Non-Food Retail Industry

Non-food facilities or stores are found in a variety of situations ranging from an aisle in a department store, to a specialty shop, or a dedicated free-standing building. Retail establishments represent an opportunity for pest control because they are national accounts. People in these facilities are welcomed inside the building to shop and access the service, doors are always open, continuous deliveries and storage areas, and other hiding places for pests. Managers of these types of facilities have many concerns that, without a proper pest control plan, affect their businesses. Therefore, ETS has a highly experienced team and is always committed to providing protection from pests and eliminating all concerns all year round.

Non-food retail facilities are at risk for many pests because pests move from one store to another, and from retail food establishments located in the same facility (mall as an example), shipping and receiving areas in the non-food retail are the main entry point for pests, and outside lighting and landscape can attract pests. Failure to control pests by pest control operators in non-food facilities can lead to serious consequences and concerns. Legal consequences because failure to control pests lead to fines, closure of the premises, fines, and prosecutions. Pests can spread disease, putting customers and employees at risk. Also, the discovery of a single pest in the hospitality facilities can prevent customers from entering or e-entering these facilities (reputation or poor publicity concern). Therefore, cleanliness is imperative for customer acquisition and retention.

Several common pests found in health care facilities carry bacteria inside or on the surface of their bodies. These bacteria are known to cause infections among hospital patients if these pests come in direct contact with the patient’s skin or wounds, or indirectly by contaminating their food or medical supplies, or even equipment. Prevention of any type of infection or contamination is the responsivity of the administration of each health care facility and the pest control company who are implementing the management strategy.
The professionals at ETS have first-hand experience and expertise in dealing with a wide range of pest problems, are able to get to the source of infestation to efficiently eliminate all types of pests, and protect your stocks and business. We inspect each section of the facility to ensure pests are always discovered and treated with different management methods and to ensure a safe and hygienic working environment for customers and employees.
