Common Warehouse Pests

We have provided services to many warehouses over our 25+ years in business. We have learned that pests are not particularly picky when choosing a space to infest. They can flourish in many settings if their basic needs are met. 

Warehouses are ideal for many pests, as they often include a wealth of potential hiding places. If the warehouse has a kitchen space—or, worse yet, if the warehouse is a food-storage facility—the area becomes all the more attractive. This is a problem because each pest can have a different, though nonetheless impactful, effect on your warehouse.

Here is a quick list of pests that flourish in warehouse settings and the hazards they present: 

• Cockroaches: Cockroaches contaminate food and spread disease. 
• Flies: Flies can quickly breed and grow in numbers, which creates hygiene issues as they land on surfaces like food products. 
• Rodents: Rodents can cause severe damage to infrastructure by gnawing through wires, insulation, boxes, and other materials. 
• Bed Bugs and Dust Mites: These parasites feed off human blood and may cause allergic reactions or skin irritations. 
• Termites and Carpenter Ants: These wood-destroying insects consume structural components of warehouses, creating structural weakness in the building’s foundation. 
• Stored Product Insects (SPIs): SPIs are tiny insects that infest stored food products such as grains, beans, cereals, and spices, reducing the quality of goods stored in warehouses.

Further, these pests have one thing in common: their presence could profoundly affect your reputation. Though your customers cannot see what is happening behind the scenes, you may end up shipping a product that contains evidence of a pest infestation, such as wings, droppings, or dead bugs. Don’t take that chance! 

Our team will comprehensively inspect your warehouse, pinpointing pests and where they have taken refuge. We will then create a treatment plan designed for your unique space. Call on our team today for Raleigh warehouse pest control services you can trust. 

How to Identify a Warehouse Infestation 

Identifying a pet problem in a warehouse can be difficult for people, especially if their warehouse is large and filled with nooks and crannies. Invasive insects and rodents didn’t make it this far without the ability to hide and cover their tracks! That said, if you know what to look for, you may be able to spot some evidence of an infestation. 

Some common signs of a pest invasion in warehouses include:

• Visual Sightings: The presence of pests such as rodents or insects may be prominent. These signs may include droppings, nesting materials, and live or dead pests.
• Unusual Noises: Rodents, such as rats and mice, often make scratching and gnawing sounds at night, which you may be able to hear if you listen closely.
• Damage to Goods and Packaging: Pests can cause significant damage to products, packaging materials, and structures. Look for chew marks, holes, and other signs of damage.
• Unexpected Behavior of Pests: Changes in the behavior of pests can be a sign of infestation. For example, an increase in cockroach activity during the day may indicate a problem, as they are usually nocturnal.
• Unpleasant Odors: Unpleasant odors can be a sign of pest infestation, especially in the case of rodents and insects that leave droppings and decaying food.

Early detection of a pest infestation is crucial to prevent it from spreading and causing further damage. If you suspect a pest problem, it is essential to give us a call and have our team assess the situation and implement a comprehensive control plan. Remember, though, that not every infestation is easily identifiable and that we can perform a thorough inspection to allay any worries about pests that you may have.
