No one likes to have pests in the home and the thought of waking up to a rat scurrying over your bed is the stuff of nightmares. Nevertheless, the home isn’t the only place where rats, mice, flies, wasps, ants, and other pests can cause discomfort and mayhem.
Many commercial buildings also struggle to limit the amount of vermin trespassing on their property and, if the problem isn’t dealt with promptly, these pests can cause havoc throughout the workplace. While preventative pest control is the best way to go, sometimes it’s too late and professional pest control is the only way forward.
Let’s take a look at some of the most problematic pests and why they cause business and commercial building owners so much trouble.
Top 3 Commercial Pests
- Birds singing from the treetops is a lovely sound to work to, but when they start invading your workplace, they can cause serious problems. Some of the most troublesome species are those which don’t really belong in North America, particularly the Starling. Starlings have messy nesting habits, create health concerns with their droppings and can act aggressively towards humans.
- Mice can be cute and cuddly when kept as pets, but when they’re munching their way through the interior of your walls or damaging products they can become quite the hassle. Mice also reproduce at alarming rates and one mouse could quickly become an entire colony.
- Rats are intelligent and surprisingly affectionate pets, but few people enjoy sharing their office space with them. Not only are they destructive, but they also carry numerous diseases so, even if they’re living outside the commercial building, they still pose a serious problem.
