Service starts at 7 a.m. on weekdays, which lets us finish in many restaurants and offices before they open. Saturday visits between 7 a.m. and noon work well for offices and schools that are closed on weekends. Where children or patients are present, as in child care centers and medical offices, interior work is planned for times when they are out of the building. The technician follows the label directions on when people can return to a treated area. ## Pest control service records for health inspections and audits After each commercial visit, the technician leaves a written service record. It lists the date, the areas inspected, any pest activity found, the products applied with their EPA registration numbers, and any sanitation or repair issues that need attention. We can set up an on-site logbook to hold these records, along with a copy of our license and the labels and safety data sheets for the products we use. When a health inspector or an auditor asks for pest control documentation, the manager on duty has it in one place. ## How integrated pest management works in commercial buildings Integrated pest management, usually shortened to IPM, is the approach we use on commercial accounts. IPM starts with inspection and monitoring to find where pests are living and how they get in. From there, the plan combines targeted treatment with advice on sealing and sanitation, with products placed in cracks and bait stations rather than sprayed across open surfaces. ### Gaps and entry points Many commercial pest problems start at a gap in the building. Technicians look for worn door sweeps and damaged dock seals, along with gaps where pipes and conduit pass through walls. Each one goes on the service record with the repair it needs, such as a new door sweep or a door that no longer closes tight, so the business can schedule the fix. ### Drains, dumpsters and loading docks Floor drains collect grease and food debris that feed [cockroaches](https://platinumpestaz.com/services/roaches/), especially in kitchens and bars. Dumpster pads draw rodents and roaches when lids are left open or spills are not cleaned up. At loading docks, bright lights pull in crickets and other insects at night, and scorpions follow them. Moving lights away from doors or switching to yellow bulbs cuts down on the insects gathering there. ### Rodent monitoring stations For [rodent control](https://platinumpestaz.com/services/rodents/), we place locked bait stations along the outside of the building and check them on every visit, recording the activity on the service record. Inside kitchens and food storage areas, we rely on traps and monitors instead of bait. When a station shows activity, the technician also looks for where the rodents are getting in. ## How often a business needs pest control service Service frequency is set by risk. Restaurants and other food service accounts usually need monthly service, since kitchens give German cockroaches and rodents steady food and water. Warehouses with exterior rodent stations are usually checked monthly as well. Offices, retail stores and other spaces with little food on site often do well with bi-monthly or quarterly [general pest control](https://platinumpestaz.com/services/general-pest/). After the free inspection, we recommend a frequency and explain the reasons for it. ## One point of contact for single and multi-location accounts Each commercial account has one point of contact at our office who handles scheduling and paperwork. Businesses with more than one location in our service area can keep all of their sites on a single account, with a separate service schedule and set of records for each site.

Yes. Every commercial visit ends with a written service record that lists the areas inspected, the activity found and the products applied. We can also set up an on-site logbook with those records, a copy of our license, and the product labels and safety data sheets, so the paperwork is in one place when an inspector asks for it. ### Can pest control service be done before our business opens? Often, yes. Service starts at 7 a.m. Monday through Friday, so early visits usually finish before a restaurant or office opens. Saturday visits between 7 a.m. and noon are also available, which suits offices and schools that are closed on weekends. ### How often does a restaurant need pest control? Most restaurants and other food service businesses need monthly service, because kitchens give German cockroaches and rodents a steady supply of food and water. A kitchen with an active problem may need follow-up visits until activity is under control. The technician will recommend a frequency after a free inspection of the building. ### Do you work with apartment communities and HOAs? Yes. We service apartment communities, HOA common areas and managed properties, including pools, clubhouses, perimeter walls and individual units. Each account has one point of contact at our office, and a written service record is kept for each visit. ### Is a commercial pest inspection free? Yes. Commercial inspections and written quotes are free, with no obligation. The technician walks the building and the exterior, checks kitchens, drains, storage rooms and loading docks where the property has them, and then recommends a service plan and frequency for the business. ## Contact Platinum Pest Management - Phone or text: (480) 518-1942 - Office: 3944 E Ellis St., Mesa, AZ 85205 - Hours: Monday to Friday 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday 7 a.m. to noon, closed Sunday - Arizona pest control business license #9562 - Free inspection: https://platinumpestaz.com/free-inspection/
