Hello all, Our Director of Facilities is wanting to explore bringing our monthly pest control treatment in house. We currently use a third party for regular monitoring and treatment throughout our public and back of house spaces, including our collections storage spaces. He wants to cancel that contract and have his team handle the regular pest control treatment.
My initial reaction was sure if the right certifications and training are secured. But now I'm concerned about response and expertise for any issues including infestation. What other questions, concerns or arguments am I missing? Any other private institutions (we are not s city nor a state museum nor are we associated with an university) that do their own pest control? I welcome all insight or thoughts you may have! Thanks, Leslie Leslie M.
