There’s this common perception out there that commercial buildings are incredibly resistant to the gnarly damage pests and termites may cause. It’s built upon the idea that commercial buildings are “more sturdy” and generally are made of steel foundations and frames and thus do not pose as much of a risk in attracting pests and termites. Andy and Alan from Conquer Termites Northside beg to differ.

When it comes to commercial buildings, warehouses, commercial kitchens and other commercial spaces, the team at Conquer Termites Northside have seen it all. If you’re in the commercial property or property management space, it’s important to conduct regular check-ups and inspections of your commercial property particularly in areas where chemicals and moisture reside. Underneath sinks, cabinets and joinery, and also by bathroom walls are the more popular places that see damage.

When thinking bigger, Andy and Adam note that warehouses become precarious breeding grounds for termites and pests alike - especially around wooden pallets, wooden shelving and again areas that attract moisture such as bathrooms and toilets. It’s not so much the structural damage that poses a risk here - but instead, damage may be had toward the items that these shelves and pallets actually contain. Don’t fall victim here to pallets and shelves that have arrived at your warehouse doorstep - ensure your commercial warehouse space is adequately protected today.

Food preparation areas such as commercial kitchens, restaurants and bars, are areas where you as the commercial property owner or manager cannot simply afford to have problems with pests or termites. This may mean reputation-related damage to your business. Can you imagine if a patron sat down at your restaurant and saw a cockroach on your wall? Or rat scoot across the floor of your service area? Thanks to social media, such hazards would catch wildfire online. Be smart and get your business premise checked today.
