Industrial Pest Control Services in Baton Rouge

Differences Between Commercial & Industrial Pest Control Services

Our industrial services differ from our Home and Commercial services in several key ways:

• Training: Our Service Technicians are Offshore and Onshore safety certified (including Control of Work). They are trained in Emergency Response and have the required expertise to operate in high-risk facilities. All are fully trained in CPR, environmental management, fire prevention, safe working practices, materials-handling and the use of personal protective equipment.
• Scale: The expanse of industrial sites is usually much larger than that of domestic or commercial locations. Industrial facilities are often housed in much larger buildings and occupy greater acreage than residential or commercial ones, and may require more nuanced pest management strategies to be effective.
• Complexity: Industrial facilities are often more complex than residential or commercial ones, with a variety of equipment, machinery, and other factors that can contribute to pest problems. Industrial pest control professionals need to take these factors into account when developing pest management approaches and sometimes include coordinating with other works involving third party service or equipment providers.
• Pest types: The types of pests that beset industrial operations may differ from those encountered in domestic or commercial settings. Industrial facilities may be more prone to infestations of rodents, mosquitoes, ants,  wasp/ bee/hornet, stored product insects, and other types of pests that are attracted to large-scale food processing and storage operations.
• Treatment methods: More rigorous treatments and more complex procedures are required in Industrial environments than in others, examples include fumigation, wide area mosquito control, indoor and outdoor ant control or heat treatments. These approaches may be necessary to effectively manage pests in large-scale industrial facilities.
• Safety of workers and customers: Pest control technicians are exposed to many potential hazards such as those associated with working: at heights; in confined spaces; around flammable substances; with toxic chemicals; around potentially dangerous machinery; in proximity to sources of live power and exposure to physical injury, loss of limb, loss of life and physical overexertion. They need to be trained and equipped to handle these hazards safely to protect themselves, the clients they serve and the property they work on or with.
• Compliance with regulations: Industrial facilities are subject to a range of stringent and peculiar health, safety, quality and site-specific requirements that invariably impact pest management strategies. Industrial facilities are also frequently subject to multiple regulations impacting pest management,  as such the service provider must be familiar, and compliant with them so as to provide services that meet legal, health, food safety, environmental preservation and customer specific requirements.
• Protection of property: Industrial facilities may have valuable equipment, inventory, raw materials and documents that need to be protected from pest damage. A pest management company must have the necessary training and expertise to identify, treat, and prevent pest infestations effectively.
• Reputation: Industrial facilities have strict compliance requirements for service providers. If a pest control company fails to meet these requirements or causes damage or harm, it could blemish the organization’s reputation and result in a loss of business and a reduction in profits.
