The Trash Can Plan
Your Strategy for Keeping Your Building Free of Pests
Stop pests on your commercial property
Did you know that you could be providing a steady source of food, water and shelter right beside your building that could be attracting pests and rodents? That’s right! If poorly managed, your trash receptacle can become an attractant to pests and an open invitation into your establishment.
To combat this, here are a few simple tricks and tips:
- Self closing or covered public trash receptacles should be available throughout the location. Emptying these several times per day will prevent odor and overflow issues.
- Assure all food waste is placed in trash bags that are tied shut prior to being placed into the dumpster. Instruct your staff not to tear open the bags when placing them into the dumpster.
- Dumpsters should be emptied at least twice per week.
- Cleaning of the dumpster pad or corral area is a big help in controlling fly populations.
