When we think of pests that inflict significant damage, most of us tend to focus on rodents; compromising property integrity and harming a company’s reputation, or birds, which can create unsightly messes around buildings and health concerns. However, it’s crucial to recognise that pests like moths and beetles often fly under the radar but can also cause severe consequences, particularly for food manufacturers but also in our own homes.
These insects can lead to substantial financial losses due to contamination, spoilage, and wastage of food products. For food manufacturers, a moth or beetle infestation can disrupt production lines, trigger costly recalls, and tarnish brand reputation. At home, these pests ruin cupboard staples and stored food, resulting in both economic waste and increased stress for families.
To protect your business and home from these hidden threats, it’s essential to implement comprehensive pest management strategies. By prioritising proactive measures and collaborating with Elis Pest Control you can safeguard your business / home and ensure a healthy, pest-free space – our team has complied information about crawling insects you may find of interest – https://elispestcontrol.ie/crawling-insect-control/
