Safeguard Your Property, Tenants and Reputation against Pests
Have you noticed an increase in reported pest sightings in your buildings as the weather warms up? Pest season is in full swing as warm weather pests like ants, cockroaches, flies, mosquitoes, bees and wasps – insects broadly categorized as occasional invaders – emerge. In addition, mice and other rodents may be seeking out new sites to live and trying to make your building their next home. That’s why it’s critical to know how to prevent pests.
As a building owner or facility manager, you’re expected to provide a comfortable environment and peace of mind for tenants, but you’re not expected to provide a safe haven for pests. Unfortunately, commercial facilities, office buildings and multifamily residences also provide everything pests need to survive: food, water, shelter and optimal temperatures. Pests will look to find a way into your building so they can access these survival elements and once inside they’re not likely to leave.
These unwanted visitors are unsightly, dirty, annoying and may cause your occupants emotional stress. Your tenants can be your best or worst advocates, so a pest problem is an issue you don’t want to experience. Be proactive and prevent pests before they become a real problem. Download your free Building & Facility Protection Guide, and take steps to implement effective sanitation and facility maintenance tips to discourage pests from making an unwanted appearance on your property.
