Some may ask if pest control is important for offices. The answer is a big YES. An office is a place where you spend 8-9 hours of your day so, it is important to keep your workplace clean and hygienic. The problem with pests is that there are no visible signs of infestation, but suddenly, you are hit with a pest problem that gets quickly out of control. You cannot assume that pests don’t live in your building just because your office is cleaned every day. A pest inspection is the only way to know whether there is a possibility of pest infestation in your workplace.
Here are some reasons why you should pay attention to pest control in your workplace –
- Some pests are really dangerous. They can damage your paperwork and nibble away at your boxes. Some pests like termites can do real damage to your furniture and even the structure of your building.
- Pest infestation makes the environment quite uncomfortable to work in. It also causes a lot of distractions.
- If a rodent gets electrified and dies, then it creates a nasty smell which can disrupt your work environment.
- Some common pests can cause allergic reactions after they bite and the bite of mosquitoes can cause serious diseases like malaria and dengue which can also be fatal.
- There is a risk of cross-infection and cross-contamination for offices located along a cluster stretch or in a commercial building as the pests can enter from your neighbouring tenants.
