Groceries

Offering an almost endless supply of food and water, grocery stores or international food shops provide a perfect haven for pests such as mice, rats, and cockroaches. But once these pests manage to sneak in through cracks and crevices in your facility they can wreak widespread damage to your business.

Mice and rats consume goods meant for sale, contaminating about 10 times as much food as they actually eat. Meanwhile, they can also chew through inorganic, indigestible materials, damaging wiring, drywall, insulation, siding, and wallboards.

In addition to spreading disease and triggering allergic reactions, rodents also serve as carriers of parasitic insects such as mites and fleas.

Meanwhile, cockroaches are extremely unsanitary, contaminating food and spreading diseases. Other pest species — including flies and stored product pests — further disrupt retail operations and compromise product safety.

Grocery stores have their own unique set of pest issues. This makes professional pest control a priority to ensure your grocery store remains protected against pest issues. Orkin will ensure that you receive the peace of mind and can avoid any pest-related disruptions to your operations.
