Before you consider how can pests be controlled in supermarkets and food retail stores, have a look at the common pests found at such commercial premises:
1. Rodents
Rats and mice are a major problem for supermarket owners and food retailers. Easy access points, and an abundance of food products invite these rodents to such food premises. Regular rodent pest control is the only solution to keep these creatures away from your food store.
2. Cockroaches
Cockroaches are very common in food retail and food processing industries. Ignoring cockroaches in supermarkets can be a real danger for your food retail business. Book HiCare’s cockroach pest control to prevent damage to your food retail store.
3. Flies
Common house flies, drain flies, and fruit flies get tempted by fresh as well as rotten fruit, dairy, and meat stored in food stores. Therefore, there is an ardent need for regular pest control to keep these flies away to protect the food stored from getting contaminated.
4. Birds
Food stored inside the retail stores attracts pests, and the food waste disposed of outside attracts birds. Birds nesting around these food stores lead to contamination of the air, and area with their pathogen—loaded droppings. You can get away with this kind of bird mess outside your food retail store with a bird netting service.
5. Stored Product Insects (SPIs)
Where there is a lot of food, there is a great risk of insect infestation with specific Stored Product Insects or SPIs. It is a generic term that refers to all sorts of food pests like moths, beetles, mites, and weevils that infest food stored in retail stores.
