Bug and Insect Control & Solution

Bugs and insects can pose a serious health risk in different types of buildings, including restaurants, food processing plants and hospitals. The use of mechanical ventilation offers a way to lower the risk of health hazards and other problems, such as food contamination or damage to products stored in warehouses. Air curtains, portable barrel fans, mancooler fans, pedestal fans and other industrial fans help to control these nuisances.  

Air Quality and Health Hazards Due to Bugs and Insects

Having bugs and insects inside commercial or industrial buildings can have a negative effect on air quality. Certain bugs and insects carry or spread germs around, which can contaminate surfaces inside these buildings. Some bugs and insects leave waste around that can cause respiratory symptoms and other health problems, especially for individuals who have underlying health conditions. Industrial or shop fans that provide ventilation can help prevent bugs and insects from entering buildings or keep them out of certain areas within a building.  

Types of Mechanical Ventilation for Bug and Insect Solutions 

Using industrial fans to ventilate commercial and industrial settings offers a non-toxic way to keep bugs and insects away. Relying on these types of fans, such as mancooler fans for projecting air at high velocities, or air curtains rather than chemical pest control products helps improve air quality. Industrial Fans Direct carries different types of fans for mechanical ventilation as a way to prevent bug and insect infestations.  

Air Curtains

Flying insects can easily enter buildings through doors, windows and other openings. Keeping these types of insects out in order to prevent contamination and health hazards can be difficult to do. Air curtains, also called air doors, can help keep flying insects out of buildings. These types of fans are set up to blow a steady stream of air down to stop flies and other flying insects from getting through doorways. At Industrial Fans Direct, our air curtains can move as much as 7,500 cubic feet per minute (CFM).

Mancooler Fans

Mancooler fans are high velocity fans that are built to cover long distances and move up to 75,000 CFM. These portable and stationary mount fans are designed to offer cool, fresh air for employees in areas that are humid and hot or dusty. Using mancooler fans in industrial and commercial settings also provides a way to improve air quality and discourage bugs and insects from entering certain areas. Having mancooler fans set up on floors, walls or ceilings so that they blow in a specific direction can make it difficult for insects and bugs to move around, causing them to avoid these areas. 

Explosion Proof Mancooler Fans

Bugs and insects are able to reach any areas inside commercial and industrial buildings. Explosion proof mancooler fans can be set up in hazardous locations, such as in confined spaces or plants containing gases or potentially flammable fumes. These types of industrial fans, which are able to move up to 55,000 CFM, offer ventilation to prevent bugs and insects from causing an infestation while also lowering the risk of explosions or fires.  

Pedestal Fans

Warehouses, restaurants, manufacturing facilities and other industrial and commercial buildings can use pedestal fans to improve air circulation and discourage pests in certain rooms or areas. Pedestal fans can also be used to deter bugs and insects in residential settings. These oscillating fans are able to be mounted on walls or ceilings as needed or placed on the floor to blow air around in a specific area. This air movement, which ranges between 2,501 and 13,000 CFM, can help reduce the risk of insect and bug infestations while also improving indoor air quality. 

Portable Drum Fans 

Portable drum fans provide a high amount of power for moving air out of a room or another part of a commercial or industrial building. In fact, Industrial Fans Direct offers portable drum fans that move air between 2,501 and 55,000 CFM. Since these fans are portable, they can be moved around from one area to another as needed. Portable drum fans can quickly boost indoor air quality and deter insects and bugs with powerful streams of air. These fans can also keep floors dry after spills, so that liquids or moisture won’t attract pests.
