Integrated Facility Services: One Partner for Cleaning and Pest Control
Running a commercial facility is complex. Property managers, business owners, and multi-site operators must juggle cleaning, maintenance, pest prevention, and compliance, all while ensuring employees, tenants, or customers have a safe and pleasant environment.
That’s why more businesses across Washington are turning to integrated facility services, partnering with a single, capable company for both commercial cleaning and pest management. Fikes Sound Pest leads the way in the Northwest, offering deep cleaning expertise, pest control knowledge, and Integrated Pest Management programs all under one roof.
Why Integrated Facility Services Matter
Infestations aren’t random, they’re caused by three key factors: food, water, and shelter. Even the smallest crumbs or spills can attract pests such as rodents, cockroaches, and flies.
Effective facility cleaning isn’t just about appearances; it’s a critical defense against infestations. This includes:
- Removing crumbs, spills, and food debris from floors, counters, and common areas
- Sanitizing surfaces to eliminate food smells and other attractants
- Ensuring trash and waste areas are regularly maintained
Fikes Sound Pest is the only company in the Northwest that combines deep cleaning experience with pest control expertise. Having both capabilities under one roof ensures a seamless, highly effective approach to facility hygiene and pest prevention.
Exclusion Work: Sealing Entry Points to Prevent Infestations
Another key strategy in pest control is exclusion work, sealing cracks, gaps, and other openings that pests use to enter buildings. Not all companies understand the nuances of both building construction and pest behavior, but Fikes Sound Pest’s technicians are experts in identifying and closing pest entry points, keeping critters out before they can cause problems.
Exclusion work is essential in multi-unit facilities, restaurants, offices, and warehouses, as it provides a long-term solution rather than relying solely on chemical treatments.
Integrated Pest Management (IPM): Smarter, Safer, More Effective
Fikes Sound Pest utilizes Integrated Pest Management (IPM) a scientifically proven approach that combines sanitation, exclusion, and minimal pesticide use for maximum impact.
Benefits of IPM:
- Higher success rates: By addressing the root causes of infestations, food, water, and shelter—IPM is far more effective than repeated pesticide-only treatments.
- Lower toxicity: Minimal pesticide use protects employees, residents, and customers while maintaining compliance with environmental standards.
- Allergen reduction: Studies show IPM programs reduce cockroach populations and allergens more effectively than traditional methods.
- Long-term results: Combining cleaning, sealing, and strategic treatments ensures pests stay away permanently.

Why Partnering With One Company Makes Sense
Hiring multiple vendors for cleaning, pest control, and maintenance can lead to communication gaps, inconsistent standards, and missed opportunities for preventative action. By combining commercial cleaning and pest management, Fikes offers:
- Streamlined services: One company, one point of contact, one schedule
- Cost efficiencies: Bundled services reduce overall vendor management costs
- Data-driven strategies: Technicians can identify risks during cleaning visits and proactively address them with IPM and exclusion strategies
- Consistent quality: From deep cleaning to pest prevention, every step is monitored and optimized
