How Do Outdoor Businesses Cope With Pests?

Businesses that primarily function outdoors are at a unique disadvantage when it comes to dealing with outdoor pests. Many companies often own wide tracts of land that must be maintained regularly. Similarly, companies and organizations that depend on the outdoors as retail locations, such as garden center and nurseries, must also take their customers’ safety into account.

They need to take every opportunity they can to preserve the outdoor retail experience while stopping the encroachment of pests into their inventory, employees, and customers. Here’s how they do it.

Aggressive Groundskeeping

Event venues, golf courses, and garden centers must all take their landscaping into account. In many cases, both the appearance and the quality of the landscaping at these locations are pivotal to their businesses. Long grass and overgrown vegetation can often mask treacherous molehills or wasp nests. It’s crucial that businesses with acres of land maintain a rigorous landscaping regimen to root out these kinds of issues.

Training

This applies more to companies that operate outside on other people’s property, like landscaping companies and construction contractors. It’s important that your employees be wary of the dangers of long grass, animal bites, and parasitic insects like ticks. With even the most rudimentary training plan, you can educate your employees on how to take preventive measures against harmful pests. Being able to tell the difference between a mosquito bite and a dangerous sting can mean the difference between the need for a cold compress and a trip to the emergency room.
