Quite simply, the best way to prevent an infestation of any kind is to recognise that pest management is a process rather than a one-time event.

Below we have detailed the best ways to practice effective preventative methods so that your home and business remain pest-free.

 

Have an inspection

Rodent infestations can be particularly difficult to detect because rats and mice will generally do everything they can to avoid human contact. Even if you haven’t physically seen any pests, schedule an inspection and if you’re in the food industry, make this a regular occurrence.

These inspections will focus on areas pests are most likely to appear and will also identify any potential entry points and food and water sources which may encourage problems.

Take preventable action

Your inspections will reveal any vulnerabilities in your pest management programme so make sure you take the necessary steps before they cause big problems. By undertaking any recommended structural maintenance and eliminating potential food and water sources, you drastically reduce the chances of a pest infestation occurring in the first place.  

Analysis

If you have identified that you do in fact have a pest problem, the best way to prevent it from happening again is to work out what the source was. Are they finding their way in through floors or walls? Is food debris luring them in? Did you receive a shipment that was infested? The answer to these questions will help you to decide on future control techniques.

Use PestAdvanced

Prokill is a highly trusted provider of pest control because we take a zero-tolerance approach to pests and ensure that we’re always on top of the ever-changing field of customer compliance.

Here are just a few of the ways we can help you:

  • We will carry out a full survey of your property – this will allow us to detect if there’s an infestation and how extensive it is.
  • We’ll devise the best pest control for your needs – this means that all compliance regulations are met and maintained with as little disruption to your business as possible.
  • We also do pest risk assessments. Even if you don’t have a problem now, this is a great way of preventing future outbreaks.
  • We have an extensive range of services including fly count analysis, insect control analysis and field biological visits.
  • You have your very own dedicated account manager and a fixed date visit schedule so you don’t ever have to worry about missing an appointment.

Monitor your premises

Pests can make themselves at home in your building at any time so as we mentioned earlier, management of this should be an ongoing process. Constantly monitor your facility for pest activity – this should be done by both your employers and your pest management professional.

Also, implement some best practices which can help to prevent an outbreak. This can include ensuring that any food items are securely stored away, making sure that bins are covered and removing any debris from around the building which could be used for nesting.
