Grocery Store and Supermarket Pest Control

Supermarkets and grocery stores are at the top of the list of places where consumers expect a clean and safe environment – especially now. A mouse or cockroach sighting can eliminate your customer’s trust in your stores and your brand, not to mention the brands of the products you sell. With Rentokil on your side, you can be confident that your stores will have the best defense against pest issues in place.

Rentokil’s program was designed to relieve all of your pest fears. With the help of our innovative products, equipment, and treatment methods, infestations can be rapidly eliminated. Our team will then set up preventive maintenance programs to combat future pest issues.

Disinfection for Grocery & Supermarkets

In addition to working with grocery stores and supermarkets to combat pest issues, Rentokil also offers a disinfection service that can help such businesses combat the risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.

Core Pests for Grocery & Supermarkets

Don’t let pests jeopardize the hard work you have out in to show customers your commitment to food quality and safety. Rentokil’s pest prevention program works well for organizations with high levels of consumer awareness and strict quality assurance programs, just like your stores. Our core program targets pests most likely to infest grocery stores: cockroaches, common ants, mice, and rats.

Based on a detailed evaluation of your facility, Rentokil will design a program to meet your needs, taking into account factors such as structural integrity, environmental pest pressures, and potential for activity. Receiving and loading docks, produce and bakery sections, and other areas of likely activity are all included in our detailed service program.

Atypical Ants for Grocery & Supermarkets

Ants in a grocery or supermarket environment do more than just send the wrong message to customers about store cleanliness – certain species can also put those customers at risk. Fire ants can inflict painful stings and swarm when disturbed. Their attacks can even be fatal to small children or the elderly.

Rentokil has developed specialized protocols to combat fire ants and other atypical species, addressing the unique concerns posed by these pests. For fire ants, we’ll put in place an aggressive program to eliminate existing colonies and help deter future fire ant infestations, keeping everyone on your premises safe from harm.

Integrated Bird Management for Grocery & Supermarkets

Building facades, sign lettering, large parking lots with streetlights, and easy access to dumpsters make grocery stores and supermarkets a prime environment for birds. These features create safe nesting and roosting spots and provide food for birds. And while they may seem harmless, a single bird’s droppings and feathers can carry and transmit over 60 diseases. They can also compromise air quality, damage equipment, and structures, and create an unsightly mess.

Rentokil’s Integrated Bird Management Program safely and humanely solves nuisance bird issues through an innovative and comprehensive solution of trapping, removal, and targeted exclusion techniques, focusing on the areas of your store’s environment most susceptible to bird activity.

Flies for Grocery & Supermarkets

Flies are vectors of disease, spreading bacteria wherever they land. In grocery stores and supermarkets, the presence of flies can contaminate food in production areas and signal cleanliness issues to customers.

Rentokil begins on the exterior of your facility, where large flies breed and develop before making their way inside. A comprehensive fly baiting program targets fly hot spots, such as dumpsters, to kill flies before they have a chance to invade. Inside, we will install insect light traps and perform residual applications to ensure the flies that do find their way inside are eliminated.

Stored Product Insects for Grocery & Supermarkets

Grocery stores and supermarkets sell a variety of dried food and grain products, certain areas of your facility may be the target of stored product insect infestations. These pests can feed on any number of products, including pet food, birdseed, pasta, dried fruits, chocolate, and flour and grain products, causing contamination issues and making you susceptible to lost business.

For pests such as Indian meal moths and rice weevils, Rentokil has developed targeted service protocols. We will conduct a detailed inspection, focusing on the bakery, pasta, and baking supply aisles, and areas where pet food is stored. Then, we’ll physically remove any infestations we uncover, apply residual products and insect growth regulators to provide lasting protection and install special pheromone monitors to alert us to the potential for new activity. In addition, our team will work with your staff to educate them on how to prevent issues from recurring, building an impervious defense against stored product insects at your store.
