How to Protect Your Business Against Pests This Holiday Season

With the festive cheer comes the responsibility to make sure that your establishment is welcoming and safe for your guests or customers. However, the increased activity and stockpiles of supplies can also invite unwelcome guests: pests. Addressing your pest control needs now can save you from hassles during the holiday rush.

Ja-Roy’s services are specifically tailored to help Louisiana businesses like yours prepare for the holidays. With local expertise and comprehensive commercial extermination services, we help you focus on what you do best – serving customers.

Is Pest Control Worth it in the Winter?

Absolutely! You might think pests are only a problem in the warmer months – but in winter, pests like rodents, cockroaches, and certain types of spiders seek shelter and warmth, often inside businesses. There’s the immediate discomfort and repulsion but also potential health risks and damage to your reputation.

Preventative measures and regular inspections are equally crucial to ensure that pests don’t see your business as a winter retreat.

Holiday Pest Control Tips for Businesses

Here are some expert tips to help keep pests out of your business during the busy holiday season:

• Inspect and Seal Entry Points: Check for gaps around doors, windows, and utility entries. A small crack is all it takes for pests to invade.
• Maintain Cleanliness: Regularly dispose of garbage and keep your premises clean. Pests are attracted to food remnants and clutter.
• Store Food Properly: Store food in sealed containers and keep them off the floor to discourage pests.
• Educate Staff: Ensure your employees are aware of pest prevention practices and what to look out for.
• Schedule Regular Inspections: Professional pest inspections help identify and address potential issues before they become full-blown infestations.

Hotel Pest Control

Common pests that infest hotels (and other hospitality businesses) include:

• Bedbugs: Known for their hitchhiking abilities, making any hotel their next potential home.
• Rodents: Seeking shelter and food, they can find their way into hotels easily.
• Cockroaches: They thrive in warm environments and can be found in kitchens, laundry rooms, and bathrooms.

Addressing pest issues in hotels requires a comprehensive approach – which we at Ja-Roy are definitely practiced in. Effective extermination requires regular inspections, immediate response to guest complaints, and preventative measures to ensure pests don’t have easy access.

Restaurant Pest Control

Restaurants are particularly susceptible to pest invasions due to the constant availability of food and warmth. Pests commonly found in restaurants include:

Flies: Attracted to food waste, they can contaminate food and surfaces.
Rodents: They can cause significant damage and pose health risks.
Cockroaches: Their presence can quickly tarnish a restaurant’s reputation.

Solving pest issues in restaurants specifically involves maintaining high hygiene standards, regular waste disposal, and sealing off entry points.
