Warehouse Pest Control

Factories and warehouses face constant threats from rodents, insects, and birds. Without professional warehouse pest control, these infestations can damage stock, disrupt operations, and harm staff wellbeing. At Shire Pest Solutions, we deliver tailored protection that keeps production and storage facilities secure from common pests while safeguarding your reputation.

The Common Pest Challenges in Factories and Warehouses

There are three main categories of pests that commonly affect factories and warehouses: rodents, insects, and birds. Each poses unique challenges that require expert warehouse pest control to manage effectively.

1. Rodents

Rodents, particularly rats and mice, are a constant concern in production and storage facilities. Their ability to gnaw through materials such as food packaging, furniture, wires, and insulation can result in structural damage, contamination of goods, and serious health risks. Diseases spread by rodents can compromise not only the goods being stored but also the safety of employees and customers.

2. Insects

Insects, such as beetles, moths, and weevils, are often difficult to detect but can wreak havoc on stored goods. These pests infest food products, textiles, and even wooden furniture, leading to spoilage and contamination. Some of the common insect pests include:

• Stored Product Pests: Grain weevils, flour beetles, biscuit beetles, and warehouse moths.
• Crawling and Flying Insects: Cockroaches, ants, fruit flies, and houseflies. These pests are particularly troublesome in food storage and processing areas, where their presence can result in regulatory violations and reputational damage.

3. Birds

Birds, such as pigeons and seagulls, can create major sanitation problems in and around factories and warehouses. Their droppings not only tarnish the cleanliness of your facility but can also pose health hazards, damage equipment, and create an unwelcoming atmosphere for employees and visitors.

Freight and Transport Pest Control

Transport vehicles and freight stored near factories or warehouses are also susceptible to pest infestations. Rodents and insects, including cockroaches and stored-product pests, can easily invade parked vehicles and stored goods. Infestations in transport vehicles, such as trucks or even aircraft, can disrupt business operations and damage goods in transit.

Shire Pest Solutions offers pest prevention programs specifically designed for freight and transport. These programs reduce the risk of infestation in vehicles and surrounding areas, ensuring your goods remain safe during storage and transit. By extending our warehouse pest control expertise to freight operations, we provide complete coverage for your business.
