Food Retail Pest control service

Have you happened to see products in the grocery store with a few holes on the packaging which look like bites of something and are wet with a urine-like smell? And when you look at the bottom of the shelves, you found many small and black feces all over. Absolutely, it is a sign of rodents infestation. Rodents are one of many pests usually found in many retail grocery stores. Rats and mice love to stay in a very comfortable place with ready food available like a grocery store.

They are also attracted to stacks of boxes inside the store warehouse to find more food and breed. There are many factors attributed to rats’ infestation in the grocery store. Poor sanitation is one of these. Grocery store personnel do not keep the store clean from spills of broken or open packs of products all the time, some nearing expiration or near spoiled food items, particularly fresh foods are still displayed on shelves.

Another thing is a disorganized display of products of different kinds, there are products mixed with different categories, or the manner of shelving is not properly arranged. Lastly, store managers and supervisors prefer manual ways of eliminating pests, such as putting traps, giving orders to merchandisers to catch these rats, and even using cats at night when the store is closed already. The presence of rodents may bring danger to consumers, employees, and to store owners. (Read: Commercial pest control service)
