Fighting Pests in the Office

People don’t often think about it, but offices also have many problems with pests. Here is a handful of ways you can stop pests from invading your office this summer:

• Food and Crumbs – People love to snack at their desks in offices and it is important to make sure that people are cleaning up after themselves. If you are having a problem with pests, you should give your employees a nice dining area and plenty of break time to encourage them to eat in one central location. People are more likely to clean up after themselves in one of these spaces.
• Empty the Trash – You should be working hard to make sure the trash is emptied every day. You can make the request of your cleaning company or make sure there is someone in the office who’s responsibilities include making sure all of the garbage cans are emptied every day.
• Check for Standing Water – If a mosquito gets into your office and there is standing water from leaky pipes, you are creating a breeding ground for mosquitos. Make sure you have to standing water at any time and call the plumber when there is a problem.
