Supermarket: Comprehensive warehouse rodent control and reduced stock loss in 90 days
Comprehensive control of rodent and pest risks in supermarket warehouses and logistics areas
Before partnering with PestMan, many retail locations faced product loss, packaging damage, and food safety risks originating from areas not directly visible to customers.
-
Product loss & food safety risks
Rodent infestations in storage areas not only damage packaging but can also contaminate dry food products, seasonings, and inventory. These issues are often detected late, leading to product disposal, increased shrinkage, and serious potential food safety risks.
-
Operational risks & internal control
Because warehouse areas are not directly exposed to customers, pest control is often deprioritized and handled inconsistently across stores. Management teams find it difficult to accurately assess the actual severity, while recurring incidents create significant pressure on operations and inventory teams.
PestMan focuses on addressing “blind spots of risk” in supermarket operations
-
Root-cause rodent control in warehouse areas
PestMan conducts a full inspection of warehouse areas, receiving zones, and loading/unloading docks to identify rodent entry pathways. Trapping systems and exclusion measures are strategically deployed to cut off entry sources at the external perimeter. -
Prevention over reaction after losses occur
Instead of only reacting after damage is detected, PestMan implements a scheduled pest control program to identify early signs of rodent and insect activity. This approach helps minimize risks before incidents can cause actual losses. -
Clear monitoring for chain management teams
Rodent and pest control conditions in warehouses are monitored and reported periodically for each store. Management teams can easily compare data, identify anomalies, and maintain consistent standards across the entire system.
Results
-
Significant reduction in
rodent incidents in warehousesReports of rodents and signs of damage in warehouse areas decreased significantly shortly after implementation.
-
Reduced shrinkage
and product disposalThe rate of product damage caused by rodents and insects decreased significantly, helping supermarkets better control shrinkage costs.
-
Stable operations
& proactive controlThe operations team is no longer forced into reactive incident handling, while management has clear data to control long-term risks.
“Previously, rodent issues in our warehouse were very difficult to control. Since implementing PestMan’s program, shrinkage has decreased significantly and the operations team has become much more proactive.”
