Warehouse Pest Control

Pests can present significant challenges for factories and warehouses, potentially causing costly disruptions to your business operations. These environments are highly attractive to pests due to the storage and production of various goods, including foodstuffs, which can often lead to pest infestations and contamination if not managed effectively.

At Shire Pest Solutions, we understand the risks associated with pest activity in factories, warehouses, and depots. These pests not only cause damage and contamination but can also facilitate the transportation of insects and rodents to other businesses, retailers, or even customers. To prevent such issues, we provide comprehensive pest inspection, proactive monitoring, and effective pest management services tailored to production areas, storage units, and depots.


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:

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.
