Commercial Rat and Mouse Control in Miami
Miami businesses get rats for the same reasons homes do, with a lot more food on hand. Restaurants on Calle Ocho and in South Beach, grocery stores, commercial buildings out in Doral and condo towers with trash rooms can all draw rodents. A business usually needs a standing program instead of a one-time visit.
Expect the provider to set exterior stations around the building, traps in back-of-house areas, sealing at doors and pipe openings, and a log of each visit. That log is handy when an inspector asks what you're doing about pests. Doral warehouses and Miami Beach restaurants are two settings that come up a lot.
Restaurants and Food Businesses
Rats follow grease bins, dumpster corrals and back doors propped open for air. Inside, rats and mice use the gaps behind equipment, the space under coolers and the openings where plumbing and conduit pass through walls. Door sweeps, sealed pipe openings and a tight dumpster routine do as much good as traps.
Many restaurants schedule service before opening or after close. Tell the provider your hours on the first call.
Warehouses, Condos and Offices
Warehouses have dock doors, pallets of product and quiet corners. Condo and apartment buildings have trash chutes, trash rooms and shared walls. Offices have break rooms. Each needs a different setup, and the provider walks the property to plan it. If you manage a residential building, the units may need attention too. See mouse control for what happens inside them.
