Your Pest Control Specialist must know where to look for pest activity. |
 |
 |
 |
| Insects can
enter your business through cracks and crevices.
Rodents can gain entry through small holes the
size of a dime. They can also be transported
through supply deliveries. |
|
| The tiniest
crumb can support pest infestations. One grape
can feed up to 600 cockroaches; even the glue
from delivery boxes can provide food for pests. |
|
|
 |
 |
 |
| Pests thrive
in water, and need water daily, so they will
forage until they find it. Leaks in plumbing
and roofs will support pest infestations and
hamper control efforts. |
|
| Cracks and crevices
can provide a home and breeding space for pests
and rodents. Rodents sometimes will nest in voids
on the interior and burrows on the exterior. |
|
| Health risks
and pest sightings can destroy your business.
Protection is essential to the health of your
employees and customers. |

 |
 |
Known as America's
most prolific pest. Some ants can carry bacteria
and contaminate food sources; while others can
damage wood or inflict painful bites. Ants have
also been known to nest and cause damage in computers. |
 |

 |
 |
Roaches' ability
to survive surpasses all other creatures on earth.
Business owners fear the cockroach more than
any other pest. A customer that sees a roach
in your business is apt to tell ten people about
it. |
|
|
 |
 |
Spiders are
carnivorous pests (feed on other bugs). Large
numbers of spiders are often a sign of a more
extensive pest problem. Scorpions can inflict
a painful sting that can cause serious illness
requiring immediate medical attention. These
pests can be a liability risk should a customer
or employee come in contact with them in your
business. |
|

 |
 |
Rodents are
a business owner's worst nightmare, and are capable
of causing electrical fires due to their constant
gnawing. They can spread diseases such as Salmonellosis,
Rickettsia, Smallpox, Lymphocytic choriomenigitis,
and others. Rodents can contaminate 100 times
the amount of food they eat. Each year, rodents
cost U.S. business millions of dollars. |

Flies can threaten
not only your business, but the health of your
employees and customers. Flies breed quickly
and can lay hundreds of eggs every few days.
Their eggs can hatch in as little as 12-24 hours.
Maggots begin feeding immediately. Flies often
come from rotting and disease laden garbage and
are known for contaminating food in exposed areas.
They spread disease through pathogenic bacteria
that can cause Staph, E.coli, Salmonella and
Shingles. Also, flies can cause customers to
form an unsanitary image of your business, thus
undermining your establishment. *
Flies fall under Special Pest category and require
an additional charge. |

Indian Meal
Moths and Saw Toothed Grain Beetles cause billions
in damage each year to America's food stockpiles.
The small business's stock room is not immune.
These pests can enter from the outside but more
often than not, come in with new purchases of
dry goods, such as cereals and grains. * Stored
Product pests fall under Special Pest category
and require an additional charge. |
