Pest Control for Foreign Worker Dormitories

Employers must carry out due diligence to ensure their employees are living in a safe and healthy dormitory. Anyone who has managed a foreign worker dormitory knows that these facilities are always at risk for pest infestations.

Migrant worker dormitories bring different people and their possessions together into close quarters, often under the same roof. If any of your migrant workers was living with pests such as roaches or bed bugs prior to arriving at your facility, they may very well transport the bugs in their possessions.

Besides that, Singapore's warm and humid climate makes it easy for pests to thrive in abundance. Effective pest control for migrant worker dormitories Singapore involves finding the best methods to control the invaders while minimizing the use of potentially toxic pesticides.

Protect Pest Control Singapore uses an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program to control pests in migrant worker dormitories. This program emphasizes on eliminating all nesting places, food, and water sources, and excluding pests from the facility. Our pest management professionals work closely with your residents and dormitory maintenance staff. This helps us identify the root cause of pest problems, early signs of potential infestations, and any areas that require improvement for the best pest control results.

For instance, they can fly in via open windows, and workers can unknowingly introduce them into the dormitory on their personal belongings.

Bed Bugs In Foreign Worker Dormitories

Besides being aesthetically displeasing, rodents are extremely destructive. They constantly gnaw on anything they come across, including electrical wiring, walls, pipes, boxes, and doors.
