Pests in the workplace are much more than little irritants. They can present a serious risk to the health of people working in that environment, so management and staff alike have a responsibility to ensure that their workplace does not become a breeding ground for ants, bugs, spiders and vermin to set up residence.

There’s no guarantee that your office will remain pest-free for the rest of its days, but you can be sure certain that negligible behaviour will send an open invitation to pests to come on in.

Simple actions such as not leaving food lying around and not leaving the fridge open will help matters, as will regular emptying of trash cans so that garbage is not left to fester in the cafeteria for days on end. Also, pests thrive on build-ups of water, so if you have any plants in your workplace, keep them watered with great care.
