* Examine the exterior for cracks or crevices.

* Seal all unnecessary exterior openings – no matter how small with weather resistant sealant. Many pests can fit through an opening as small as the width of a pencil.

* Make sure all doors are tightly sealed to prevent pests from entering under closed doors. Remember to install or replace door sweeps if necessary.

* Work with an HAVC professional to adjust the building’s airflow so that the air flow out when the door is opened, making it difficult for flying insects to enter the premises.

* Use sodium vapor lamps, instead of insect-attracting fluorescent lamps, in exterior light fixtures and fittings.

* Using fluorescent lamps in car parking lighting or other fixtures at least 100 feet from a building will pull flying insects away from the facility.

* Examine the roof for signs of a bird infestation. Consider installing ledge treatment such as bird gel repellent or spikes to keep birds off the facility. Place netting or vinyl skirts around HVAC units to prevent birds from nesting underneath.

* Always check incoming goods.
