In South Florida, many different species of pests can invade commercial properties, especially office buildings. Office managers and building owners are tasked with the responsibility of maintaining an environment that is both safe and functional for employees and guests. Employees should be protected from potential infestations, as they have no control over the building’s vulnerability to pests.
The individuals that populate your office building expect a certain level of consistency when it comes to property maintenance and general cleanliness. Being exposed to a pest infestation may jeopardize the ebb and flow of your business, or worse, it may jeopardize the health of these individuals.
Picture it: a pest has been spotted in the office’s common area. What is an office member to do? First, fellow employees or office managers will casually look around to spot the pest infestation’s origin. A brisk review of the space will seem like a sufficient solution, but it only puts a band aid on the problem. These pests can circulate bacteria or diseases that are harmful to the building’s inhabitants. Thankfully, there are ways to catch an infestation before it breaks out into a serious issue.
When Florida pests, like cockroaches, mosquitoes, or ants, make an appearance, the office should be professionally inspected. Office managers can schedule routine pest control service from a licensed team of professionals to ensure an invasion does not erupt. They will also be able to keep you and your employees educated on infestation warning signs, seasonal bugs, and other tips relating to commercial pest control.
Inspections can occur as often as twice a year, depending on the size, location, and condition of the office building. Each floor, personal office space, bathroom, kitchen, and closet should be inspected to make sure the building is not susceptible to a serious infestation. Professional inspections may include checking the building for pest droppings, pest urine, gnaw marks, nests, or deceased pests. In addition to investigating indoors, pest control professionals can check the property’s lawn for outdoor pests like chinch bugs.
