Specialist pest control for warehouse
Why do warehouses need pest management
In warehousing, prevention is far more effective—and far less costly—than cure. A single pest incursion can damage large volumes of stock, disrupt operations, and result in business closures that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. The Pest Animal Strategy estimates that the national economic impact of pest animals in Australia is between $720 million and $1 billion annually.
The sheer size and complexity of warehouse environments make pest control a specialised task. Without a professional partner such as Competitive Pest Services (CPS), you risk exposure to both the financial and reputational consequences of an infestation.
That’s why CPS provides specialist warehouse pest management, delivering inspections, treatments, and preventative strategies that protect your assets and keep your business operating smoothly.
Facilities that require pest control
Every warehouse needs protection, but sites storing food, dry goods, and beverages are particularly at risk. Other facilities that benefit from proactive pest management include:
-
Wholesalers and distribution centres
-
Manufacturing plants
-
Transport and logistics depots
-
Medical storage facilities
-
Data centres and refrigerated warehouses
Optimised design and layout play a role, but professional pest management is the cornerstone of keeping these spaces safe, clean, and compliant.
Risks of pests in warehouses
Unchecked pest activity can cause:
-
Contamination of products and surfaces
-
Spread of bacteria and disease
-
Loss of stock and damage to property
-
Business closures and compliance breaches
-
Irreparable harm to reputation
-
Declining staff morale
Common warehouse pests
-
Rodents – Gnawing damage to stock and infrastructure; transmit serious diseases such as salmonella and leptospirosis.
-
Flying insects – Flies, mosquitoes, moths, and wasps spread disease, infest timber, and create workplace hazards.
-
Cockroaches – Highly resilient; contaminate equipment, appliances, and food storage areas.
-
Birds – Nest in high warehouse ceilings, causing contamination, property damage, and workplace risks.
Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
CPS uses an Integrated Pest Management approach, combining eco-friendly, preventative, and targeted methods to deliver long-term protection. Unlike traditional reactive pest control, IPM focuses on risk reduction, prevention, and sustainability.
Benefits of IPM:
-
Reduced health and safety risks for staff and customers
