Sector Specialisms

Commercial Pest Control by Sector

Different sectors face different pest pressures and different audit standards

Shield’s contracts are designed sector by sector, around how your operation actually runs and the standard you are audited against.

Not sure which applies to your site?

Most sites span more than one. A free survey establishes the pest pressures and the audit evidence your operation actually needs, whatever the sector label says.

Frequently Asked Questions

A: Most commercial sites do. What matters is the pest pressure and the audit standard, not the label. A free survey establishes both and the programme is built around the strictest requirement that applies to you.

A: Yes. Monitoring density, visit frequency, device types and scheduling all change by sector, and a programme designed for a warehouse would fail an audit on a food production site.

A: Yes. Each site gets its own risk assessment and programme, reported the same way and rolled up to portfolio level in one login.
