Cockroach Control

Cockroaches are prevalent throughout the world and have survived virtually unchanged through millions of years of evolution. Cockroaches are a major health risk and spread disease.

Their musky odour is produced by large numbers of cockroaches and may taint sensitive foods such as fats and raw material lines. They leave vomit and faecal marks on packaged goods or the cartons they are in, which can render them unusable, resulting in financial loss and/or major embarrassment. Cockroaches are omnivorous and can live on small quantities of anything. Their habit of regurgitating the contents of their crops onto surfaces over which they traverse is responsible for contaminating these surfaces with a whole range of bacteria including Salmonella. 

Cockroaches are a much greater threat to the health of staff and clients in commercial and food processing facilities than either rats or mice.

Quick action when signs of infestation are detected and ongoing maintenance to prevent further infestations is essential. Professional treatment is a necessary option to gain positive results because of availability to effective products and practices.

Rodent Control

Rats and mice are the largest of the pests you will probably experience in commercial, warehouse, factory or office facilities and are generally the ones that do the most damage. For example: the world loses 10% of its foodstuffs through the activities of rats and mice.

Because their large incisor teeth constantly grow, there is a need to keep them at a manageable length, so they must constantly chew on hard materials such as wood, concrete, electrical wiring, water pipes, computer cables, fabrics etc, to stay alive.

The consequence of this constant gnawing can cause water pipes to leak, electrical short circuits, computer failures and damage to packaging especially packaged food.

Rat or mouse activity in food storage, commercial storage or canteen/tearoom areas inevitably leads to contamination by way of constant urination or by way of excreta as they transverse over varying surfaces. In addition to the damage rodents cause to storage they are also responsible for food-borne diseases such as salmonella. An effective Rodent control program is essential to protect you company\\\'s reputation and to prevent stock from being ruined due to damage and contamination. Regular management is required if you have a site that is susceptible to rodent attack.
