Why Outsource Your Janitorial Service?

While some companies choose to do their own janitorial hiring, many decide instead to outsource that work to a firm with an expertise in that field. You may be wondering, What is the benefit to outsourcing our janitorial needs? There are several!

  • Cost. Hiring a company like All Source to handle janitorial duties in your building or office can be much more cost effective than having extra employees on your books.
  • Other specialties. Employees you hire to perform janitorial work may not be skilled in other areas, too. All Source, for instance, provides a number of different services in addition to office cleaning, such as plumbing repair, electrical service, power washing, painting, and more.
  • Clean work environment. You'll enjoy a clean office that creates a good, positive impression on those who work for you and those who stop in for business. Germs will also be cleaned up more frequently, which means employee-spread illnesses should decline.

Ants in Your Office

Ants will enter any premises with the intention of finding food. If your office has food sitting around, especially if that food is not closed up or stored properly, ants are sure to find it.

Fortunately, there are a few ways to deal with ants in your office that don't require spending money on an exterminator or a type of poison.

  • Spices like cinnamon, cayenne pepper, black pepper, or peppermint oil can kill ants. You just have to arrange the spice in such a way that ants have no choice but to travel through it.
  • Grits can also kill ants. They'll eat them up and later suffer the consequences, as the grits will expand inside their stomachs and kill them.
  • Lemon juice mixed with water can curb your ant problem when sprayed in an area ants often show up.
Try one or more of these methods, and don't be afraid to call a specialist if you need more help.
