Commercial Pest Control
“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.
Below are the different industries Propest services:

Very rarely are two facilities the same and so your Propest Commercial Pest Specialist will take a detailed & disciplined approach based on the principles of Integrated Pest Management (IPM), which rely on innovative and proactive techniques to help prevent pests and use chemicals only as a last resort. From day one and at every service visit Propest Technicians will assess your unique situation, implement sound solutions and monitor the results. Learn more about our proven A.I.M. approach.
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.
Floor and Drain Cleaner – A low-impact answer to grease and grime, Propest has a partnership with is a professional chemical and cleaning solution company that uses a unique blend of naturally occurring enzymes and beneficial bacteria to help you maintain a pristine production environment.
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.
A Reputation to Rely On
Reputation is as important to the local bakery as it is to Coca Cola or McDonald’s; no business is ‘too small’ to make pest control a priority within Facilities Management. Reputation aside, pest infestations can pose an extreme health risk. Failure to carry out the necessary precautions may result in some severe consequences for employer, employee and customer, depending on the nature of the company. No company, whether SME or global corporation, can afford to overlook its FM responsibilities and commercial pest control is certainly no exception. Gaps as small as ballpoint pens are large enough for baby mice to fit through and are common in new builds just as much as old buildings. Simply taking small precautions such as filling in these gaps will go a long way to a cleaner, healthier and pest free environment. However, sometimes these things simply cannot be avoided and if you are unfortunate enough to encounter a pest infestation, there’s nobody better at removing it than us.
We will be on hand quickly to deal with this and can provide a rapid response from anywhere in the UK to make sure your pest problem doesn’t last any longer than it needs to.
