Three Tips to Protect Your Office Building from Summer Pests

Summer is here and unfortunately, so are the pests. Here are three simple preventative tips that will help keep your building running and pest free all summer long:

1. Keep your shrubs and trees neatly trimmed and a safe distance from the building. During the spring and summer, your landscaping will take off and sprout all sorts of new growth. While this can be a real testament to your green thumb, it also creates new pathways for insects, including destructive termites, to gain access to your home.

2. Look out for places where standing water can gather. Wherever water has accumulated, you are sure to find a treasure trove of mosquitoes. Be sure to survey the outside of your building and clean up any pots, trash cans or other objects that may be collecting rain water and providing a breeding ground.

You may also want to consider filling in any low spots on the property. Even a rain puddle that accumulates and takes a few days to dry up can be enough for bugs to thrive.

3. Seal any cracks around windows and doors. Not only will this cut down on your utility bills by preventing cold air from seeping out, it will also make it harder for insects to access the building.

If it is too late for preventative measures and you need help, call Stern Environmental for all your NJ pest control needs.

Keeping Pests Out of Your Workplace – What Everyone Should Know

You have a business and everything is running just fine until you realize you have four and six-legged pests in the workplace. While it’s important to eradicate crawling, burrowing, or flying pests in their tracks, it’s equally important for you to keep employees safe from the germs and disease carried by these unwanted intruders.

Many types of pests find their way into office buildings for a variety of reasons. They’re usually on the hunt for available food, water, nesting area, or shelter from inclement weather.

The list is long of the types of pests you may find lodging in your office building. A few of the better known problematic pests include cockroaches, ants, spiders, fruit flies, and fungus gnats that generate from plants that have been watered to excess.

The four-legged furry pests no one wants to see roving the corridors are rats and mice. These pests are adept at squeezing into and under the smallest hole in search of food which can consist of fabric, plastic and paper.

If the building has any open area around the eaves, squirrels will make their way inside to set up housekeeping for a new batch of babies.

There’s plenty to do to contain, remove, and secure buildings with the services of the professionals at Stern Environmental Group.
