Transport Hubs

The transport infrastructure covers a wide range of busy premises and facilities, each presenting their own challenges in terms of controlling rodents and insects. Integrated pest management centred around BASF treatment solutions is an effective way of maintaining a healthy, safe and pest-free environment.

Usual issues

Attractive sites for pests

Airport terminals and train stations are bustling places, used by thousands of passengers on a daily basis, many of whom will be eating and drinking and then discarding waste. The abundance of readily available food makes transport hubs a perfect setting for pests.In transport terminals, ceilings, ducts, voids and walls that are hard for humans to reach pose no problem at all for pests in search of shelter.

Multiple access points

Transport terminals are large, generally open, public spaces. Pests can enter premises and vehicles in many different ways and then roam freely inside them. Passengers – and their pets – can also introduce pests in these areas, by carrying them in their luggage, on their clothing or on their pets’ fur.Short turnaround times

Short turnaround times

Public transport systems and airlines operate on quick turnaround times in order to optimise passenger throughput and hence profitability. However, a quick turnaround can curtail the time spent by cleaning staff on monitoring the presence of pests. The pest management process is best left to trained professionals, who are used to working under time constraints, when they are fumigating cabins during turnaround, for instance.
