Pennsylvania’s own Benjamin Franklin famously said, “In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.” With all respect due to our founding father, Ben Franklin forgot about pests. Pests are a fact of life, as inevitable as death and taxes. We can learn to live with pests, but most of us would prefer to live without them. And that’s why Pennsylvania has commercial pest control services—services that get rid of pests in all Pennsylvania businesses from the largest companies to the smallest. Who needs commercial pest control? You probably do if your business is in Pennsylvania because it is rare to have any business located in the state that does not at some point have some issue with insects, rodents, or problem animals.
1. Healthcare, medical services, and biotech. All of these industries provide essential services that depend explicitly on cleanliness and sanitation. Pests do spread diseases—not all, but many. Even pests that do not actively spread diseases can disrupt a healthcare, medical, or laboratory environment to a degree that seriously compromises the integrity of the business. Commercial pest control is not about putting on a show, it’s about genuinely creating a sterile and problem-free environment.
2. Restaurants and food prep. It should be obvious that commercial pest control is critical in restaurants and food preparation businesses, and you would not want to know how many of these food industry businesses try to get away with sporadic pest control or no pest control services at all! Pest control is a preventative measure in the food service industry. Once pests set in, they can wreak havoc, creating problems that are potentially harmful to the health of your customers, and of your business.
3. Hospitality. Does anyone actually want to sleep in a hotel with bed bugs? The first time a guest sees a cockroach in their bathroom is probably the last time they spend the night in your establishment.
