Whether it’s fleas, spiders, ants, wasps, bed bugs, cockroaches or even termites; sometimes a pest infestation in the workplace can become so out of hand, you may require a fumigation.
After your office or factory has been fumigated, there are a few things you can do to help prevent them coming back and ensure your workplace is safe from the harsh chemicals sometimes used to treat certain pests.
Firstly, it’s important to ensure you wipe down all hard surfaces after a pest control treatment, as sprays are often used during the process that can leave residual chemicals throughout the building. These chemicals can land in places like the kitchen, breakroom, desks or any other places where food may be prepared or consumed so, you will need to make sure these areas are properly cleaned.
During a spider spray, pest controllers combine their chemicals with water and use a special spray gun on the interior roof. While it’s important not to wipe down the areas that have been directly sprayed (defeating the purpose of the treatment altogether), it’s not uncommon for this water/chemical mix to drip off the roof onto various places throughout the workplace so keep an eye out for that.
One of the best things you can do, post-fumigation, is a full vacuum of the premises. Not only does this collect treatment dust that is commonly used in vents for things like spiders and cockroaches, it helps get rid of any eggs or dead pests left behind. The same goes for steam cleaning the carpet. This is particularly helpful after flea treatments because fleas often live and breed on the carpet, leaving behind eggs that may have survived.
