Dealing With Critters And Pests
By Generalsteel
If you’re trying to run a business, you know that you have a lot to think about. You need to worry about marketing, advertising, and sales. You need to think about how to find employees, create rules and payroll policies. And you need to think about the future and the way that you are planning for growth and expansion. However, with all of these big questions, some of the smallest details can be the ones that hurt you the most – for example, pests in your warehouses can lead to problems that you may not have thought of.

The problem with insects and other critters is that they are everywhere that you might be, so it’s only a matter of time before they start to head into your business space. They’re hard to see, hard to spot and even more difficult to control when you’re not careful. Thankfully, there are ways to prevent problems with these pests and keep your inventory from becoming the victim.

Here are some signs that you might have pests:

• Inventory damage after shipments have arrived and
been inspected.

• Droppings on the floor and in corners

• Spilled stock without any cause

• Sightings

• Signs of nests, hives, eggs, etc.

The first thing that you will want to do is consider hiring a professional exterminator to diagnose your problem. To most of us, bugs look like bugs, but you need a more definitive answer than that when you’re talking about the sanitation of your business and its products. Find a local professional that can come out and determine the pests that you have as well as construct a plan to get rid of them. This might be costly at first, but regular maintenance of pests is far easier than dealing with customers that find unwanted ‘extras’ in their orders.

Another thought is to consider steel buildings or metal buildings for your warehouse needs. Metal buildings aren’t subject to problems like and can also keep out pests more efficiently than wood-framed buildings. Likewise, steel buildings are nearly as hospitable for bugs that like to burrow in natural materials. If you are looking to build a warehouse anyways, these kinds of buildings might be a good fit when you’re already having insect issues.

Other ideas:

• Keep your stock off of the ground by using pallets
or other lifts. This will make it more difficult for pests to
access your stock.
• Limit food consumption at your workplace.
Insects need food to survive, so if any food or drink is spilled, it
can become a gathering place for anything from ants to roaches and
worse.
• Install shelving that’s off the floor. In
addition to pallets, you can install shelving that allows products to
be off the floor and out of the way of direct access to bugs.

In the end, if bugs and critters want to get into your things, you will need to either accept this fact and use regular maintenance or have a foolproof way of keeping them out. This might include plastic containers, a separate metal storage area, etc.
