Commercial Rodent Control: Xcluder Exclusion Works

In commercial settings, rodent infestations are more than just a nuisance—they’re a liability. Whether you manage a warehouse, operate a food processing plant, or oversee a chain of restaurants, you already know that the presence of rodents can lead to lost product, failed inspections, costly downtime, or even brand damage that’s hard to recover from.

The smartest pest control strategy isn’t waiting for signs of infestation—it’s keeping rodents out in the first place.

Why Pest Exclusion Is Essential for Commercial Rodent Control

Pest exclusion is a preventative, non-chemical method of pest control that physically blocks rodents and other pests from entering your facility. It’s the foundation of any strong Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program—and for good reason.

Top Rodent Entry Points in Commercial Buildings

Some common rodent rodent entry points include:

• Gaps under exterior doors
• Gaps around dock levelers
• Openings around utility lines and conduits
• Expansion joints and wall penetrations

Once inside, they bring risks to health, safety, and compliance—and can be notoriously difficult to eliminate without disrupting operations.

According to Dr. Matt Frye, entomologist with the New York State Integrated Pest Management Program:

“Mechanical exclusion should be the foundation of any rodent control program.”

By preventing rodents from entering at all, businesses can reduce their reliance on rodenticides, decrease long-term pest control costs, and minimize the risk of contamination or shutdowns.
