Think pest infestations are only limited to summer time? Nothing could be further from the truth!

An outbreak of insects in your warehouse can not only contaminate your goods, but puts your workforce at the risk of harmful diseases as well. Contrary to popular belief, pest infestations can take place at any time of the year, which is why you need to take measures to keep your facility protected all year round.

Installing a bug screen is a quick and efficient way to minimize the possibility of infestation. Typically made out of screen mesh, these bug screens are installed at the entrance or exit to any enclosed space.

Warehouses, particularly those storing edible products, are highly vulnerable to infestations. Pests like ants, mice and rats can sneak into your storage facility through open doors and gaps and gnaw at products, leaving them unsuitable for use.

While keeping the door shut at all times is practically impossible, you can prevent these unwanted guests from entering your facility and damaging your products with the help of bug doors.

The quality of air declines quickly in closed off spaces, due to the accumulation of bacteria and debris. Bug screens are made out of wire mesh, which means they allow fresh air to pass through them. This helps in improving in-facility ventilation and adds to employee comfort.

Bug screens allow you to make the most of natural light, which helps in cutting down on energy costs. Working in a dull environment with minimum exposure to sunlight has a direct impact on workplace performance and can take a toll on the mental and physical health of your workers. By letting some of that natural light in, you can boost workplace performance and raise employee satisfaction.
