Pest proofing

The first line of defense against pest infestation for your business building.

What is pest proofing?

Pest infestation in buildings has always been a constant problem for any business. Therefore, ongoing maintenance and awareness is essential to keep pests at bay. Pest infestations must be dealt with quickly and effectively before the pesky pests have a chance to enter, spread, and cause harm to your business.

Pest proofing is Rentokil's integrated pest control service that prevents pest infestations by sealing all entry points pests could use to enter your premises. This holistic approach proactively controls pest risks, forming a frontline shield against pest infestations including rats and cockroaches.

What is integrated pest management?

Many business owners still believe that pest control is limited to the use of traps or pesticides. However, with this approach, costs will continue to accumulate without addressing the root cause of the problem.

For the best results and significant benefits for business owners, integrated pest control goes beyond just getting rid of visible and emerging pests.

A holistic pest control consists of 4 fundamental factors, including:

Exclusion

Preventing pests from entering the building by closing off access and protecting the building.

Restriction

Preventing pests from spreading, breeding, feeding and nesting if they have entered the site.

Destruction

Eliminating pests in an innovative and humane way.

Monitoring

Ensuring pest control measures are successful and the building remains effectively protected.

Some areas in buildings serve as potential entry points for pests

Holes, gaps and cracks in the building

Drainage or air flow channels

Cable lines from outside areas or exterior of the building

Gaps in expansion joints in floors

Levels of pest proofing services

The pest proofing service is carried out in 4 levels, depending on the condition of the pest entry points that need to be sealed at your location.

Pest proofing – Level 1

The hole is no larger than A4 size and is located in a place that can be reached easily.

Pest proofing – Level 2

A small hole no bigger than A4 but located above the ceiling that can be stepped on and easily reached.

Pest proofing – Level 3

Small or large holes but located under or above the ceiling that can be stepped on and easily reached.

Pest proofing – Level 4

There is no catwalk or footing, so one must be created to reach and close the hole.

Why does my business need pest proofing services?

By ensuring protection and proofing at your business premises, you will not only protect the building structure from pest damage, but also limit the space for pests to enter the property for a longer period of time.

Some of the benefits and added value that your business can get from pest proofing include:

  • Reducing the risk of recurring pest infestation in the building
  • Reducing the risk of additional costs due to reactive measures against pests that have managed to get in
  • Preventing damage to the building structure, assets and materials in the building due to the entry of pests into the property
  • Keeping the business premises clean from dirt and traces left by pests such as feces, urine and debris used as nests
  • Preventing losses due to the presence of pests that contaminate raw materials and finished products
