I've worked at a few warehouses picking orders and I second this. At least in the US health and building codes require rodent traps and inspections happen regularly. While I'm sure infestations happen businesses that want to stay open follow the law and get pests under control.
It's amusing seeing people who clearly haven't spent time in warehouses tell internet strangers that warehouses have rats.
A single rat sighting inside a US food-grade warehouse is a serious event.
I’ve personally tasked people to chase around a bird and shove it out the door for 2 hours because you can’t just allow it to exist.
Wow, in other manufacturing I’ve had to call something “biologically contaminated” to mean that the bird infestation in the warehouse is out of control but we can’t convince anyone to pay to fix it
Did they kill it when it was out the door or did they just allow it to exist?
The deed was done and it deserved its fate
Ha! I was picturing a dollar general when I wrote that. The last time I was in a major warehouse it was also for a discount reseller.
