Rodents don’t just invade homes they infiltrate commercial spaces too. As cooler weather moves in, different types of rodents like rats and mice begin searching for shelter, warmth, and food. Unfortunately, commercial buildings offer all three.
In facilities like warehouses, medical offices, financial institutions, and food service environments, rodents can slip through tiny utility gaps, HVAC chases, loading docks, or rooflines. Once inside, they can:
- Chew through wiring, insulation, and packaging.
- Contaminate stored products or sensitive equipment.
- Create fire hazards and sanitation concerns.
- Damage your reputation and potentially trigger costly compliance issues.
The reality? One overlooked gap could mean thousands in damage, or worse, a shutdown.
Shelter-Season Facility Check: What’s Included in Your Rodent Inspection
At LONESTAR Pest Solutions, we provide a Rodent & Wildlife Exclusion and Monitoring Service designed specifically for commercial and institutional environments.
Our Shelter-Season Inspection includes:
- A complete inspection of the facility’s perimeter, storage areas, breakrooms, and mechanical chases.
- Identification and sealing of structural gaps and utility penetrations.
- Placement of professional-grade monitoring and bait stations for early detection where needed.
- Customized exclusion detailing and facility documentation for compliance records.
Why Rodents Invade Commercial Spaces in Winter
In San Antonio’s mild winters, rodent activity doesn’t stop it simply moves indoors.
Warehouses and commercial properties near greenbelts, drainage channels, and construction zones see higher pressure as rodents migrate toward warmth.
For businesses, prevention isn’t just a smart move, it’s an investment in operational stability. A rodent incident can:
- Disrupt workflow and productivity.
- Lead to property or equipment damage.
- Result in health and safety violations.
- Undermine customer trust and brand reputation.
Proactive exclusion and monitoring cost a fraction of what an active infestation or remediation would — making it a critical step in your facility’s risk management plan.
