Construction Site Pest Control
Construction sites are highly attractive to pests due to open access points, exposed materials, and constantly changing site conditions. Rodents, birds, insects, and other pests can cause significant damage, contaminate materials, delay projects, and create health and safety risks for workers.
Effective pest control is essential to keeping your site compliant, protected, and running smoothly.
Why Construction Sites Attract Pests
Construction environments naturally create a range of conditions that pests rely on:
Open and unsecured access points - Partially constructed buildings, scaffolding, and open façades provide easy entry for rodents, birds, and insects.
Availability of shelter - Void spaces, temporary structures, storage units, and unused materials provide ideal nesting and hiding locations.
Food waste from workers or nearby businesses - Leftover food, waste areas, and overflowing bins can quickly attract rats, mice, and flies.
Constant movement of materials and equipment - Deliveries can unintentionally carry pests onto the site, while debris and waste can provide harbourage.
Environmental disturbance - Excavation and demolition work often disturbs existing nests and pushes pests into new areas including your construction zone.
