Preparing residential spaces
Getting a commercial space ready
Even shops and offices need regular commercial pest control. It is important for the sake of health of the people working in that area. You must close the space and issue prior notice to prevent discomfort to your customers and employees. If you have a kitchen or a serving area, extra care needs to be taken to keep the utensils and serve ware uncontaminated. Bathrooms must be emptied out end-to-end and the soaps/detergents should be replaced post the pest control service is successfully carried out. All loose paper must necessarily be disposed. The desks in offices must be cleared out prior to the event. The furniture should be covered to prevent chemicals from accumulating on chairs, seats, etc. Most importantly, your inventory and register area needs to be properly secured and all shelf space must be empty. As a thumb rule, anything that comes in human contact has be kept away securely and food/disposables should be removed.
