Shops and retail stores – Annual contract ensures clean and safe facilities all year round

Tuholaistorjunta kaupassa

In shops, supermarkets, and storage areas, pest control is a key part of customer safety and smooth business operations. Mice, rats, cockroaches, pantry moths, grain beetles, and other food pests can easily enter and cause product damage, health hazards, and serious reputation issues.

Pests in retail or storage spaces can result in:

  • A negative customer experience, especially if pests are spotted
  • Contaminated or discarded products, especially in food departments
  • Health risks, if droppings or traces are found near merchandise
  • Regulatory action, such as fines or notices from health inspectors
  • Financial losses, if infestations lead to waste or extensive cleaning

Why choose an annual contract?

An annual service contract delivers continuous, discreet pest protection without disrupting customer service or staff routines.

The service is tailored to your store’s size and operations, and typically includes:

  • Continuous monitoring of rodents and insects, using bait stations, glue boards, pheromone traps, and inspections at critical points
  • Regular inspection visits and reporting, for example weekly or monthly
  • Fast, customer-friendly response to infestations, without business interruption
  • Safe and industry-approved pest control methods, suitable for sensitive environments
  • Regulatory-compliant documentation of all findings and actions
  • Preventive guidance for staff, covering hygiene, waste handling, and storage practices

Most common pest issues in retail and storage

Rodents (mice and rats)

  • Enter through loading bays, doors, and structural gaps
  • Leave droppings and urine near products
  • Chew through packaging and spread disease
  • Are often active at night and go undetected for long periods

Food-infesting insects (e.g., pantry moths, beetles, flour pests)

  • Found in dry goods like flour, cereals, and nuts
  • Lay eggs in packaging and contaminate products
  • Can spread from storage areas to sales floor and even into customers’ homes

Cockroaches

  • Move through piping and structural gaps, hiding in break rooms or behind equipment
  • Require minimal food and water to survive
  • Difficult to eradicate without professional treatment
