Common warehouse pest problems
- Rats and mice entering through loading bay doors, gaps under roller shutters and damaged cladding
- Pigeons roosting in roof trusses and fouling stock and racking
- Stored product insects in food, grain, animal feed and packaging
- Flies and wasps around waste compactors and yards
Industrial estates
From Old Kent Road and Bermondsey trading estates to Charlton, Belvedere, Erith and Crayford, industrial areas often sit beside railways, the river and open land, which brings pressure from rats. A perimeter of external bait stations, internal monitoring traps and well-maintained doors is the backbone of warehouse pest control.
Our approach
- Site survey and plan showing external and internal monitoring points
- External bait stations around the perimeter and yard
- Internal monitoring with traps and insect monitors near doors, racking and stock
- Proofing: door brushes, roller shutter seals, mesh on vents and repairs to damaged cladding
- Bird proofing of roof spaces with netting or spikes where pigeons roost
- Reports after each visit for audits, customers and insurers
