Pest prevention is most effective when it is proactive, structured, and continuous.
Facilities often focus on pest control only after an issue appears. By that point, infestations can disrupt operations, compromise safety, and increase remediation costs. Preventive maintenance shifts the focus from reaction to preparedness, helping organizations reduce risk before pests become a problem.
This whitepaper from Orkin outlines a practical, zone-based preventive maintenance schedule designed to help facilities maintain pest-resistant environments year-round. It breaks facilities into clearly defined risk zones and provides guidance on inspection frequency, maintenance priorities, and seasonal considerations.
By integrating pest prevention into routine facility maintenance, organizations can protect operations, improve compliance, and reduce long-term pest pressure across both interior and exterior environments.
You will learn how:
- Preventive maintenance reduces pest risk before infestations occur
- Orkin uses a zone-based approach to identify pest pressure areas
- Green, yellow, and red zones require different inspection frequencies
- Common facility areas such as storage, breakrooms, docks, and exteriors contribute to pest risk
- Ongoing inspections support long-term Integrated Pest Management programs
This whitepaper is designed for facility managers, operations leaders, safety teams, and organizations responsible for maintaining clean, compliant, and pest-resistant environments.
