Pest Control Using Mesh or Elastomeric Caulks Applied by Professional Contractors
Ideally, you should never have to deal with rodents and insects making their way into your business or commercial property. Unfortunately, it’s a common occurrence as buildings age and periodic inspection and preventative maintenance are overlooked. Even though the task of plugging small, pest-sized holes in a building seems menial, it’s important. Proper sealing ensures that additional pests and accompanying annoyances such as insects, birds, bats, snakes and more, are unable to set up house in your commercial property. Often incorrect materials are used to seal these openings and the work is not properly completed. That’s why it’s important to contact the professional painting contractors at your independently owned and operated Alonso’s Painters to handle the job for you.
Elastomeric Caulk is a Wise Choice for Business or Commercial Properties
This technical-sounding caulk isn’t so technical. Elastomeric refers to whether or not a material returns to its original size once it has been stretched or compressed. Nearly all other caulking materials are non-elastomeric, so they’re a poor solution for pest control. On the other hand, a sealant (different than a sealer) that is elastomeric can be used to control many types of pests from entering your building. The trick is choosing the right one. Several factors should come into consideration when choosing the desired sealant including the amount of movement expected in a joint you’re sealing, the surface of the area you’re sealing, and annual temperature conditions to name a few. Choosing the wrong sealant won’t control pest problems. Neither will working with inexperienced solutions companies. So, working with a professional commercial painting service like Alonso’s Painters is always a preferred choice.
