Warehouses & Industrial Buildings

Warehouses, manufacturing plants, and distribution centers face unique challenges when it comes to pest control. These large facilities provide ample food sources, shelter, and hidden harborage areas that make them ideal breeding grounds for pests. With constant movement of products, shipments, and employees, a single pest infestation can spread quickly and disrupt operations.


At U.S. Pest Control, we deliver customized pest control solutions for warehouses and industrial facilities across Richmond, Henrico, Chesterfield, and surrounding areas. We understand that protecting your supply chain means more than stopping pests—it means safeguarding your inventory, brand reputation, and regulatory compliance.


Why Pest Control is Critical in Warehouses & Industrial Facilities


Warehouses and industrial operations are particularly vulnerable because of their size and function. Common risks include:


  • Rodents (Rats & Mice) – Nest in pallets, wall voids, and stored goods. They chew through packaging, wiring, and contaminate inventory with droppings and urine.
  • Stored Product Pests – Beetles, Indian meal moths, and weevils infest grains, flour, packaged foods, and raw materials, often going unnoticed until major contamination occurs.
  • Birds (Pigeons, Starlings, Sparrows) – Nesting and droppings around loading docks and rafters create unsanitary conditions and damage equipment.
  • Flies – Enter through open dock doors and waste areas, spreading bacteria throughout break-rooms, food storage areas, and production lines.
  • Cockroaches – Thrive in break areas, drains, and equipment rooms where heat and moisture accumulate.


Because industrial facilities are high-traffic and often operate 24/7, pest control must be strategic, discreet, and preventive.


Our Warehouse & Industrial Pest Control Process


We use a science-based Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach tailored to large-scale facilities:


  1. Comprehensive Facility Inspection – Identify pest activity, high-risk zones, and structural vulnerabilities.
  2. Customized Treatment Plans – From rodent bait stations around the perimeter to pheromone traps inside, we match treatments to your exact needs.
  3. Exclusion & Sanitation Guidance – Seal entry points, improve waste management, and provide staff training to reduce pest risks.
  4. Ongoing Monitoring & Reporting – We place monitoring devices in strategic locations and provide detailed reporting for audits, compliance, and internal records.
  5. Scheduled Preventive Maintenance – Regular visits to replenish bait stations, review trap data, and ensure pests never gain a foothold.
