Why you need pest control for logistics
The movement of goods through your warehouse or storage facility increases the risk of pest infestation. Biosecurity clears goods for pests and disease arriving from overseas. But after the goods leave the wharf or airport, local pests can easily hitchhike to your premises. Pests can set up home on the container, packaging or in your goods.
Storage facilities are particularly vulnerable to pest infestation. Different goods, such as grains, fertilisers and organic material can carry a variety of pests. Doors are often open in storage areas. So birds, rodents and cockroaches can easily enter.
Cardboard boxes and pallets can provide nesting for vermin. Insects can also travel from interstate to your loading dock on the truck.
Cars, machinery, tyres and other break bulk cargo can harbour insects, transporting them to your storage facility.
Why pest control is essential for manufacturing
Pests can quickly disrupt your supply chain and insurance often won’t cover the loss of goods due to insect damage. Rodents, cockroaches and birds can cause the following problems.
- Damage product packaging
- Cause customer rejection
- Endanger your employees
- Threaten your reputation
- Damage goods
- Cause loss of profits
Cockroaches are a common pest in storage facilities
Cockroaches are attracted to damp, unclean areas. Our technicians have found wet cardboard packaging from recent flooding and rain attract cockroaches.
Although these pests are shy, they’re visible once their numbers reach a threshold. A cockroach infestation can invade warehouses and storage facilities, even if you don’t store food. As these areas are open, our technicians will treat inside your facility and the perimeter.
Our technician may suggest drying damp areas and removing wet packaging to prevent further problems.
Birds are a pest in warehouses
Birds can be a pest in warehouse rafters. They can roost and nest on beams, leaving droppings on goods.
We have safe and effective bird deterrents that stop birds from nesting in your warehouse.
Rats and mice are common pests in manufacturing and logistic industries
Another pest we find around loading docks, skip bins and storage rooms is rodents. Rats and mice spread diseases and increase very quickly in number. Our SMART technology can treat these pests discreetly, proactively and safely.

Consequences of an Untreated Pest Infestation in Your Business:
Physical damage to the premises: This commonly includes small holes in the floor and walls, teeth marks in furniture and other structures plus tracks and markings on the walls. Product contamination: Pests can not only leave their droppings in your product. They can also contaminate products and processing equipment by spreading germs from the garbage or the sewerage. Pests can also leave their body parts or shed skins inside products or may be accidentally ground up by machinery and shipped in products like cereal. Spread of diseases: Rats and mice can transmit illnesses such as Lyme disease and Salmonellosis, while cockroach-borne diseases include dysentery and typhoid fever, among others. If you want to keep your employees healthy, it pays to have regular pest inspections. Loss of reputation: This is something to be aware of whether your business is open to the public or not. If word of a pest infestation spreads, your livelihood will take a hit, especially in this age of social media. Loss of the business: In extreme cases, a visit from the health inspector can even mean closure of your business, putting both you and your staff out of work.
