Pest control in commercial locations such as retail stores, restaurants, and office buildings is considerably harder than pest control in homes. This is because these locations typically have more entrances, more people, and more hiding places for pests. That being said, many of the same pest prevention solutions used in homes apply for commercial locations as well. Beyond those recommendations, cleaning especially important in commercial locations, as more people means more mess and more ideal conditions for pests. Hiring a reliable cleaning staff is often a sound investment for continued pest prevention. Other tips include covering large trach receptacles and dumpsters, investing in adequate lighting, staying on top of building maintenance, and regularly scheduling pest inspections with a pest control team in your area. Additionally, it’s important to keep all employees and property personnel on the same page about pest prevention. With every involved, pest prevention will be that much easier and more effective.

If you have ants in your kitchen or bathroom it is important to identify the ant involved before trying to get rid of it. Some ant species can be managed using ant baits, while others cannot. To be successful you must follow the ants back to their colony and treat the colony directly (except when dealing with pharaoh ants). ProActive service technicians have the experience to identify what type of ant it is and can then treat specifically for the problem.

Here are a few things you can do to cut down on the number of spiders you see in your home.

• Seal all holes and cracks around doors, windows, vents, fans, lights, etc.
• Seal any openings around pipes under sinks in both the kitchen and bathroom.
• Place sticky traps near doorways, along walls, in the garage, behind furniture, and anywhere else you are seeing them.
• Regularly remove webs from the house, garage, and outside windows.
