Other Pest Control
Handle Other Pest Problems — Everything from Earwigs to Woodlice
Other pests can include spiders, millipedes and centipedes, silverfish and firebrats, earwigs, woodlice and various types of beetle.
Danger Signs
- Live or dead insects
- Spider webs
Potential Harm
Untreated infestations can cause:
- Contamination of foodstuffs
- Many of these insects are casual intruders — their presence is a nuisance and irritation rather than a major threat
- There are very poisonous species of spiders and centipedes. A bite of these can be fatal, especially if the individual is allergic.
- Increased maintenance and cleaning cost, in case of spider webs.
Business Consequences
- Economic — damage to goodwill, reputation, custom and income
- Staff — deterioration in employee relationships
Steps to Take
- Proof your premises with insect screens and doors
- Enter into a service agreement with a pest control company so a schedule of regular visits can keep pest infestation problems from recurring
