Pest Control Sittingbourne
Industrial estates, a paper-making history, and large buildings that are hard to seal.
Pest Control in Sittingbourne
Sittingbourne has more industrial and warehouse floor space than most Kent towns of its size, a long history of paper making and food processing, and large estates of housing between and around it.
Big buildings are a different problem from houses, and the difference is mostly about doors.
Industrial units
Every Opening Is a Door
A warehouse or production unit has a perimeter measured in hundreds of metres and an opening every few of them: roller shutters, personnel doors, dock levellers, service penetrations, ducting, cable trays and drainage. Sealing a building like that is a programme rather than a job.
What actually works on these premises, in the order it pays:
- Shutter and door discipline. A roller shutter left open through a shift is the single biggest factor on most sites, and it costs nothing to change.
- Brush strips and thresholds on personnel doors, where a worn seal leaves a gap a rat walks under.
- External housekeeping - pallets against the wall, waste skips near the building, vegetation up to the cladding. All of that is cover on the approach.
- Monitoring with a written record, because on a site this size you need a trend rather than a snapshot.
For food processing and storage there is an audit dimension as well: a documented programme with dated findings is what a BRC or customer audit expects to see, and it is far easier to produce as you go than to reconstruct.
