Nearby construction can affect pest control in commercial properties by potentially increasing the risk of infestations. Construction sites can disrupt the natural habitat of pests and drive them into nearby buildings seeking new shelter. Dust and debris from construction can also attract pests. To mitigate these effects, it’s important to maintain a vigilant pest control program and conduct regular inspections. Ensure that construction activities are managed to minimize the spread of pests and that any potential entry points created by construction work are promptly sealed.
