Why Pest Control is Crucial for Warehouses and Industrial Facilities
Imagine your best customer opening your latest shipment only to find a family of mice nesting in the rack of garments or inside the ordered car parts? Yet every time you open your doors, you risk pests entering your facility along with your guests.
Warehouses and industrial facilities serve as hubs for storing goods and materials essential for various industries. However, these spaces are also attractive to pests seeking shelter, food, and water.
Without proper pest control measures in place, warehouses and industrial facilities are susceptible to infestations, which can have detrimental effects, including:
- Damage to Stock: Pests such as rodents, cockroaches, stored product pests, insects, and birds can contaminate and damage stored goods, leading to financial losses and compromised product quality.
- Health Risks: Some pests carry pathogens and bacteria that pose serious health risks to employees and customers. Contaminated products can also have serious consequences for health.
- Damage to Property: Pests can cause damage to buildings, equipment, and infrastructure, leading to repairs and maintenance.
- Legal and Reputational Consequences: Failure to maintain a pest-controlled environment can result in regulatory fines, legal liabilities, and damage to your brand reputation.

Common Pests We Treat at Warehouses and Industrial Facilities
Over the many years we have been treating warehouses and industrial facilities in South-East Queensland, we’ve collected comprehensive information on pest control. The pests we commonly treat include:
Cockroaches – They can spread disease and can cause diarrhea, allergic reactions, and asthma. That’s some serious stuff. They often live in groups and during the day will hide in boxes, cracks, electronic devices, drains and sewers.
Spiders – Some spiders like redbacks make webs which can cause damage to stock. Redbacks, in particular, make very messy webs usually close to the ground. They are fairly small, black, and the females have the famous red mark on their bodies. The venom of the female can cause death or severe illness and the bite causes severe pain. Redbacks are very common but there are many other species of spider found in South-East Queensland.
Rodents – Rats and mice destroy property, carry and spread diseases. Brisbane has two common types of pest rats, the Norway rat and the smaller grey or black, Roof Rat.
Ants – Some bite and some bite multiple times. They carry away food scraps. There are thousands of different ant varieties with black ants being the most common. They may seem harmless, but a severe ant infestation can cause property damage.
Termites – They can be an issue in all types of commercial facilities. It all depends on the building design, construction materials, building age, and other internal and external factors including frequency of termite inspections and treatments.
Nuisance Birds – Pigeons and other nesting birds area common nuisance and cause damage when they find their way into Commercial properties. Bird droppings are acidic and corrode surfaces, including rooftops, and equipment.
