipes, open windows, and gaps around doors. Flies feed and breed on garbage and other rotting organic material, which means they contaminate every desk, counter, and table they touch. Flies also reproduce rapidly, and without a commercial pest control plan, infestations in office parks can quickly get out of hand.
Rats and mice easily invade offices and business parks by squeezing in through dime-sized holes and cracks in pipes and building foundations. The rodents then feed on crumbs in breakrooms and around workstations, leaving droppings and urine behind on countertops, around desks, and along baseboards. Rodents also contaminate stored goods, chew on wires, and can transmit harmful pathogens to humans.
Infestations in Commercial Office Spaces
Connected rooms in office buildings are vulnerable to infestations because the pests can easily spread from one department to another.
