Unless you come across a leak or see sparks in your office, you can feel comfortable scheduling your regular plumbing and electrical inspections on an annual basis. When it comes to animal infestations, however, you might not know exactly when and how often to have your office examined — especially if you don’t see any obvious red flags. While the exact timing of each wildlife inspection will depend on a handful of different factors, here are a few tips to help you get started on a schedule.
Why Wildlife Management Matters to Businesses
Putting off wildlife inspections can have serious consequences for your business. In fact, the damage left after an animal infestation often includes:
- HVAC malfunctions
- Plumbing leaks
- Water damage
- Electrical hazards
- Mold spores
Signs You Need a Wildlife Inspection Immediately
Before thinking about your long-term pest plans, address any immediate concerns that need your attention. You should consider a prompt wildlife inspection if:
- your office has never been inspected
- you smell urine or feces
- you hear unexplained rustling, scratching, or scurrying
- you find chew marks or scratches
Requesting a professional wildlife inspection is the only way to accurately diagnose and begin effective treatment for an infestation, which is why you should never hesitate to ask for the help of an experienced animal expert.
Creating Your Commercial Wildlife Schedule
Schedules for commercial wildlife inspections vary from business to business. Therefore, the exact timing of your long-term wildlife inspections will depend on a few different factors, such as:
- The roof on your building
- Your office location
- Prior wildlife issues
- The age of your building
- Your sanitation schedule
Of course, you should always reach out to a wildlife management partner if you see or suspect an animal issue anytime in between your regularly scheduled inspections.
