HELPING TO MAKE COMMERCIAL PEST CONTROL BETTER FOR EVERYONE

PROPEST COMMERCIAL

Pest control is one of the most important aspects for corporates to consider. Many times overlooked until such time as it’s too late, commercial pest control is best managed on a frequent and regular planned basis before reaching crisis levels.

Pest control is the topic nobody wants to talk about, until it is a problem; then it’s all that’s talked about. It can ruin reputations and undo all the hard work businesses do establishing themselves in the public eye. This is why the larger corporates tend to place greater importance on their own Pest Control policies.

In addition to pest control, your program might include other services such as:

Exclusion

Pests can enter your facility in a multitude of ways. To help prevent pests from finding their way inside, Propest can identify and seal numerous potential pest entry points such as cracks and crevices, creating a barrier against invasive species and carrying out the remedial works to ‘proof’ your site.

General Bird Control, Lethal Bird Control and Exclusion

Birds can and do cause major issues for this industry segment by soiling and damaging bulk packaging and wrapping. They also spread germs and disease through their droppings, found on perch sites within facilities, processing and warehousing floors, forklifts and pallets. They cause expensive property damage to buildings, roofs and ventilations systems. Even worse, they can spread serious illness to your staff or customers. Our Bird Control program can help protect your facility from this difficult problem.

NB: As Lethal Bird control can cause distress to some employees and customers – Propest takes all care to understand the needs and sensitivities of all staff & clients (or public) and act as humanely as possible in the dispatching of invasive (unprotected) species and notify NZ police of any service requiring a weapon.

Crawling Insect Control

Ants, Cockroaches, Spiders etc can all potentially cause a real issues within a processing facility. Propest can use chemical barrier spray methods, misting/fogging and baiting along with exclusion ideas to help prevent infestations. Complimentary Cockroach Monitor Stations are also included by Propest to monitor pest pressures and provide understanding to levels of service action required.

Fly Insect Control

Flying insects are a real nuisance and a health risk to food and beverage processing facilities. We can work with you to develop a Fly Control plan to fit your needs, using a combination of insect light traps (ILT’s), aerosol sprays, baits, chemical controls, and exclusion to help prevent infestations.

Sanitising ‘Quat’ Fogging

Having a sanitised mist or fog capable of killing bacteria on processing surfaces is an asset for large open processing rooms. Propest can use a sanitising quat to achieve this and offer a unique service to this industry segment.

SOME COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT PESTS

  • Regular Propest pest control treatments are necessary to keep pests out of your home or business. Most pest control products on the market are designed to last around a maximum of 45-60 days, and should be periodically reapplied in order to create a protective barrier around the exterior of your property. Also, pests can be extremely adaptive and resilient to pest control products and therefore require frequent applications to control a pest problem. We recommend treatment services between 1-3 months – depending on the nature of the invasive species in order to keep your property safe, secure and hygienic.

  • Propest follows a 360 degree pest program known as A.I.M.

  • The pest industry products used by Propest technicians here in New Zealand have undergone rigorous research, development and testing first at the manufacturer level, then at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and finally, in many cases through World Health Organisation and other international bodies. All Propest technicians have the required licences to handle these products and a wide range of regular training on their safe and appropriate use, is provided.

  • It is important to have an educated understanding of, and conservative respect for the pest control products that are applied in and around your home. In most cases, a person or pet should stay out the treated area until the pest control solution is dry. Propest recommends 2-4 hours stand down until it is safe to re-enter the property. The Propest pest control technician will provide you with a detailed service report that states the name of each product used, as well as where it was applied and when it is safe to re enter. If you ever have any questions about a specific product we used, please reach out to us so that labels and material data safety sheets can be provided.

  • A green or organic pest control treatment is any treatment that uses a naturally occurring, non-synthetically altered or enhanced pesticide. These products are usually botanical, and they have proven to be quite effective overall. However, they do sometimes lack the residual power of synthetic versions that have been created by scientists in laboratories.

  • Pesticides are chemicals that may be used to kill fungus, bacteria, insects, plant diseases, snails, slugs, or weeds among others. These chemicals can work by ingestion or by touch and death may occur immediately or over a long period of time.

    Insecticides are a type of pesticide that is used to specifically target and kill insects. Some insecticides include snail bait, ant killer, and wasp killer.

    Herbicides are used to kill undesirable plants or “weeds”. Some herbicides will kill all the plants they touch, while others are designed to target one species.
