When people think of commercial pest control, they think of restaurants and department stores first. And yeah, of course it is necessary for places that serve food and places that people spend time shopping — but that is just the tip of the iceberg that is known as the commercial industry.
Sniff ‘n’ Stop products are specially designed to be used in both commercial and residential applications — after all, both have the same goal — to drive the pests away and prevent them from coming back.
In today’s blog post we are going to briefly discuss a few of the reasons that commercial pest control products, and their application, are so important to commercial ventures.
Reputation
Do you remember the last time that you heard about a restaurant getting shut down temporarily for a pest issue? Even if you don’t, it is pretty easy to imagine that there was not a line forming at the door as they prepared to open again.
Pests are gross. Whether it is a restaurant, department store, telecommunication warehouse, or a mill, the presence of pests will have a negative impact on the commercial venture’s reputation and success.
Reputation is much more than just an issue for potential customers. It is also an issue when it comes to recruitment and the hiring process — because nobody wants to eat, shop, work, or even spend time in a building with a pest infestation.
Inspection Failure
As we suggested in our above point, a restaurant with a pest infestation can be closed down because bugs, rodents, or any other pest have been found in an area that the government requires to be clean. While restaurants are the most commonly affected commercial business that is affected by routine inspections, most commercial buildings are actually required to be inspected.
Whether the inspection is a health inspection, structural inspection, or employee welfare inspection, an inspector will take note of a pest infestation — likely leading to a penalization.
Quality Control — Or Lack Thereof
If you own a restaurant and there is a presence of pests, you will likely not be serving as high-quality of a product than if you were to have a clean kitchen. If you are a clothing retailer, you will likely not be selling high-quality clothing — as they could be eaten or dirty. If you are a telecommunications company that stores wires in your facility, they could be degraded and negatively impacted because of the presence of rodents.
Our point is, if there are pests present in your commercial building, it is more than likely that your product or service is not of the highest quality possible.
