·         Seeking shelter – Pests want shelter away from the elements outside, and your office may be the perfect place to do that. They will have no problem getting into your property if there’s harsh weather conditions outside.

·         Easy access – When there are a lot of cracks, crevices and openings around your building, it’s so easy for pests to enter your property. A pest will not pass up such a great opportunity to enter.

·         Food sources – Food attracts a whole plethora of pests. Even the smallest crumbs can lure pests into your business premises. Unattended pet food and spillages will also be a big attraction for pests. Remember to wipe down all of your surfaces and clean the floors to make sure no pests will find food to eat there.

·         Water sources – If you have a property that tends to get quite damp, this is the perfect living conditions for a lot of pests. Most pests will absolutely thrive in moisture, and breed like crazy. Water sources could also be leaky water pipes and dripping taps, so make sure you keep your business property well maintained and all repairs up to date.

·         Lots of clutter – Having a cluttered office gives pests lots of opportunities to hide and go unnoticed. De-cluttering and regularly cleaning your property takes these opportunities away.
