We don’t like to think about them but pests are everywhere and they are always looking for a dry and cozy place to hide. One place that’s quite tempting is the HVAC system in your commercial space. Pests of all kinds can find it a desirable home and then start breeding. As they multiply, their remnants start taking over with bits of fur, wings, shells, or even carcasses from those that didn’t make it getting into the air ducts and causing health problems for those in your building.
Staying on top of the HVAC system will help you prevent a pest problem on your commercial property. Otherwise you could have some unwanted inhabitants like mice and rats. These critters crawl into these tight spaces and chew through important lines, making for costly expenses.
Cockroaches are another unwanted tenant. They get in from the smallest cracks. While they don’t damage the HVAC, they are full of diseases. Extermination can banish them but you should always keep on top of it to make sure they don’t come back.
Even snakes and spiders will try to call the HVAC home. While spiders can’t damage the HVAC, poisonous ones pose a danger to those in the building. Snakes can get caught in the HVAC blades which isn’t good for them or for your HVAC. Squirrels and racoons are other troublesome critters that can damage as much as rodents do.
Essentially keeping these things away from your HVAC is the best course of action. If you take steps to prevent them from getting in there, you’ll be less likely to have an unpleasant pest situation arise. You should clean and seal your ducts, flues, and vents once they are installed. Also, check regularly for any cracks or gaps. Make sure you get an annual maintenance checkup for your HVAC. Keep bushes and vines cut back from the cooling system so pests aren’t drawn in.
Don’t forget to utilize regular pest control treatment too. It’s what keeps critters out of schools, factories, offices, and retail spaces. Just taken over ownership? Schedule a consultation today for both HVAC maintenance and pest control to ensure smooth sailing ahead!
