If your business or store is located in the countryside, or even a place in the city which has problems with pests such as stray cats, foxes, or rats, you are probably concerned about health and safety around the property, and about keeping the rubbish tips on the grounds looking clean and pest free. Here are some tips to help you achieve this.
First, you need to put wire fencing all around the property. This is essential to keeping out both pests and people. If you have ever had trouble with vandals, thieves, or kids loitering in the parking lot or gangs causing trouble, you will definitely want the fencing. Good sturdy garden fencing will also keep out anything from a fox looking for trash to a deer wanting to nibble those apples on the tree behind your building.
Good wire fencing and garden fencing can be purchased from companies that supply fencing to industrial companies and businesses. If you aren’t sure what you need, contact the company and ask for some advice.
Next, keep rubbish tips clean and make sure they are emptied as often as possible. Even with the fencing, you may struggle with birds like pigeons constantly seeking food from the tips. This is especially problematic for grocery stores or restaurants.
If there is often spillage, make sure that someone has the job of keeping the area around the tips clean and tidy. You can also try to block off any little holes and alcoves that might be found along the eaves of your building that pigeons may want to nest in. If you remove the places they like to nest or hide from the weather, they are less likely to hang out there for food.
Finally, if necessary, contact a pest control company. Never try to physically remove wild or stray animals yourself.
