A loading bay left open for ten minutes is effectively an open door, and most warehouses have several of them, all day, every day. Scale changes the problem here. It’s not one kitchen or one flat, it’s a building with dozens of entry points, storage that can hide activity for weeks before anyone notices, and stock that’s genuinely worth protecting from contamination or damage.
Crittorz handles pest control for warehouses and industrial sites across London and the South East, surveyed and quoted properly for the size of the building rather than approached like a smaller commercial job with a bigger number attached.
Warehouse jobs are quoted per site, based on scale and layout.
A domestic property might need two or three bait stations. A warehouse might need forty, positioned along loading bays, perimeter walls, and internal routes that a smaller survey wouldn't even think to check. Roofline and eaves checks matter more too, industrial roofs and guttering are common bird roosting sites, and left unchecked that becomes a maintenance problem as much as a pest one.
Loading bays and dock doors, open for loading and unloading, are the most obvious entry point and usually the hardest to fully seal. Racking and pallet storage create exactly the kind of undisturbed space rodents use to establish themselves without being seen. Perimeter walls and external storage areas are often the first sign of activity, well before anything's noticed inside the building itself.
Full site survey scaled to the building, not a standard smaller-site checklist
Extended bait station networks along loading bays and perimeter routes
Roofline and eaves checks for bird activity
Proofing recommendations for dock doors, loading bays, and structural gaps
Stock protection measures where contamination risk applies
Reports suitable for insurance, compliance, or client audits where stock integrity matters
Scale, mainly. More entry points, more storage space that can hide activity, and a proofing plan that has to account for loading bays and dock doors rather than just a couple of external walls.
Yes, treatment and inspection visits are scheduled around operational hours so they don't interrupt loading, dispatch, or deliveries.
Yes, roofline and eaves checks are part of a standard warehouse survey, since industrial roofs are common roosting sites and the mess and blockage risk builds up quickly if it's not addressed.
Stock protection is factored directly into the survey and treatment plan, and reports can be provided in a format suitable for insurance or client audit requirements.
Depends on the site and what's stored there, but quarterly is common, with more frequent checks for higher-risk storage or sites with previous activity.
