Warehouse Pest Control for factories, depots & storage facilities
At Shire Pest Solutions, we understand the risks associated with pest activity in factories, warehouses, and depots. Pests can cause damage, contamination, downtime, and can even be transported to customers through stock and freight.
We provide comprehensive inspections, proactive monitoring, and effective pest management tailored to production areas, storage units, loading bays, and depots.
Warehouse Pest Control
Factories and warehouses face constant threats from rodents, insects, and birds. Without professional warehouse pest control, infestations can damage stock, disrupt operations, and harm staff wellbeing. Shire Pest Solutions delivers tailored protection that supports compliance, reduces contamination risk, and helps safeguard your reputation.
We support businesses across Oxfordshire, including Didcot and Wallingford, ensuring local facilities remain protected.
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 creates different risks, so professional control is usually a combination of inspection, monitoring, targeted treatment, and prevention.
1. Rodents
Rats and mice can gnaw through materials such as packaging, wiring, insulation, and soft building materials. Rodent activity can lead to contamination, damage, and serious health and safety issues — especially where goods are stored or handled.
2. Insects
Insects can be difficult to detect early, yet can spread quickly through stored goods and processing areas. Common risks include stored product pests and general crawling/flying insects, particularly in food and packaging environments.
- Grain weevils
- Flour beetles
- Biscuit beetles
- Warehouse moths
- Cockroaches
- Ants
- Fruit flies
- Houseflies
3. Birds
Birds such as pigeons and gulls can create sanitation problems around roofs, loading bays, signage, and external waste areas. Droppings can damage surfaces, contaminate goods/areas, and create slip hazards — while nesting can block vents and gutters.
Freight and Transport Pest Control
Transport vehicles and freight areas are also vulnerable. Rodents and insects can enter parked vehicles, pallets, and goods awaiting dispatch. If pests get into the supply chain, the impact can extend beyond your site.
We can extend warehouse pest control programmes to cover loading bays, dispatch zones, and high-risk storage — helping reduce infestation risk during both storage and transit.
