No, warehouses do not need preventative pest control by law, but once a pest does make its way into a warehouse, you will need to remove and disinfect the area properly. This is especially important in a health and safety sense, as workers who are exposed to pest waste can become sick, and the employer is responsible for that. you can check warehousing companies that follow the law here.
What are the risks of not having pest control inspection?
Without a pest control inspection, your warehouse may face significant issues in the future. Our reviews ensure that potential entry points are sealed off, and we can help prevent problems before they become an infestation. Pests and workspaces do not mix, and if you are facing an infestation, you may have to shut down operations until the problem is dealt with by professionals.
How long does the process of pest removal go?
Generally, pest removal can be completed within one week. We will set traps, and remove any visible pests, and come back a few days later to check the traps and set them one more time. We want to ensure the pests are removed, and the only way to check is to establish and re-set traps for a week.
