Pest Control In Industrial Spaces Is Important
Pest control at your warehouse is important for the following reasons:
- The health, safety, and morale of the employees
- The health and safety of the clients
- The reputation of the warehouse for cleanliness
If your employees do not feel safe, they will not be excited about their jobs or supportive of the company. When employees become ill due to poor working conditions, it affects your ability to keep deadlines and maintain a strong workforce. When a warehouse cannot keep goods moving through it consistently, it harms the company.
Problems Pests Can Cause In Warehouses and Industrial Spaces
Let’s look at the effects of a common pest in the warehouse: the cockroach. Floor drains can become favorite hideaways for these dirty pests. As a result of living and feeding on filth, they are carriers of diseases such as:
- E. coli infections
- Salmonellosis
- Hepatitis
- Norovirus
- Parasitic worms
The spread of thirty-three kinds of bacteria, seven types of human pathogens, and six different classes of parasitic worms are all linked to cockroaches. Failure to eliminate cockroaches in the warehouse can lead to employee illness.
Mice are often in warehouses. Mice and rats are linked to over 35 diseases like hantavirus and salmonellosis. Even if your employees do not touch a mouse, they can contract diseases from the fecal matter on surfaces. When they scamper across floors, over shipping containers and pallets, mice leave fecal and urine matter contaminating the surface. As employees and customers come in contact with fecal matter, they are exposed to potentially serious health risks.
