Here at Archers Pest Control, we service a wide variety of business types, including all of the following. In case you don't see your industry listed below, we can probably still help you.

Office Buildings
Your office building can become a hot spot for pest activity. With the number of people that come and go each day, pests are able to get inside, by finding an entry point from outside or riding in someone. Even if an infestation begins in one section of the building, many pests can move throughout the entire building through walls and ceilings. Remember a small, contained infestation can quickly spread and grow into a nightmare in a short amount of time.
With warm temperatures and a constant food supply, once pests get inside your office building, they will not leave the place on their own. To protect your employees as well as the building itself, you need the help of Archers Pest Control.

Schools
For the parents who send their children to your educational facility, they expect it to be a safe place where their children are cared for and kept healthy. A pest infestation can make it difficult for any of those goals to be accomplished.
Children can't learn when they or their teachers are distracted by pests. They can't be cared for and kept healthy when pests are threatening their health and safety through the spread of germs and by damaging the building. The best way for your school to maintain your primary and other objectives is to remain pest-free. In order to do that, you will need a professional pest control company such as Archers Pest Control.

Warehouses
Regardless of what is stored in your warehouse, it is expected that it will provide an environment that will keep the inventory in good condition. Unfortunately, pests such as rats and mice find the warehouses extremely inviting, and keeping them out and keeping your inventory safe from damage can be very hard. For the best protection against pests, you will need the help of Archers Pest Control.

Property Management
Managing apartment buildings or complexes request that you have to prevent pest problems before they start. Happy tenants lead to filled properties but pest-problem buildings lead to vacant properties and can also lead to bad reviews, making it hard to find new tenants in the future.
Even if a pest problem occurs in just one unit, it can quickly spread, infesting every apartment before you know what happened. Being aware and proactive helps keep pests out. Let Archers Pest Control help you with our commercial pest control.

Other pests cause serious problems, damaging your building or spreading different illnesses. Regardless of the type of pests, you are dealing with, you don't want them in your premises.

Cockroaches

Bed bugs can become an issue in any type of business, but the places they most often can be found are hotels or motels. They could be considered as nuisance pests since their bites are not known to transmit any diseases and they can't cause any damage to your building, the mental and emotional toll these pests take, as well as how large the infestation becomes, makes bed bugs a serious problem.

Rodents
Rodents are the one few pests that are able to cause problems both for people and buildings when they infest the area. The health problems they cause mostly are from contaminated waste they spread around. They can also bite and scratch. The damage they cause can be huge, from chewing holes, and gnawing wires to ruining insulation. A rodent infestation is something no business owner wants to deal with.

Why Pest Control Is So Important For London Businesses?
Many London business owners feel that pest control is something that's necessary only after pests invade instead of something that needs to be done proactively. After all, why spend money on a problem that doesn't exist for now? The truth is in the well-known saying,” True prevention is not waiting for bad things to happen, it's preventing things from happening in the first place”. By taking the time and money to begin pest control practices at your business, will save you a lot of time and money.
Think about the effect of a rodent infestation in your building. If you don't have any prevention methods, rodents such as rats, mice or squirrels can easily gain access to your business unit. Once they are in, they will immediately start damaging the building and the things inside. Mice and rats can reproduce and grow quickly. They will contaminate things such as food, that cause health issues and illnesses in your staff or even customers.
At this point, you not only need pest control to take care of the problem. Additionally, pest control will now have to both eliminate the infestation and also to prevent future infestation. You will also need to properly sanitize the whole building and get rid of all damaged items and replace them. All of this can take a lot of time, effort, and especially money. It may require closing your business, which further cuts into your ability to generate income.
Moreover, you will need to take steps to repair your reputation. All of these things cost more time, effort, and money than simply starting proactively pest control measures before a pest infestation occurs.
