4 Reasons Revealed: Why You Should Hire a Pest Management Service for Effective Rodent Control
Posted: Feb 22, 2019
As with residential properties in Singapore, rodent infestations are also quite common in commercial properties also. Rodents not only cause damage to your property such as chewing on the phone wires, electrical wires, and papers, they also bring along the risk of several diseases. Offices are one of the ideal places for rats to sneak in and breed. They get to feed on papers and food crumbles and hide in store rooms. Every year, many offices in Singapore report of rat infestations and the consequent financial losses they have to suffer.
It is imperative for commercial entities to hire professionals for rat control in Singapore as they help in removing these vermin as well as keep the property safe from rodents and also diseases carried by them. At times, preventive measures may fail and for an effective long term solution, pest management services are the only option.
Here’s a look at reasons why you should hire reputed professionals in Singapore for end-to-end rodent monitoring:
Health concerns
As discussed above, rodents can spread diseases through their saliva, urine, and droppings. Rodents can spread as many as 35 different diseases and leave behind almost 50 pellets per day which is a lot of contamination. When their faeces get dried, it can break apart and spread harmful particles in the air. Rats can cause food poisoning, Hantavirus, and several other diseases.
Reputation
It goes without saying that if someone spots rodents in your property, it will hamper your reputation. Imagine a client visiting you for an important deal and spotting rodents running across your property. In commercial spaces such as cafes, restaurants, and hotels, a rodent sighting can lead to you losing your loyal customers. It won’t be long before the entire city would be talking about your infested property and people would avoid stepping in. It can also lead to low health inspection scores or a shutdown.
Property damage
Rats can chew and destroy your utility lines, electrical wires, phone wires, important documents, support beams, doors, and sheet rock. They can burrow under foundations and make a tunnel via walls and the ceiling. All this can lead to expensive bills on repairing. Rodents need to grind their teeth for at least 30 minutes daily and while doing so they can wreak havoc.
Prevention is better
It is recommended to get rid of these nasty pests in the initial stage of the infestation as it becomes really difficult when the infestation spreads throughout the entire property. Even if you spot just a single rodent, it’s time to call companies specialising in rat control in Singapore and get your property inspected immediately. Prevention is always better than cure, so try to practice preventive techniques and measures for securing your commercial space.
