Break Room Breakdown: How Office Coffee Stations Invite Pests (and a Weekend Fix)

A sticky sugar spill on the counter or a forgotten grounds jar can turn an otherwise productive office into a repeat pest hotspot. In this listener-focused monologue Mikey walks through a real service call at a small business: the signals that point to a coffee-station origin (sugar trails, oily smear locations, gnaw marks near supply closets, and activity timing), how employee routines and shared equipment amplify risk, and why identification before reacting matters. The episode translates IPM into workplace actions—inspection, sanitation, containment, exclusion and monitoring—while keeping legal and tenant/employee dynamics front of mind. The XTERMIGATOR DIY Report delivers three high-impact, non-chemical weekend moves any office manager or property supervisor can adopt (a shared-station SOP, sealed storage and timed cleanings, and low-profile exclusion of wiring/voids), plus clear red flags that require a licensed technician. Listeners leave with a short communication script for staff, a monitoring cadence, and a concrete CTA: try one fix this week and leave an honest review describing the result.
