The Importance Of Pest Proofing Your Business

You don’t get a second chance to make a first impression. Reputation is the lifeblood of a business, and whether your business is food or paper clips, pests can hurt your image, and taint your brand.

Insects, rodents, and birds give the following impression:

• This business is dirty. The last thing a client or customer wants to see is a roach crawling on the wall. Whether they voice their disgust or not, this will leave them with a less than savory memory of their visit.
• This building feels rundown or abandoned. Having ants along your walkway, insects fluttering around your entrance, or birds nesting on your exterior sills, is as bad as leaving the lights off and having no sign that says open. Even if your business doesn’t rely upon an inviting storefront, this is the first impression you will leave with your clients or customers.
• This company is failing. Like a weather-worn sign, or a burnt out letter, bugs give the impression that you’re not able to keep up with things. You may dazzle them when they get inside, but this first impression will be hard to shake.

Pests hurt businesses

• Termites and ants cause structural damage to buildings, that can cost thousands to repair. Slanted door frames, and half eaten exteriors are unsightly, and bad for business.
• Mice chew holes, gnaw on wires, and contaminate food. If you own a restaurant or a warehouse that stores food, this pest can have a ripple effect on your business.
• Cockroaches spread disease and bacteria, and their presence in any business is a repellent to customers.
• A flock of ducks might be nice and welcoming, but pigeons can leave a disgusting mess on your front walkway, and give the impression that your building is in disrepair.
