Top Hotspots
Warehouses and distribution centers are areas that pests love to dwell. This is because it has the presence of food, water and shelter, basically all the items necessary for pests to thrive. Therefore, it is essential that regular inspections are carried out – for pest identification and treatment to be executed.
Areas that are more prone to pest activity include:
- Employee break rooms: leftover food that are not disposed off, unwashed dishes
- Storage rooms: great sheltered and hiding places for pests. This also allows them to breed without being noticed
- Dumpsters: they attract cockroaches, ants, rats, flies
- Loading docks: due to its high traffic, it allows pests to be carried around and to various places
- Pallets: they are favourite places for wood-eating pests like termites
1) Securing The Exterior
Pest would need little space to infiltrate into a premise, therefore the first thing that a professional would do is to seal up a premise’s entry points (holes, cracks). Following which, maintenance staffs would need to be deployed to conduct routine inspections in the event any of these entry points need redoing. The cracks would also need to be filled with rodent-proof sealant and other solutions to repel pests such as: rodents, termites, etc
(2) Implementing a Sanitation Routine
After securing the entry points, the next step is doing a wipe down on work areas consistently. We will use solutions to prevent residual build up on machinery and around drains that would potentially attract pests. We will also remove unnecessary clutter in your premise. It is advised that staffs adopt a practice to place older products at the front of storage areas.
(3) Monitoring Devices
After which, baits stations and traps will be set in targeted areas to help to bring out pests, and eliminate them. These traps also serve as data for us to analyse which areas are more susceptible to pests, and which areas still have pests lurking
(4) Ensure That Staffs Follow Supplier Verification
Staffs need to ensure that goods are not brought directly from vehicle to storage areas. There needs to be a routine check in placed – where packages are broken down and inspected before they are moved. Staffs would need to look out for signs of pest infestation such as: droppings, stains, damages done, etc.
Common Pests Found In Logistics & Supply Chain Facilities
Cockroaches
- Due to the high influx of goods and materials, they are a source of food for cockroaches, which will seek out these goods
- Cockroaches are an avid carrier of bacteria and diseases and can potentially contaminate goods in the supply chain
Rodents
- Rodents can cause structural damage as well as cause damages to items in the supply chain
- Monitor your warehouses, shipping areas and garbage disposal areas, as they can be a form of shelter for rats
Termites
- Wooden pallets would attract wood eating pests such as termites
- Not only will they cause damages to your goods, but they can move further up the supply chain and hunt for other wood items
Stored Product Pests
- These pests are hard to detect as they could already be inside the goods.
- They mainly cause damage to your stored food, and could lead all the way up to the consumer’s end, which would affect the brand’s reputation
