Hello, I'm wondering if anyone can share info on the fiscal impact of addressing pest issues reactively vs proactively, whether there are publications I've missed or if anyone is willing to share their experiences? In trying to soften the blow of proposed costs incurred in preventive treatments (freezing, anoxia), we're attempting to highlight with hard numbers the costs of treating infestations after the fact, i.e., cost of hiring extra staff, hiring external companies to freeze at volume, delays in exhibition, shut down of facilities. The goal being hard numbers underscore the cost effectiveness and good business sense of preventive care. If anyone can share thoughts, please contact me here: [email protected] and thank you in advance.
