Do I Need Annual Pest Protection for My Business?

YESpestpros • Apr 11, 2019

When you started your business, you probably didn’t give much thought to pest control. It’s really one of those “out of sight, out of mind” things. Besides, you have a thousand other things to worry about – customers, contracts, employees, vendors, the list goes on. But we’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again. When it comes to pest control, the old adage “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” couldn’t be more true. Let me explain.

There have been plenty of times I’ve mentioned the benefits of annual pest protection to business owners, only to be brushed off. And trust me, I get it. It’s not something most people want to spend money on, and some people think I’m just a salesperson trying to push a product. But that’s not it at all. The reason why our annual pest protection program even exists is to solve your current problem and prevent you from having the exact same issue down the road. Here are a few of the benefits of enrolling your business is our annual pest protection plan.

Save Money

Of course, if one of our customers truly only wants a one-time service, we will provide them with that service without a problem. However, what we see more often than you’d expect is that as soon as their initial problem is solved, the same customer is having problems with other pests (or even the same pest), and they still only want a one-time service. And guess what? Two or three one-time services later, they’ve paid more for their one-time treatment than they would have for a full year of protection.

Fewer Pesticides

When you spend your resources protecting against pests instead of getting rid of an infestation, you’ll reduce the amount of pesticides used in and around your business. Once the initial inspection and treatment is completed, our technicians are able to keep on top of anything suspicious. This means that if they see signs of, say, cockroach activity, they will be able to stop it in its tracks without the use of heavy pesticides before it becomes a real issue.

Protect Your Reputation

One of the most unnerving things for any business owner, especially those in the food service or hospitality industries, is a pest sighting. With social media, news travels fast. Just one pest sighting in a restaurant or hotel can be enough to tank the next few weeks of business and ruin your reputation. Who cares if you serve the best ribeye in town if you have bugs in your restaurant?

Operate Your Business Pest-Free

With an annual pest protection plan for your business, you won’t have to give pest control a second thought. Your pest control technician, who has the advantage of coming back to your business on a scheduled basis, will work primarily on the exterior to keep pests out in the first place. After the initial treatment when any pests on the interior are taken care of, your technician will rarely need to treat the interior. Instead, most of their work will be done on the exterior, laying down a barrier each time they are there. As the business owner, this is one less thing for you to worry about.

Insects that feed on human blood can cause incredible discomfort. In many cases, we don't even know we've been bitten until after they have had their meal. Some inject an anticoagulant into the bloodstream to suck up their meal faster, while others clamp on and indulge in our life-preserving liquid. It helps to know which of these creatures to be watchful of before they attack. That way, we can take active steps to avoid the misery before they get a chance to start.

We often think of fleas as a nuisance for your cat or dog. They have an annoying way of getting into their fur, and it can be a real problem to get them out. But it is their uncanny ability to get into your home and cause a significant infestation that is a source of concern for many, especially if their presence is not properly eliminated. This has become a significant problem for many people. No doubt, the best way to ensure you don’t get a flea infestation in your home is to make sure they never get inside in the first place.

Waking up with tiny little bite marks all over your body is never a good thing. As you look at your irritated skin with the tell-tale red spots that itch persistently, you're sure that they result from bed bugs. No one wants their bed infested with these creatures, so you want to get rid of them as soon as possible. But before you decide to launch an all-out attack on these irritants, you need to be sure of what you're dealing with. Unfortunately, plenty of other pests may invade your mattress, and using the wrong treatment to eliminate the problem could delay getting you relief or even worsen the situation. Before you decide on a method of extermination, you need to make sure of what you're actually dealing with. Still, because these bugs are so tiny, you might wonder if they can be seen with the naked eye. The answer is - sometimes. Bed bugs are usually visible in the later stages of development, but there's a good chance that if you can identify bed bugs in their adult stage, many younger ones are lying around, just waiting to take a bite out of you.

As their name implies, carpet beetles infest carpets and other fibers and are especially active during springtime.

They will seek the warm cozy interior of your home after temperatures drop, and once inside, they become a threat to your property and food and can cause rashes with their tiny hairs. Carpet beetles feature: “Mottled” coloring of black, brown, white, or yellow. Oval-shaped bodies. Adult length between 1/16 - 1/8 inches. The first concern with any infestation is safety.
