Coming across rodents during construction is not only frustrating, but can be difficult to remove as well as pose a risk to human health.
ICE Cleaning, a specialist cleaning company, are a provider of rodent removal solutions nationwide. They use advanced technologies to deal with rodent infestations in all kinds of settings, from domestic to industrial.
In this article, they take a look at the why professional rodent removal is important on building sites if one is identified.
Damage to the building
Should rodents be found on a building site, they could cause serious problems. From biting on wires to destroying facades, there are many dangers they can create that have the potential to halt building progress.
It could also take you longer to finish the project and lead to unwanted delays if a pivotal element of the build needs to be repaired. This may result in a loss of profits if you’re not able to meet deadlines because of the problem. Additionally, the project could risk going over budget should additional repairs be needed.
Our pest control technicians are available round the clock to provide you with help to remediate the issue. We can work to meet the needs of your schedule to reduce any downtime, including working through the night if necessary.
Health & safety
Rodents can cause a range of health risks for humans carried in things like their saliva and faecal matter. Rats also breed very quickly, which means the problem may become severe if left untreated.
Examples of illnesses rodents can spread include rat bite fever, salmonellosis, and leptospirosis. If your workers become ill as a result of coming into contact with rodents, this could result in increased absences in the workplace.
As a manager, you have a responsibility to protect the health of those under your charge while at work. Therefore, you must take all precautions to ensure a safe working environment for staff members.
You can rest assured that during the treatment our technicians will follow strict health and safety regulations. For example, they may isolate the area where work is being carried out or wear PPE wherever required. Customer and staff safety is incredibly important to us.
They will work hard to find the source of the issue and effectively deal with the rodent problem, leaving your site in a safe and clean condition following completion of the work. To limit the chance of injury and get your operation up and running again, call in the professionals to help you.
