Pest control for retail and grocery
Out of hours so the floor never closes, and aimed at the back of house where it actually starts.
- Before open or after close
- trading is never interrupted
- Back of house first
- because that is where it starts
- Head office format
- the report built the way they ask
Where it starts
It starts in the back and walks out front
Retail carries the shortest distance between a pest and a public photograph. The sales floor is the part everybody worries about and almost never the part with the problem: it starts in the stockroom, the delivery bay and the bin area, and it walks out front.
The stockroom and the back corridor
Cardboard, overstock and the gap behind the racking. Everything arrives here and some of it arrives occupied.
The delivery bay and the bins
Open through every delivery, next to the waste, and shared with every other unit in the plaza.
Anything with food in it, including the shelf
In grocery and convenience the stock itself is the attractant, so the shelving and its voids are part of the treatment rather than the surroundings.
You answer to head office, and to whoever has a phone
One photograph from one customer outlives the infestation by years and it is the first thing the next customer reads. For a franchise or a chain, the documented programme is also usually a condition of the agreement.
Some of the accounts we run
Restaurants, grocery, property management and condo boards across the city, on the same documented schedule.
The visit
What a store visit is built around
- Before opening or after close, so trading is never interrupted
- Stockroom, delivery bay and bin area every visit
- Discreet, because the visit itself should not be the thing customers notice
- A report in the format head office asks for
Not your building?
The method is the same everywhere. What changes is where we look first and who the record is for.
Restaurants and kitchens
Out of hours, documented, and built around the places a kitchen actually fails rather than the places a visitor sees.
Pest control hereWhat store managers ask
Visits run before opening or after close as standard, so trading is never interrupted, and nothing about the visit is visible to a customer. In retail, discretion is part of the brief rather than a courtesy: the visit itself should never be the thing anybody notices.
The stockroom, the delivery bay and the bin area, and it walks out front from there. Stock arrives occupied more often than anything walks in through the front door, which is why the back corridor and the gap behind the racking carry most of every visit, and the sales floor almost none of it.
Yes. The record is built to whatever your head office, franchise agreement or auditor asks for, and it accrues visit by visit rather than being assembled when somebody requests it, so the documented programme most chain agreements require already exists on the day it is asked about.
Anything not here, call 825-522-1997 and describe it. Most of the time we can tell you what it is on the phone.
