Why is pest control important?

Generally, pest infestation has the power to put the reputation of your products, services, and business at risk.

For example, in a popular Japanese restaurant in KL, 2 rats were seen running around the kitchen freely by a customer. The news quickly went viral, and people have shared their disappointment about the lack of hygiene.

Hence, every organization should be responsible for creating a clean and pest-free environment.

Hence, pest control is designed to help decrease and suppress pest infestation levels for both household and structural pests.

So, it is important to have professional exterminators or pest control experts to exercise effective pest management.


What are the methods of IPM?

With that in mind, here are the 7 methods of Integrated Pest Management in Malaysia.

1. Pest Management Inspection

Firstly, you should expect regular inspections scheduled to achieve the full effectiveness of IPM.

Therefore, experts typically focus on the critical areas of your working space where pests are highly potential to appear.

List of areas for IPM inspection:

Place Area
Office Kitchen and dining area, meeting rooms, car park
Food processing Incoming and outgoing goods, warehouse, waste storage
Hotel Food stores, restaurants, kitchens, guest rooms
Food retail Stockroom, delivery areas, waste storage area
Pharmaceutical plant Incoming and outgoing goods, warehouse, laboratory
Restaurants Kitchen, washrooms, food stores
Institution Classrooms, activity area, kitchen, dining area

Hence, you must keep these areas clean at all times.

Then, arrange regular inspections to identify potential entry points that encourage pest infestations.

2. Pest Prevention Action

If you happen to see even the tiniest sign of pests, take immediate steps to address it.

Hence, one of the best things you could do is structural maintenance. Then, close all the discovered potential entry points during pest inspection and keep them clean and hygienic.

By doing so, you can easily reduce the usage of chemical contact. Also, the constant practice of sanitation by pest control providers will reduce pest pressure at your workplace in the long run.
