A survey conducted by Pest Control companies in Europe reported a 51% increase in rat activity and a 41% increase in mouse activity. The presence of empty buildings and deserted streets provides an ideal opportunity for rats and mice to thrive, and even leads to an increase in behaviorally bolder and more innovative individuals. In order to prevent such situations, commercial establishments that have ceased operations should continue to receive pest control services, which will prevent them from experiencing even bigger problems in the future.
With the normalization process, many businesses that were closed, such as hotels, have slowly started to prepare for the season. Hotels that had a bed bug problem before the quarantine will definitely need to receive pest control services before opening for the season. It should not be overlooked that bed bugs are more aggressive due to hunger during this period when the buildings are empty, and that there will be an increase in their population.
